Janis Duley
- Actress
Janis Duley was born in South East Missouri as a twin birthed on a kitchen table. There were four sisters and they did a lot of chores and sang while they worked. Father was sick and loved watching and laughing at Red Skelton. This inspired Janis to want to make people laugh. Duley attended School of the Ozarks in the Branson area, before Branson was Branson-today the school is known as College of the Ozarks. That is where she began classes in voice, organ, and harpsichord. She was lucky enough to find a teacher who allowed her to sing Folk songs, which is all she wanted to sing.
Janis continued her studies for her junior year at the University Arkansas but returned to Missouri when she was chosen to be part of the first season of the Tent Theater in Springfield. That was the magic summer and she stayed and earned her BA in theater in Springfield at Missouri State University. She did two more seasons of the Tent Theater as a contracted actress.
She then attended University of Missouri at Kansas City for her masters in Theater. She was in the cast of for the first season of Missouri Repertory Theater.
Duley has appeared on the stage and only recently acted on film.
