The green-eyed, moustachioed star Jillie on the set of the musical film Cats. The dancer and actress played the lead role of Rumpleteazer and Tom somehow managed to meet with her and immediately ask her out on a date. She was initially busy with the stage production of Cats but as soon as her contract for the musical ended, she was able to spend more time with Selleck whom she was dating already.

Jean left London and went along with Tom to be with him in Hawaii at the time.
