When actress Kate Charleson made her onscreen debut in 1983's Terms of Endearment, her youthful appearance and knack for subtle characterization made her a perfect fit to play Jeff Daniels' grad student protégée/mistress Janice. Few would have guessed that Charleson was 30 years old when she took on the role, but that fresh face would show up again in the coming years, appearing in 1984's Dreamscape and 1988's My First Love. Tragically, Charleson committed suicide in 1996.
