Jessica Madison Jacobs (November 14 1990 – May 10 2008) was an Australian actress and singer. She was known for her roles in children's television series in Australia including The Saddle Club, Fergus McPhail, and Holly's Heroes. Jacobs was also in stage productions, including being alongside Lisa McCune and Bert Newton in The Sound of Music.
In the months before her death, Jacobs had taken a break from acting to focus on school and playing bass in a rock band called The Volten Sins. She was planning to attend the Victorian College of the Arts to study bass guitar after she graduated from high school. Jacobs was a senior at Sandringham College. She is featured on the new "The Saddle Club" sound track and on "Friends Forever" with Janelle Corlass-Brown. In 2003 Jessie and Janelle released a CD single for their song "Trouble" under their characters names Melanie and Ashley.
Death
On May 10, 2008 Jacobs was walking on the platform at Cheltenham railway station when she tripped and fell into the path of an oncoming train. She died instantly. Due to Jacobs carrying a fake ID at the time, it took the police several hours to identify her. She is buried at St Kilda Cemetery in St Kilda,Victoria, Australia.
