2005 was a busy year.
Check out this rockin’ Texas Magazine. It is classy,
fun and a great read!!
 I
had the great pleasure this summer 2005 starring in Amy Talkington's
"Night of the White  Pants".
Amy is a native Texan and a very talented writer/director
and one that you should keep your eye on. Amy is going to
be a lasting entity in Hollywood! Anne Harrison produced the
movie with superb class and skill. I portrayed the role of
Barbara, an upscale Dallas socialite and the divorcing wife
of Tom Wilkinson's character. Tom Wilkinson is a super talent
and it was an honor to work with him. Francis Fisher also
stars in the movie. What a wonderful person she is! And the
delightful Selma Blair and Nick Stahl also star. This is a
fun movie about a dysfunctional Dallas family. Check it out
in 2006.
 I
also had the pleasure of working on a sweet family movie entitled,
"Miracle Dogs 2". I also filmed this in Texas, lucky me! The
movie, directed by the talented Richard Gabai, is about a
young boy and two miracle dogs that cure people. I portray
the mother of the young boy and I had the fabulous opportunity
to star beside the lovely Leslie Ann Warren and legend Charles
Durning. Check this movie out in 2006!
You must check out Biolustre! It is a terrific
new product that actually restores your hair and protects
it against chemical processes!! I dyed my hair three times
for the commercial. I started as a dyed Brunette then I was
bleached blonde and then my hair was dyed red! I am staying
red - FYI. I love the product. After all those processes my
hair still feels soft and manageable. Try it!
In 1995, Janine returned to her beloved Texas
and started to cultivate her beloved ranch, Mockingbird Hill
(see: Longhorns). Her post Northern Exposure years have taken
her to Vancouver, Dublin, Venice, Toronto and Los Angeles.
 These
travels have been for roles such as June Cleaver in the Universal
film, Leave it to Beaver, movies of the week for CBS, ABC
and TBS (see: Filmography), Robert Altman’s film Dr.
T and the Women (filmed in Texas) and two and a half years
on Lifetime’s, Strong Medicine, produced by Whoopie
Goldberg and Tammy Ader.
 Her
most cherished role of all, however, has been the role of
mommy. Janine’s  greatest
joy in life, her greatest blessing, has been the birth of
her daughter, Juliette, n 1997.` Janine’s devotion is
to her daughter and all of her decisions are what she calls,
“life decisions”, regarding her daughter’s
well-being. Thus, she has made the conscious decision to raise
her daughter in Texas so that Juliette may be near her family
and friends.
 Upon
their return in 2002 from Los Angeles, Janine has home schooled
Juliette on her ranch but her creative fires are still burning.
In 2002, Janine wrote and photographed a children’s
book, (see: Children’s Book). She wrote, produced and
made  her
directorial debut with her short film, Trip in a Summer Dress,
(See: Directorial Debut). She starred in two independent movies,
Birdie and Bogey, a Norris Family film directed by Mike Norris
and No Regrets,
www.noregretsmovie.com, a Curt Hahn film directed by Curt
Hahn co-starring Brad Johnson, Lari White and Robert Merrill,
(See: Current Films.) She just co- wrote her first song with
Nashville’s talented songwriter, singer, musician, producer
Phil Madeira-as she prepares to launch her singing career.(See:Singing/Songwriting)
 She
sang and danced in her church play this past Christmas and
she continues to cultivate her ranch and her passion for Longhorn
cattle. (See: Longhorns) Janine’s main focus is her
daughter and thus her newfound determination is to stay in
Texas and manifest one of her next missions: produce, direct
and act in projects in Texas – even if she has to create
them all herself.
