Shar Jackson was born on August 31, 1976. Her family background is a diverse blend of cultures: her maternal heritage includes Native American and African American roots, while her paternal side traces back to Puerto Rican, African American, and Mexican ancestry. This multicultural upbringing shaped much of her identity and early interests.
Academically, Jackson pursued a path far different from the entertainment industry. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and later completed a Master’s degree in Forensic Science. Initially, she aspired to become a crime scene investigator. However, after realizing she had a fear of dealing with corpses, she refocused her goals toward acting.
Jackson began her acting career at the age of three when she joined the Al Fann Theatrical Ensemble. While attending private school, she also developed a modeling career through agencies like Barbizon and John Robert Powers. Her acting skills were further honed under the guidance of acting coach Bob Feldman. By age 11, she decided to commit fully to acting, quickly landing roles in national advertisements and guest appearances through her early training with the Al Fann ensemble.
Shar Jackson is best known for her role as Niecy Jackson on the popular UPN television series Moesha. Her portrayal of Moesha’s best friend brought her widespread recognition. She also appeared on The Bernie Mac Show and played a role in the Nickelodeon movie Good Burger, starring Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.
In 2007, Jackson appeared on ABC’s reality series The Ex-Wives Club, alongside Angie Everhart and Marla Maples. The show was designed to help men and women recover from recent breakups or divorces. Her other film credits include roles in I Do... I Did! (2009) and the dance-themed movie Steppin: The Movie.
