A familiar face on Australian television, Janet's career in the
entertainment industry has not been limited to the small screen. Winner
of two Green Room Awards (Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best

Holy Occasion, Sex Diary of an Infidel, Love Letters, Framework,
Lysistrata, Ticka Tocka Linga and Once a Catholic. Janet's membership

Threepenny Opera, Pax Americana, The Curse of the Werewolf and Never In
My Lifetime, to name but a few. Probably best recognised as the aloof
inmate Reb Keane on the hugely popular Prisoner series, Janet has
