- Has suffered severe allergic reactions resulting in hives that hospitalized her. She had them at age seven, 14 and 21 and has had to use prednisone to control the severe bouts.
- Children with husband Garry Trudeau: Twins Ross and Rachel (born in 1983), and Thomas (born in 1986)
- In 1990 she was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world.
- Her father, Richard, was a milk salesman in Bloomington, IN. Her mother, Mary, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when Jane was only 13. After that, her mother had a series of heart attacks and strokes before her death.
- Attended Indiana University in Bloomington, IN.
- I am bipolar. It was triggered by medications for the treatment of hives. Part of my advocacy is not talking about the stigma. It's real, but it doesn't help move us forward. I take my meds every day. No holidays.
- I'm intrigued by change. The most notable moments in my career have been times of transition, and when I saw an off-ramp, I was inclined to take it whether I knew where I was headed or not.
- Our midlives are lasting longer. What does midlife mean now? It used to be the long glide into retirement, which many of us still look forward to. Unlike previous generations who retired 'from' something, my generation hopes to retire 'to' something. Retirement is a word with new meanings - no longer a door marked EXIT.
