Biography:African American actress "Janet MacLachlan" began appearing in films in 1968, usually in such "relevance"-oriented productions as "Uptight" (1968) and tick...tick...tick (1970). MacLachlan went on to co-star on TV as suburbanite Jackie Bruce in the weekly sitcom Love Thy Neighbor, then was seen in the 1979 TVer "Friends" as Mrs. Jane Summerfield. Her best-known TV role was as caustic housekeeper Polly Swanson in the 1980-81 episodes of Archie Bunker's Place. Janet MacLachlan's 1990s credits include character roles in the theatrical feature "Hearts and Souls" (1993) and the made-for-cable movie "Tuskegee Airmen" (1995). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
