Jeanne Tripplehorn was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA.
She developed an interest in performing through her father, guitarist Tom Tripplehorn, who at one time recorded with the pop group Gary Lewis & The Playboys.
Graduating from Edison High School, she began her career as a local radio and TV host.

Reaching into her versatile bag of tricks, she went on to play everything from a lesbian gangster in Mike Figgis' experimental film Timecode to a love interest of left-wing activist Abbie Hoffman in Steal This Movie.
On stage, she made her Broadway bow in the role of Masha in Anton Chekhov¹s "The Three Sisters" opposite Amy Irving and Lili Taylor. Prior to this, she appeared off-Broadway in John Patrick Shanley's "The Big Funk" in 1990, then co-starred with Val Kilmer in a 1993 production of "Tis a Pity She's a Whore." In 2002, Jeanne was one of a revolving door of guest stars to appear in the Actor's Alley play "The Guys," a tribute to the valiant firefighters of the 9/11 attack.
