Jennifer Sky (born Jennifer Wacha; October 13, 1976) is an American actress. She is known for her role as Sarah Webber in General Hospital (1997–1998) and Cleopatra, the title character in the campy science fiction series Cleopatra 2525.
Sky was raised in Jensen Beach, Florida. At 15, she was offered two months of summer modeling in Japan. She left for New York City at the age of 17 to study acting under the tutelage of several acclaimed acting coaches, and became well-versed in the Meisner technique of acting. She has a sister Katie. Sky married Alex Band of The Calling on July 25, 2004, but the couple divorced in 2009.
On September 10, 2013, the New York Times published an op-ed from Sky, entitled My Life as a Warrior Princess, in which she compared the terrible working conditions she experienced as a teenage fashion model with the much superior working conditions she experienced as an actor. She described how inspirational she found her work on the show Xena: Warrior Princess.
Sky, Katie and her former sister-in-law, Taryn Band, created the fashion label Vanitas of California.
She has appeared as a regular cast member on such TV shows as General Hospital, Xena: Warrior Princess, Cleopatra 2525, "Fastlane", in CSI: Miami, and in guest roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed and was a regular dancer on the syndicated dance music program Soul Train.
