Who was Jamie Auld?

Jamie Auld was a rising American actress born on the 9th of April 1995 in the United States of America. Jamie originally hails from Pasadena, a small town in Maryland, United States. The names of her parents are Lisa and David Auld, both of whom are natives of Maryland. Jamie reportedly has one sibling but nothing is known about her or him as we do not know the gender.

Jamie occasionally posts photos of her parents on her Instagram page but revealed almost nothing about them. So, we cannot further trace her family ethnicity and roots. Regardless, records show that the late actress spent most of her childhood and early years in her hometown, Pasadena, and that was where she received her elementary and middle school education.

She was a Graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology

During elementary and middle school, Jamie actively participated in her school’s drama, play, and fashion shows, and that was when and how she developed a passion for acting and fashion. At age 12, she starred alongside Nicole Kidman as an extra in the 2007 movie, The Invasion. Meanwhile, Jamie had also started modeling at a younger age. She worked with some notable brands, such as Walmart and Under Armour.

After middle school, Jamie Auld enrolled at Archbishop Spalding High School, a private Catholic high school located in Severn, Maryland, United States, where she was an honors student. Jamie was always an active and hardworking person in her lifetime, and many people knew her as such. While in high school, she was the president of her school’s fashion club and also was the captain of the cheerleading squad.

Jamie graduated from high school in 2013 and was awarded a scholarship to attend Berkeley College. However, she rejected the offer to pursue her lifelong passion for fashion. She instead enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she studied Fashion Merchandising. Like in high school, Auld was an honors student and graduated from the institute in 2017 Summa Cum Laude.

Jamie worked as a Model and Actress

Following her graduation, Jamie Auld took up several jobs before acting in order to make ends meet. She worked as a sales associate at Victoria’s Secret after high school, and while attending college, she worked as an intern for organizations such as Elle Magazine, Joel Fitzpatrick Design, Isobar, COED Media Group, and CBS. She also worked as a Barista at the Doughnut Plant in New York City.

While at Doughnut Plant, Auld was one day approached by film director Guy Guido who offered her a card. At first, Jamie was skeptical about accepting the card, but she went home to talk to her mother, after which she decided to meet him. This was how Jamie Auld got the role to star in the documentary film Madonna and the Breakfast Club.

However, even though she had the desired looks to star in the movie, she lacked the acting experience. So, during the two-year-long filming process, Auld took acting classes. She also took drumming, guitar, and dialect classes, where she studied past Madonna interviews to better the queen. Her efforts paid off, and her role and performance in the film were admirable and received a lot of positive reception.

After Madonna and the Breakfast Club, Jamie Auld Took a Hiatus From Acting

After her role in Madonna and the Breakfast Club, Jamie Auld took a break from acting and returned to her advertising/modeling career. She got a job to work as an account executive for the advertising company Grey Group. In 2020, she moved to Starpower LLC, where she briefly worked in the same position.

A few months later, she joined the PR firm Ketchum Inc, and there she also worked in a similar position (account executive) at its entertainment and talent department. Meanwhile, Auld granted a couple of interviews following the release of Madonna, and in one of them, she expressed that she still had the desire to continue acting once another opportunity presents itself. However, she never got the chance, as her light was sadly cut short at the young age of 26.

What Happened to Jamie Auld?

Jamie Auld died on the 15th day of January 2022 at the age of 26. Her death was first announced on the official Instagram page (@Madonnaandthebreakfastclub) of the movie where she was the female lead actor, Madonna and the Breakfast Club.

The announcement stated that the post was to let Jamie’s fans know about her demise as they share with grief the news of one of their dearest and most adorable actresses. “She will always be our angel and will live forever in our hearts…” part of the post reads.

The Real Cause of Jamie Auld’s Death

Jamie Auld’s family has not revealed the cause of her death but rather asked for privacy as they mourned her. This lead many people, especially her fans, to come up with a lot of speculation as to what could have killed their favorite actress. For some theories, Jamie could have died as a result of Covid-19 complications. Some quarters speculate that she suffered from mental health issues, while some others tagged her death to drug abuse.

However, in April 2022, a post on the official Facebook page of Madonna and the Breakfast Club revealed that Jamie had died from an eating disorder complication. The late actress had initially revealed that she had Bulmunia from a young age and was expressive about the struggle. As a result, she became an ambassador who helped to raise awareness about the condition. Moreso, she worked with several organizations, such as NEDA, towards this end.
