Nancy Juvonen is an American film producer of Finnish heritage who co-owns Flower Films with Drew Barrymore, a well-known Hollywood actress. Even though she had a great career prior to marrying him, and even helped to his career, she is now more known as the wife of comedian, actor, and late-night talk show presenter Jimmy Fallon. She began her career doing a range of odd jobs before landing a job as a producer in Hollywood in the late 1990s and forming a long-term partnership with Barrymore, with whom she founded the production business Flower Films. ‘Never Been Kissed,’ ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ ‘Donnie Darko,’ ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,’ ’50 First Dates,’ ‘Fever Pitch,’ ‘He’s Just Not That Into You,’ and ‘How to Be Single’ are just a few of the box office smashes she has created through the studio, the most of which starred Barrymore. Her desire to connect with the audience, rather than the primary purpose of selling a product, has aided her in forging a personal link with her audience through her films.
Career of Nancy Juvonen
Nancy Juvonen worked a variety of odd jobs after graduating before making her way into the entertainment world. She began her career as a private flight attendant after working at a dude ranch in Wyoming. She moved on to work for an artist who was attempting to end homelessness.
After working as an assistant to Clarence ‘The Big Man’ Clemons, a member of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘E Street Band,’ she got her big break. Her fascination in narrative eventually led her to a career in Hollywood, following in the footsteps of her brother Jim, a writer-producer. She met Drew Barrymore on the set of ‘Mad Love’ in 1993 through her brother and created an instant friendship, which led to the formation of Flower Films in 1995-96.
Nancy Juvonen was particularly interested in portraying characters who lose hope and then find it during the course of the film, thus leaving the audience with a feel-good experience. She did so with the film ‘Never Been Kissed,’ which she co-produced with Barrymore in 1999. It’s a Cinderella story with Drew Barrymore in the starring role, and it was a critical and commercial triumph, catapulting them to stardom. With her cheerful vibrations, she began to feature in periodicals on a regular basis and garnered a sizable fan base.
Personal Experiences of Nancy Juvonen
Nancy Juvonen was born in Marin County, California, on May 18, 1967, to William Harwood Juvonen and Pamela Robin Newell. Her father worked in the aviation industry before becoming a Marine Aviator after graduating from Stanford University. She graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Sociology and Cooperative Education. Jim Juvonen is her brother’s name. In 1971, her parents split. Her mother died in Mill Valley, California, on October 7, 2001.
Nancy Juvonen met her future husband Jimmy Fallon on the set of her produced film ‘Fever Pitch’ in 2005. They began dating in May 2007 after Drew Barrymore, Nancy’s close friend and business partner, invited Fallon, her co-star in the film “Fever Pitch,” to a birthday party she had planned for her. Fallon, who is eight years her junior, proposed to her on the deck of her family’s Wolfeboro house on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire in August of that year with a Neil Lane designed engagement ring.
They married on Necker Island in the Caribbean on December 22, 2007, four months after their engagement. The couple had been trying for five years to conceive a child and had tried every rigorous fertility treatment before opting to use a surrogate to give birth. Winnie Rose (2013) and Frances Cole (2014), their daughters, were both delivered via gestational surrogacy.
Scandals & Controversies
Nancy Juvonen and her husband Jimmy Fallon have been the subject of speculations that they are getting divorced due to Fallon’s frequent drinking and hard-partying ways for a long time. Media stories from 2015 fueled the suspicions, blaming his drinking habits for a terrible accident in which he nearly lost his ring finger. Fallon, who underwent surgery to preserve his finger, hasn’t worn his wedding band since the accident, which some perceived as a convenient explanation. However, the two have been spotted together at award shows and on holidays with their children, thereby debunking the accusations.
