Janet Gunn, a true American success story, has woven a rich tapestry of experiences over the years. Following her graduation from Boswell High School in Saginaw, Texas, where she reigned as Homecoming Queen and spent four years as a spirited cheerleader, she embarked on a diverse array of careers.
These included stints as a car saleswoman, personal assistant, and flight attendant for Southwest Airlines, where she spent 6.5 years soaring to new heights. Additionally, she donned the iconic uniform of the world-renowned Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, showcasing her impressive gymnastics and dancing skills.
Janet's passion for gymnastics extended beyond her athletic prowess, as she also honed her coaching skills. Her talents in this realm served her well when she doubled as stunt performer for Susan Howard on the beloved television series Dallas, which aired from 1978. She also took to the stage, starring in musical productions at Fort Worth's esteemed Casa Manana Theater.
In a remarkable feat, Janet beat out over 200 actresses to secure the role of Kelly Cochran on the CBS series Dark Justice, which premiered in 1991. Her subsequent film appearances opposite A-list talent such as Jean-Claude Van Damme, Andrew McCarthy, Christopher Lloyd, and Lisa Zane solidified her status as a rising star.
As a versatile performer, Janet's guest-starring roles in various television series ultimately led her to her own show, Silk Stalkings, where she shone alongside Chris Potter on USA Cable from 1991.
