Career
Jane March had become interested in the world of glamour quite early in her life. She became the winner of a local “Become a Model” contest at the age of 14. The renowned modelling agency, Storm Model Management, subsequently offered her a contract, which she accepted. Some of her early works as a model were as a print model. In March 1990, she was featured on the cover of ‘Just Seventeen’ magazine.
French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud saw March’s photograph on the magazine and decided to cast her in his next project, the French-Chinese film ‘The Lover’. The movie was based on the semi-autobiographical 1984 novel by Marguerite Duras and revolves around the forbidden love story between a teenage French girl (March) and a wealthy Chinese man (Tony Leung Ka-fai) in 1929 French Indochina. Upon its release, the film garnered mixed reviews. Roger Ebert of the ‘Chicago Sun-Times’ wrote that while the film managed to get the physical details of the characters just right, there was a distinct lack of imagination there. However, the film was a box-office success.
According to a rumour that circulated when the film was released, the sex scenes between the lead actors were real and not simulated. March later vehemently denied it and blamed Annaud for not actively doing anything to dispel the “disgusting allegation”. Certain sections of the media began calling her “The sinner from Pinner", after the London suburb where she was raised.
In 1994, she shared screen space with Bruce Willis in the romance thriller ‘Color of Night’. March has stated that while she did not like the script of the film, she could not possibly pass up the chance of doing a Bruce Willis film. In 1998, she worked with Casper Van Dien and Steven Waddington in the action adventure ‘Tarzan and the Lost City’, portraying the female protagonist Jane Porter.
In 2000, she made her small screen debut in the season one episode of ‘Relic Hunter’. That year, she played the role of Lidia in the television movie ‘Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula’. She portrayed the goddess Hestia in the 2010 supernatural adventure ‘Clash of the Titans’. Her last cinematic role to date was in ‘Film: The Movie’, a comedy-drama directed by Raffaello Degruttola.
