Janice Rule

Highest Rated: 100% The Swimmer (1968)

Lowest Rated: 20% Doctors' Wives (1971)

Birthday: Aug 15, 1931

Birthplace: Norwood, Ohio, USA

An attractive leading lady who worked constantly during the 1950s and '60s in theater, features and TV, Janice Rule began her career as a nightclub dancer in Chicago and NYC. Her first film was "Goodbye My Fancy" (1951). Perhaps her best screen role was as one of the title characters, a mysterious embittered muralist, in Robert Altman's "3 Women" (1977). By this time, Rule had begun to concentrate on a second career as a psychoanalyst, although she continued to make occasional film and TV appearances through the 1980s.
