Jane Mallett

Jane Mallett, nee Jean Dawson Keenleyside (April 17, 1899 – April 14, 1984) was a Canadian actress. Television producer Jack Humphrey also created a pilot for a television version of Aunt Jane in 1977, but the show was not picked up to series. Mallett also participated in the launch of CBC-TV. In 1976, she was a recipient of ACTRA's John Drainie Award.

Following her death due to emphysema in 1984 (three days before her 85th birthday), she was posthumously celebrated in Toronto by the naming of a theatre in her honour at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. The Jane Mallett Theatre is a 498-seat venue, with a semi-circular thrust stage, used for concerts, theatrical productions and audiovisual presentations.
