Jasmine Davidoff was born June 21, 1990 in Portland, Oregon to Jewish immigrant parents. She is the only child of loan shark father (of whom she is estranged) and a teacher mother. Her family left Oregon and moved overseas for two years when she was very young. At age four, she and her family returned to the United States settling in Las Vegas, Nevada.Davidoff's first acting job happened fortuitously one day when a local Vegas radio DJ announced a last-minute call for background extras on the set of the 20th Century Fox romantic comedy "What Happens in Vegas" (2008) starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. She called in sick to school, drove down to the Palms Resort & Casino and was handpicked by director Tom Vaughan to recite a line opposite Kutcher. This was her very first paycheck. The experience prompted her to move to Los Angeles at age seventeen.
