Over the years, Janet Gunn has become quite an American success story.
After graduating from Boswell High School in Saginaw, Texas, where she
was a cheerleader for four years and the Homecoming Queen, she has
worked at a variety of jobs, including stints as a car saleswoman, a
personal assistant, 6-1/2 years as a flight attendant with Southwest
Airlines and as one of the world-renowned Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
She has been very involved with gymnastics, both as an athlete and a
coach. Incorporating her gymnastics and dancing talents, Miss Gunn
served as Susan Howard's stunt double on the long-running TV show Dallas (1978).
She also appeared in musicals at Fort Worth's Casa Manana Theater. She
beat out over 200 other actresses to get the role of Kelly Cochran in
the CBS series Dark Justice (1991). Since then, she has starred in movies on the
big screen opposite such actors as Jean-Claude Van Damme, Andrew McCarthy, Christopher Lloyd and
Lisa Zane. After guest-starring in a variety of TV series, she found
herself right where she belonged--in her own show, starring with
Chris Potter in USA Cable's Silk Stalkings (1991).
