Ja’net Dubois’ career began in the late 1960s, firstly appearing in the film “A Man Called Adam” (1966), and three years later in the film made for television “J.T” (1969). With the beginning of the next decade, little by little her career began to improve, and she featured in the soap opera “Love of Life” (1970-1972), in the film “Diary of a Mad Housewife” (1970), with Richard Benjamin and Carrie Snodgress in lead roles, “Five on the Black Hand Side” (1973). and “The Blue Knight” (1973), with William Holden and Lee Remick. The following year she was selected for the role of Willona Woods in the TV series “Good Times”, which aired until 1979, increasing her net worth by a large margin, and also boosting her popularity. In the late ’70s she also featured in the film “A Piece of the Action” (1977),

During the 1980s, Ja’net continued to feature in several TV series and films, however, usually in minor roles. Some of the most notable roles include those in films and series such as “The Sophisticated Gents” (1981), “The Tom Swift and Linda Craig Mystery Hour” (1983), and “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” (1988), written and directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans. She was also a cast member of the film “Kids Like These” (1987), which also added to her net worth.

Ja’net transferred the momentum from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, appearing in the film “Waterproof” alongside April Grace and Burt Reynolds, and “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” (2003), with Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, increasing further her net worth. Ja’net has also been recognized as a voice actress, lending her voice to characters from such animated TV series as “The PJs” (1999-2001), and “As Told by Ginger” (2000-2004), which also added to her net worth.

Thanks to her skills, Ja’net has received several prestigious awards, including a Primetime Emmy award in the category Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for her work on animated TV series “The PJs”, among others. Speaking about her personal life, Ja’net Dubois is a single mother of three children; one of them is actress Rani Dubois. Other information about her personal life is kept private from the media.
