  Jane Rossington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Rossington (born March 5, 1943 in Derby) is a British actress, best known for her role as Jill Richardson on the soap opera Crossroads.
Jane's sensitive potrayal of Jill helped immesaurably - in the hands of a lesser actress the character would seem simply unsympathetic, pathetic even, yet the public loved Jill, and Jane was the only actress to appear in the programme from the first episode to the last (no. 4510) in April 1988.
Jane Rossington since 1988 has been the main patron of the Crossroads Appreciation Society, and continues to take an active role in the society.

The only undisputed portrait of Jane Austen is a coloured sketch done by Cassandra which resides in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Jane was the mainstay cast member from the original series, clocking up most appearances in any episode over 24 years.
Jane knows Crossroads, and what it is about - and isn't afraid to speak her mind when the production company harms the Crossroads brand.
The whole business of turning the first Sarah Jane into, I thought she was brilliant the first one, I thought she had so much style and charisma and I think they were crazy not to use that.

 Crossroads (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The re-modelled series appeared to be a self-consciously camp parody, with Jane Asher cast as new central character, the glamorous and bitchy Angel Samson.
During this final episode, Angela approaches a female customer in the Supermarket and proclaims that she recognises her as Tracey from the 'TV soap Crossroads' which would suggest that it was only this series that was supposed to be the dream and therefore had no real connection to what had gone before.
However, even this didn't work, as Jane Gurnett's character (Kate) was shown to be one of Angela's colleagues in the supermarket, yet Kate was Tracey Booth's mother-in-law in the 2001-2 series.

 Edinburgh Festivals - The Paper Piano/Whisper Into My Good Ear
By the time they left however, there’s little doubt that soap-star Jane Rossington had wiped all memories of her Crossroads character (a role she played on and off for almost four decades) from their minds.
Rossington plays Lenina, whose drive for success has made her a deeply unpleasant person, with a depth and conviction that makes her much more than a melodramatic caricature.
For Rossington, the role of Lenina is a complete departure from the character she is best known for, and one that allows her to show her full, and impressive range as an actress, believably portraying a 20- year span in the life of an aging, fading star.
