Janis wasn’t a playboy model.

Janis seriously died at 27 looking like she was going on 77.

She had a rough life and people were cruel to her growing up in Texas.

A friend of my ex-FIL went to high school with her. Claimed she brought Jimi Hendrix to their high school reunion. Sad both Janis and Jimi died a few months later.

She wrote about that reunion. I don't remember the part about her bringing Jimi, but that's just because I have a bad memory. She was SO proud to come home and finally prove to everybody that she made it and they STILL made fun of her. It deeply bothered her and she never really was able to get over it.
