Jane was born on December 31, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. By her teens she was living in New Hampshire, where she entered and won the "Miss New Hampshire" beauty contest. In college, she sang at local clubs on the weekends, and after graduation she began getting work in television commercials. She appeared in three stage plays and on two soap operas before filming the original "V" miniseries. In the mid-eighties, she had a short-lived marriage to architect Michael Rachlin. In 1989 she moved to Australia where she was filming the TV series, "Mission: Impossible". While in Australia she fell in love and re-married. Jane currently lives in Australia with her husband and two sons. Erika also let me know that Jane is now appearing in a series of television commercials for an insurance company in Australia. The commercials feature Chevy Chase and are based around his 'National Lampoon Vacation' movies. Jane plays his wife in the ads.
