Jane Kennedy (born 9 June 1964) is an Australian actress, comedian, radio presenter, and television producer best known for her work with the Working Dog Productions - a tight-knit group of performers responsible for a variety of television and movies.
[edit] Career
She met the other members of the group, which over time included Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch, Santo Cilauro, Tony Martin, Mick Molloy, and Judith Lucy amongst others, whilst working on Melbourne commercial radio on the "D-Generation Breakfast Show". Kennedy was not originally a member of the group, but was the newsreader assigned to work with them during their timeslot. The team quickly made a game of trying to make her laugh while she read the news. After their frequent success in this aim led to Kennedy's sacking, the D-Generation adopted her as a member and she continued to work with them on the radio show. The group stayed together to later write, direct and produce The Late Show, a comedy sketch show, and Frontline, a widely-acclaimed spoof of television current affairs in which Kennedy played an ambitious reporter.
Since the mid-1990s Kennedy has mostly stayed behind the camera as a producer for various Working Dog productions, including their panel talk show The Panel, and the movies The Castle and The Dish.
Kennedy also appeared on the radio program Get This occasionally.
[edit] Personal life
Kennedy was educated at the Genazzano FCJ College, in Kew, an eastern suburb of Melbourne. She and Rob Sitch have been a couple for many years, and have five children. The pair seldom comment about their relationship.[citation needed]
