Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is an actress, producer, singer, and choreographer. The youngest of ten children, Janet was born in Gary, Indiana. She gained popularity for working together with her family members on the hit television show The Jacksons back in the ‘70s and since then, she has been successful with her solo career. She received acting credits for programs including Good Times and A New Kind of Family.

With her father as her manager, she was arranged to finally get a recording contract with A&M Records. This was where she released two albums, Janet Jackson and Dream Street. After the second album, Janet chose to end business ties with her family and proceeded to release her third album Control which became a total hit. As the youngest of the very popular Jackson clan, Janet’s reputation may have preceded her, but she has obviously transcended from it and made a fruitful career of her own.
