About me

Realism and authenticity are my key attributes. I am trained to be instinctive and inhabit any role completely with passion and dedication. Improvisation is an essential skill for me. I am focused, disciplined, punctual and take direction gladly with wide experience in many fields-theatre: films; TV and corporates. I particularly enjoy "edgy" dry humor characters and those with authority, but my portfolio encompasses "sweet older" ladies too! I have 7 IMDb credits. . I am Spotlight registered as Jane Marcon. I Look forward to hearing from you.

I am passionate about acting. I started aged six, playing "Lady Macbeth" to my seven years senior brother;s "Macbeth"! I won the school's acting award for Derbyshire aged thirteen. I continued drama for most of the rest of my life.


I was trained at The Middlesex Hospital London as a state Registered Nurse and at St Thomas; Hospital London as a State Certified Midwife. I then won a position as a flying stewardess with BA (BOAC) in the glory days between removed . since when I worked as a domiciliary midwife in Berkshire. I am married with two adult sons, one of whom has Downs Syndrome. My hobbies include swimming; cross stitch; reading, listening to music and travelling.

Nowadays all I want to do is act. I am currently receiving professional training with Michael Duval at Instinctual Acting.
