Mary Janice Rule (born August 15, 1931 in Norwood , Ohio , † October 17, 2003 in New York City ) was an American stage, film and television actress with a later career as a psychoanalyst .

Life

Janice Rule had started dancing in a Chicago nightclub when she was 15 while attending Wheaton & Glenbard High School. She began her artistic career on July 5, 1949 in New York as a dancer in the play Miss Liberty . She then appeared in nightclubs in Chicago and New York for four years, at the same time she was offered smaller, insignificant film roles. She made her debut in front of the camera at the side of fellow debutante Grace Kelly . As early as the beginning of 1953, Janice Rule, who felt robbed of her individuality in Hollywood and also otherwise alienated the film industry of those years, said goodbye to cinema work and returned to New York to take part in the play Picnicto make her debut as a Broadway actress. Until the early 1960s she played a prominent role in other performances of the Theater Mile, including 1954/55 The Flowering Peach , 1955 The Carefree Tree , 1958 The Night Circus and 1961 The Happiest Girl in the World .

Although she continued to film intermittently until the mid-1980s, guest starring in several television series episodes and starring alongside top stars such as James Stewart , Yul Brynner , Richard Widmark , Burt Lancaster, and twice Jack Lemmon , Janice Rule has been dating since then to turn the 1970s to another area of interest. She took courses at the Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago from 1973 and completed her studies in 1983 with a doctorate at the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute in Los Angeles . In the California film metropolis she was named Dr. Janice Rule member and teacher at her alma mater. She also returned sporadically in front of the camera, the last time Janice Rule could be seen in a television production in 1992.

Janice Rule was married a total of three times. After two very brief marriages, her professional colleague Ben Gazzara was her husband for 21 years .
