Janet Jackson on Fame

Janet Jackson talks about how she disliked working on Fame!

Extract From her book "True You"

"While James and I were together, I was cast on "Fame". Though  loved acting and wanted to pursue it, I wasn't excited about this television show, and if it had been left up to me, I would have passed. Joseph, though insisted that I take the role of Cleo Hewitt - so, still the obedient child, I acquiesced. The experience was trying.

I was taking birth control pills and as a result, I ballooned so much that people on the show thought I was pregnant. Once again, producers were telling me that I looked too big, that I needed to be thinner, and that I was presenting the wrong imagine to the public. These years, roughly from ages sixteen to eighteen, were not happy ones for me. 

The kids on "Fame" were not treated well. We had to use public bathrooms in the studio and were given ill equipped dressing rooms that were so tiny we could barely change in them.

Some of the cast members were real jokesters. I'd often open my breakfast case and find the food missing. Someone would take it just to tease me. The kids would blow pot smoke into my dressing room, knowing the smoke gave me a terrible headache. They were already a family. It was like an initiation, a rite of passage, and I was the new kid on the block.

In my heart, all I wanted to work on my relationship with James. But how? I'd be out until 2 A.M.,looking for him on the streets. Then I'd have to be up at four to be on the set by six. I was often late. I think I wanted to get fired. Fortunately, they did let me go. I had a three year contract but was released after the first year."

Cleo Hewitt - Character of the Month

 

Cleo Hewitt is a new student who arrives in "Indian Summer". A little shy, she feels no one is taking any notice of her until Jesse persuades her to show what she's made of.

Straight away she falls in love with Leroy but he doesn't really take her seriously.  Encouraged by Nicole and Holly she is reluctantly persuaded to play games to get Leroy's interest and starts dating Danny to make Leroy jealous. 

The school gives her the opportunity to stage manage for "The Monster that Devoured Las Vegas" as well as perform.

When one of the dancers is injured in "Nothing Personal" Cleo asks to be allowed the opportunity to dance the lead. Lydia reluctantly agrees but a devastating review in the School Paper by Chris Donlon causes Cleo to quit the school and take a part time job at Lou's Lanes. Although it's not long before she recognises her mistake and returns to school.

Cleo is upset when she accidently bumps into Miss Sherwood, landing her in hospital in "Spontaneous Combustion" causing the School to ban singing and dancing in the halls.

At the end of the school year Cleo is upset when her family decide to move to Hollywood and she won't be returning to the School. In "School is Out" she reminisces with Nicole and Jesse about their year at the school.
