She demonstrated her talents for dancing at age three and began professional modeling at seven. Her spiritual life began while visiting a church with her grandmother as a child. As a young girl Janet lived with a serious Asthmatic condition, but she would not be deterred from her ambitions. Later, as a teen, Janet was deeply involved in drama and earned multiple related academic awards.
In 1969, she got her first big “break” when she was selected as one of the original “Gold Diggers” on the Dean Martin show. Thereafter, she appeared in major films, television shows and stage productions for several years. However, being part of this lifestyle Janet felt vaguely empty. She attributes her salvation during this period to her experiences at church with her grandmother.
Janet was married in 1977 and became a mother in 1981. After the birth of her daughter she abandoned her acting career. However, Janet separated from her husband in 1990.
Shortly thereafter, Janet began having serious back pains. She discovered she had gallstones. What should have been a simple procedure, turned into a nightmare? Janet died on the operating table, but was revived. It took nearly six months to recuperate. However, she was overwhelmed with a sense of fear and vulnerability, for which she eventually sought professional help.
During this time Janet reached to God. She visited a local church and discovered ways to turn her personal tragedy into triumph. She began writing her own story and searched for testimonials of others whose lives had been touched by God.
Today, Janet sings with a gospel group and devotes her life to the discovery of the miracles brought to the lives of others, and the telling of those stories.view less
