Biography

Janet Wright's arrival on this earth occurred in the year 1945, in the United Kingdom, where her earliest moments of existence took place. As her formative years progressed, she found herself growing up amidst the picturesque backdrop of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Being born into a family of theatre actors, Janet's siblings, Anne Wright, John Wright, and Susan Wright, all shared a profound affinity for the performing arts, which would later play a pivotal role in shaping Janet's career trajectory.

Janet's remarkable journey as a performer has been marked by numerous esteemed collaborations, including her work alongside her two sisters, Susan and Anne, in the theatre production of "Les Belles Soeurs". This impressive endeavour is merely the tip of the iceberg, as her impressive repertoire extends far beyond the realm of television and film, with a plethora of theatre projects under her belt.

Janet Wright's life beyond her professional endeavors is characterized by a rich tapestry of personal relationships and family connections. One of the most significant aspects of her personal life is her marriage to Brian Richmond, with whom she has shared a deep and abiding bond. Together, they have raised a talented son, Jacob Richmond, who has gone on to pursue a career as a playwright, showcasing his artistic abilities and creative potential. Additionally, Janet and Brian have also been blessed with a daughter, Celine Richmond, who has undoubtedly brought immense joy and fulfillment to their lives.

As Janet's personal life continued to unfold, she would later marry Bruce Davis, solidifying her commitment to building a life filled with love, companionship, and shared experiences.

However, Janet's life was also marked by tragedy and loss. On December 29, 1991, a devastating house fire claimed the lives of her 44-year-old sister, Susan, as well as their parents, Jack and Ruth. This senseless and heartbreaking event would undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on Janet's life, serving as a poignant reminder of the fragility and unpredictability of life.
