To begin with, she was raised in a family of three children, by parents Richard and Sue Butala. She was educated at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, and later graduated from California State University, Northridge.

Jenna started her career by turning up in commercials, so her career took off slowly, then appearing in shows and television series, mostly comedies. She landed her first lead role in the sitcom “Townies” (1996), in which she co-starred with the redhead Molly Ringwald and brown-haired Lauren Graham. The following year she debuted as the female lead role in the romantic series “Dharma and Greg” (1997 – 2002). Her performance earned the actress – among other awards – the Golden Globe, while meanwhile also starring in the comedy “Krippendorf’s Tribe” (1998), in which she played alongside Richard Dreyfuss. The success of the series allowed her to appear in the satirical comedy film “Edtv” (1999) co-produced and directed by Ron Howard, but the actress decided to focus on television, and starred in the television film “Obsessed” (2002). Afterwards, she was in the main cast of the sitcom “Courting Alex” (2006) created by Rob Hanning, which was followed by appearances on television in the family drama “Brothers & Sisters” (2007) and the comedy “My Name Is Earl” (2008). What is more, she landed the lead role in “Accidentally on Purpose” (2009 – 2010), in which she played Billie Chase. However, due to low watching ratings the series were cancelled. Following the failure, she participated in episodes of the comedy drama “Shameless” (2012) and “Damages” (2012), and her net worth was still growing.

She returned to the screens of television in early 2013 as a member of the main cast of “1600 Penn”, in which she played the wife of the USA president, played by Bill Pullman, but the series was a critical and commercial failure and was stopped after 13 episodes. The same happened the following year with the series “Growing Up Fisher” (2014), in which she played the wife of a father suffering from blindness, played by J.K. Simmons, as again the NBC cancelled the series after a season. It should be noted that the actress starred in the feature films “The Six Wives of Henry Lefay” (2009), “Love Hurts” (2009), “Friends with Benefits” (2011) and “Big Stone Gap” (2014), and most recently in 2015, Elfman landed a role in the television film “The Perfect Stanleys”.

To conclude, all the above mentioned roles have increased the total size of Jenna Elfman net worth.

Finally, in the personal life of the actress, Elfman has been married to actor Bodhi Elfman since 1995, and they have two sons.
