Janet Blair

From the time I was a small child, my mother had told me that she and Janet Blair were second cousins. As am adult I did research and learned that my maternal grandfather and Janet Blair's father were first cousins and that made my mother and Janet Blair first cousins. I loved seeing her perform in movies when I was growing up. I now want to purchase many of those movies to have to watch in my retirement. Looking at pictures of her over the years, I can definitely see the Lafferty family...

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

While compiling family information with my son for a scouting "Genealogy" merit badge this weekend, we found our that my grandfather, William Francis Lafferty was Ms. Blair's brother! Something wonderful to celebrate on St. Patrick's Day!

Just discovered our family link with Martha Jane. So sad to discover a new 'relation' months after she passed away. I am finding out more about her and happy to see she was a wonderful talent and person. My great-great grandfather and her dad were brothers. My condolences from all the branch of the Lafferty family in England.

I loved Janet Blair. She was so wonderful in "Tonight & Every Night" which I just viewed again the other night. When Rita Hayworth died, Janet Blair and I shared a car from the church to the grave site and I got to know her a bit on a personal level. She was really a delightful woman and was amused that I remembered that, even as a grown man, I had had paper dolls of her and the Dorsey Brothers published when she did a motion picture with them. A wonderfully talented woman who gave a...
