An Egyptian papyrus picture given to me by Janet many years ago now graces the Sedona living room of my youngest child, Angelica Isadora. Janet met Baby Angel, siblings Jess snd Jazz, and father Glenn, when she visited us in 1995, the last time I saw her. RIP dear friend, Janet! Your vibrant spirit lives forever! Shantee Nataraja

I have looked for my friend, Janet Fine, for years. I "found" her today. I last saw her in Albany, California, in June 1995, when my little one was one month old, my middle one celebrated his 7th birthday, and my big one was a happy 9 year-old. Three years later my husband would die, and I lived in shock and survival for several years caring for myself and my three children. Every now and then I would think of Janet, and wanted to be in touch with her. I just never found her until today....

I am shocked and saddened to find these postings.......Janet had been trying to get me to come to India and meet her filmmaker friends (She would always say they loved blondes there....) and stay there and do some films in India, travel with her to Egypt and show me her beloved places, for years. Finally I emailed her to make a concrete plans but didn't hear anything back.....which was completely not like Janet.....I emailed several times and then tried to call her cell more recently which...

Janet and I were very close and best friends in high school. We did very crazy and fun schemes, like Marx Brothers scenarios. We trooped around the city together with her international friends. We continued to be friends through our College years. She came in and out of my life, and I'm very sad she has moved on. Love to all of you, her family, and I won't name you to respect your privacy. I sent a few of you some notes and I hope they arrived. Janet and I did many things together in those...

Shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Janet. We were good friends at Columbia in the 1970's and stayed in touch intermittently over the years until a few years ago. I wanted to find her again and instead found this terrible news too late. I will always remember her full of life, kind, irrepressible, and unorthodox. She will always be a special friend.

The magical Janet Fine...how greatly saddened I am...I am most grateful to have known her.

I met Janet in South America during a student exchange in high school. We climbed around Machu Pichu, explored Buenos Aires and spent a magnificent day boating on the Rio de la Plata. We met several times in NYC the following winter to eat steak and dulce de leche at the Rincon Argentino. We lost touch and now... as you see she was such a presence even then, one of the people I will remember forever. Her spirit remains in each of us.

I am so saddened to learn of the passing of my cousin Janet. I have been blessed with many wonderful memories of visits with her through the years. I only wish that I had a chance to wish her well as she travels along into her next journey.

I met Janet when I was an editor at the Hollywood Reporter. We both liked India and she sent me stories from there (where she had a fun address).

When she came to Los Angeles I told her that a Vedic astrologer said I should wear a gold ring with a yellow saphire on my right index finger. She was wearing such a ring and she silently took it off to give to me. It was too small but a big gesture. I will send her blessings.
