Biography

Janet Shaw, a remarkably gifted and accomplished American actress, made her grand entrance into the world on January 23, 1919, in the quaint and charming town of Beatrice, Nebraska, a picturesque location in the United States of America.

Her illustrious and extended acting career, which spanned numerous decades, was marked by a diverse array of film appearances, showcasing her remarkable versatility and talent. Some of her most notable and critically acclaimed film roles include the thought-provoking and suspenseful "Shadow of a Doubt" (1943),the thrilling and suspenseful "Night Monster" (1942),and the timeless and emotive drama "The Old Maid" (1939),each of which left a lasting impact on the world of cinema.

Janet's personal life was characterized by a notable pattern of matrimony, with two marriages standing out as pivotal events in her life story. The first of these marital unions was with David Ashford Stuart, a significant other with whom she shared a profound and enduring romantic connection. This early marriage was marked by a deep sense of affection and devotion, as Janet and David navigated the ups and downs of life together.

Years later, Janet embarked on a new chapter in her life, entering into a second marriage with Willard Garcia Ilefeldt. This union was distinguished by a deep sense of harmony and companionship, as Janet and Willard built a life filled with warmth, happiness, and mutual respect. Throughout their time together, they shared in the joys and challenges of life, forging a bond that was strong, resilient, and true.

Janet Shaw's extraordinary odyssey reached its conclusion on October 15, 2001, in the very same metropolis where she first took her first breath, Beatrice, Nebraska, USA. The sudden loss of this talented individual left a lasting impact on the global cinematic community, as well as a profound sense of gratitude for her invaluable contributions to the world of film.
