Before her film debut in "Poetic Justice," Janet Jackson was already a veteran child actor, appearing in the 1970s sitcom "Good Times" as well as "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Fame." It would be seven years between "Poetic Justice" and second film, 2000's "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps," but she has since become a favorite of director Tyler Perry, appearing in his "Why Did I Get Married?" and its sequel as well as his 2010 movie "For Colored Girls."
