Born Janet Horsburgh in Lancashire, England, on September 28, 1934, actress Janet Munro was the daughter of stage comedian Alex Munro
who, during World War II, was in charge of the RAF entertainment unit. As a child, Munro sometimes appeared onstage with her father.
After the death of her mother in 1942, Munro's father remarried, and she was raised by a stepmother. Munro trained for the theater in
her teens, and by the age of 20 she was appearing on British television and was voted Miss Television of 1958. Her first marriage was
to British actor Tony Wright, whom she married in 1956. When her career kicked into high gear in 1959 upon signing a five-picture deal
with Walt Disney Productions, she divorced Wright. Munro starred in Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959; with Sean
Connery), Third Man on the Mountain (1959; with Michael Rennie and James MacArthur), Swiss Family Robinson (1960; with
Tommy Kirk and James MacArthur), and The Horsemasters (1961; with Annette
Funicello, Tommy Kirk, and Donald Pleasence).
