Jane Singer is a single actress of a certain age who believes her dreams are still worth fighting for. Whether it's navigating auditions, ageism, cocktail parties, crazy day jobs or strange suitors, Jane proves that fortitude is victory by holding fast to her Midwestern values and not letting the nut balls or the cynics win. Yes, Jane overcomes daunting obstacles daily. Hourly. Including herself. Jane Singer: too nice to succeed; too tenacious to give up.

Now What?

Rebecca Klingler is an award-winning actress best known for her cameos in block-buster movies like Copy Cat, Titanic, and LA Confidential, and for her roles on the TV shows Weeds, True Blood, and The Odd Couple, to name a few.

Rebecca’s acting career did not begin with film and television, however. In fact, she came to LA at an age often thought to be too late to break in. But Rebecca, a native of Indiana, had spent her 20’s & 30’s working in repertory and avant guard theatre companies around the country, including San Francisco, where she became a member of the Obie-Award winning, SF Mime Troupe. Working with the Mime Troupe solidified her love of broad comedy and the emotional impact it can induce.

Not until some years after coming to LA, having become frustrated with the lack of work available for women in her age bracket, did Rebecca reignite that love, when she and fellow Univ. of Evansville alums, Nancy Beverly and Neil Wilson created the web series The Calamities of Jane.

Rebecca not only stars in the title role, but she produced it as well. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but shooting it was probably the happiest I’ve ever been,” says Rebecca. “There is nothing like working with an ensemble you love, to tell a story that expresses your own version of the human condition.” The series has won awards at two film festivals so far and has been accepted into the LA Femme International Film Festival.

“Had I taken another path, I’d be looking forward to retiring,” says Klingler. “For better or worse, I feel like I’m just beginning. I choose for better!” Next stop? Season Two!

REBECCA KLINGLER

Nancy Beverly has worked on such hit TV shows as Desperate Housewives and Ghost Whisperer (Big personalities! Long hours!) but much more rewarding for her has been co-writing and co-producing Jane as well as producing her film Shelby’s Vacation, which just finished shooting in the fall of 2016. She’s been a proud member of the play development group Fierce Backbone since 2009 where she polished her drama Handcrafted Healing (which Fierce produced in 2015) and her comedy Community (which made the top 12 of a national playwriting contest). Nancy’s professional life began at Actors Theatre of Louisville where she acted as dramaturg on a number of Humana Festival plays – and had several of her own short plays produced.
