Occupation: Actress, Musician Date of Birth: May 16, 1966 Place of Birth: Gary, Ind., USA Sign: Sun in Taurus, Moon in Aries Relations: Brothers: Michael, Tito, Randy, Marlon, Jermaine, Jackie; sisters: Maureen (Rebbie), La Toya; ex-companion: Rene Elizondo; ex-husband: James DeBarge (singer) Education:					Janet Jackson began her show business career as Willona's adopted daughter, Penny, on the sitcom Good Times. Roles in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame followed, and, in the eighties, she finally managed to shed her brother Michael's eerie shadow to become one of the decade's sexiest and most successful singers. Jackson is an active anti-drug proselytizer, perhaps in reaction to her first husband's cocaine problems. She teamed up with Michael to produce a hit single, "Scream," and a strangely fascinating video for his greatest-hits album, History. Oddly, she showed up for the 1995 MTV Video Awards wearing a shirt that read "Pervert 2," which, in light of the allegations that were leveled against her brother at the time, has to make you wonder. In 1996, Jackson signed a record $70-million, five-album deal with Virgin Records.
