It’s Janet Jackson’s Birthday!

Happy birthday to Janet Damita Jo Jackson! That’s Janet, Ms. Jackson, if you’re nasty… 

That’s right, singer/actress Janet Jackson, the tenth and youngest child in the Jackson family, is 57 today!

We first saw her as a young performer in 1976 on the TV series “The Jacksons,” and then fell in love with her on shows like “Diff’rent Strokes” and “Good Times.”

She cemented her status as a pop icon with the release of albums “Control” and “Rhythm Nation 1814” in the 1980s.

Today, she’s a mom to son Eissa, she’s getting ready to go on tour this summer, and she’s still making music!
