A Post-Michael Guide to the Jackson Family

Janet (Janet Damita Jo Jackson, born May 18, 1966)
The youngest Jackson is the only one who has come close to achieving Michael's solo success. Three of her albums (1986's Control, 1989's Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 and 1993's Janet) went platinum multiple times over. Her forays into acting — from roles on Diff'rent Strokes and Good Times in the '70s and '80s to her movie debut in 1993's Poetic Justice — also proved successful. In 2004, she ignited controversy over her wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl and her secret marriage to now ex-husband Rene Elizondo.
