The character of Janie in the first Godfather film was played by an established model and aspiring actress named Janet Kobelski, who also used the professional name of Janet Jordan. Janet was born on September 30, 1957 to Polish American parents in Tehran where her father worked in the oil industry. She was a natural beauty with a great smile, blond hair and blue eyes. She grew up in Manhattan and attended St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Grade School on East 65th Street at the time. While very popular and outgoing, she was always modest about her career. Her only indulgence was Chanel No.5. Janet passed away on September 13, 1971 from leukemia, not long after filming her scenes.
