Janit Baldwin

Janit Baldwin had a fleeting, but still memorable and impressive ten year career as an actress. Born in 1953 and raised by her actress mother Dona Baldwin in Kansas City, the diminutive blue-eyed and auburn-haired Janit made her film debut in Michael Ritchie's "Prime Cut" (1972). Among her most notable movie parts are Claudia Jennings' sweet younger sister in the exciting redneck drive-in exploitation classic "'Gatorbait" (1973), a groupie in Brian De Palma's delightfully delirious horror rock satire "The Phantom of the Paradise" (1974), a hardened juvenile delinquent in the shocking made-for-TV teenage girls-in-prison feature "Born Innocent" (1974), and Piper Laurie's mute daughter who becomes possessed by the vengeful spirit of a vicious gangster in Curtis Harrington's immensely enjoyable horror outing "Ruby" (1977).

I suppose Janit is most fondly remembered as the "other white slavery victim" with Sissy Spacek in Prime Cut. Most of her nude scenes in that were with Sissy. Janit's big scene has her holding a handful of nickels (you have to see the movie to get the significance of the coins).

Today Janit a successful fashion designer of leather handbags and lady's accessories.
