 Jane's first ambition was to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a concert pianist, but as a teenager she decided she would rather be an actress.This ambition is what led her to be trained at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she continued her piano and singing whilst embarking on a full-time drama course.After graduating, she followed the classic route of repertory theatre, touring, TV, and radio, where she met and eventually married Rod Burton.
