Jane Badler brings her devilish show to Sydney and Melbourne

Sat 15 Nov – Sydney, Vanguard
Thu 11 Dec – Melbourne, Spiegeltent

This weekend, Sat November 15th ‘The Devil has my Double’ an album by Hollywood glamour icon Jane Badler has its Sydney launch at the Vanguard. The album is a compulsive mix of fame, sex and solitude set to a soundtrack of sweeping cold soul and synthetics. ‘The Devil has my Double’ a tale of too much for too long. How a charmed life has its price and eventually it must be paid.

The album lyrically and musically reflects Jane’s remarkable life and career from her initial public notoriety as Miss New Hampshire, competing in the Miss America pageant, to her long and varied career in Hollywood B films and television.

Jane appeared weekly on American television from 1976 to 1989 including roles in the classic daytime soap One life to live, Fantasy Island, the kidnapping seductress of Alex Baldwin’s baby in The Doctors and the on-air adversary of Kim Novak in Falcon’s Crest. Jane is best remembered for her portrayal of sexually charged villain Diana in the cult classic V, (Jane’s was voted one of Science Fictions 25 greatest legends in American TV Guide, August 2004).

Jane Badler began her professional singing career singing at the Playboy Club in Manhattan in the mid seventies, and finally after years of performing releases an album of originals informed by the twists and turns of her curious story.
