- Actress
Jane Fennell became known to a generation of Australian children on the
children's television program Mr. Squiggle and Friends (1959) as Miss Jane. She grew up in
Sydney, Australia and is the daughter of Australian actor Willie Fennell. She
was the long time companion of veteran Australian actor John Ewart. He was
by her side and became her confidant after a serious car accident ended
her career. She suffered serious facial injuries and it was at this
time that she became particularly close to John whom she had known as
her father's close friend since she was 15. They became engaged in 1992
but postponed the wedding following the death of her father. They
married in a bedside ceremony two years later as John lay dying from
throat cancer. Nine hours after the wedding, Jane was a widow.
