Janet Jackson talks about joining the 'Fame' TV series in 1984. The TV version of the show "Fame" started out as a movie starring Irene Cara (RIP). Janet's character name on Fame was Cleo Hewitt.
This tv show made me out of every teenager at that time watching wanted to go that school so inspiring 😢❤❤❤ when tv programs were good for the whole world with gems .
Poor Janet, this was when she was being managed by her father and was married to James DeBarge. She didn't want to do the show and her marriage to James was very abusive. You knew that she would take "CONTROL" of her life and career two years later.
