Biography
Jane was born in 1894 in Morgantown, West Virginia, the daughter of Frank Rane and Elizabeth Bailey. Her father was a researcher and professor at the university there. After a few years there and a stay in Durham, New Hampshire, the family settled in Newton City near Boston when Jane was about 9 years old. She finished her schooling there in about 1912.
Her father was very progressive and brought up his daughters to go to college and be independent minded. Jane graduated with honors from Wellesley College and worked afterwards as a research assistant and administrator.
Osgood and Janet Perkins.
She married James Ripley Osgood Perkins, an upcoming stage and film actor, in 1922 in the "Little Church around the Corner" -- the Church of the Transfiguration in New York City which was strongly associated with the bohemian theatre community. They had one child together, the future Hollywood star, Tony Perkins, in 1932. Her husband died tragically in 1937.
Jane continued to work and helped to run the family business in Newton City: the Boston Gardening Co. She spent time between Boston and Palm Beach, FL where her mother had relocated. Her son's story is well known, and it was Jane who was the 'strong mother' figure alluded to in the parallels made between Tony's role in the movie Pyscho and his real life. Jane died from breast cancer in 1979 in Hyannis, MA.
