Love Jane for all she is, what she has accomplished, her strength through heartache, her genuine nature, her compassion and love unconditional.

[@Zoolookuk]

That was really great - I loved the series V as a kid, and especially the character Diana. Wishing Jane love and support for everything she has been through, and for still entertaining us after all these decades.

[@Marthamavers232]

What a great interview. Loved V, and have been a big Jane Badler fan for years. Thanks Craigy B.

[@NikitaDavis-fm4kn]

During the late 80s my BF of the time used to manage a Cafe in Melbourne, and I used to see Jane there on a weekly basis, and we started talking on many occasions, she was one of the most delightful people that I have had the pleasure of meeting, always very friendly and nice, you can always tell how a person is by the way they treat service staff, and she was perfection.

[@uncletaylorify]

I met her two years ago at a convention. I was 47 years old but upon sight of her I was once again a star struck 9 year old watching V 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@christopherrobin361]

I would be, too.

[@94Trish]

I loved V as a kid. I recently rewatched the miniseries and the tv series.

[@OH.A.M.]

Wow! So awesome that people still remember this series and the great actors. My second top Sci-Fi series of all time.

[@vincentcushnahan5292]

My First

[@benhudson515]

Brilliant interview, loved seeing Jane Badler.

[@kevinrestall4467]

OMFG. Jane you are truly amazing. I have always loved your incredible presence on the screen. Such passion, charisma, with a little sarcasm at times and sharp comments. Diana was perfect for you. So venomous and evil. I loved it I am so sorry for the losses you had with your family. I dont know how you are anyone would cope. It brought me to tears. I was so moved. You seem so kind, genuine and compassionate which is a complete contrast to Your Diana character. The series V the visitors would not have been the same or as successful without you in it. I would go straight for you. i think you are AWESOME xxx

[@robertwilson33]

Loved V and the fabulous Jane Badler as the deliciously evil Diana.

[@jnnx]

She wasn’t the “Supreme Commander”, (That was John), she was the Science Officer. . .

[@lingstone-vids1923]

She was the mother of human conversion process

[@JusticeOuinn420]

I know exactly what she is saying about sometimes the greiving process might be delayed...my Daddy passed away 2022, I feel so bad that I have not cried like really really break down, I talked to somebody about it and I was told that it does not mean anything terrible just that everyone grieves differently. I get what Jane is saying

[@stanhill2186]

I watched it all back then and now glued to the new series V

[@mig1017]

She was awesome in V. One the the best tv Sci fi villains ever. Like an 80s icon.

[@themoviereviewwarriors939]

Dude I am watching V right now. Purchased all the content on amazon.

[@mig1017]

@@themoviereviewwarriors939 it's brilliant. So poiniant right now. Love the part when the old guy was teaching the kids spraying the poster. Enjoy 😉👍

[@VictoriaRege]

Thank you so much Jane❣️🫶 stay strong.

[@jeremie2020]

I'm so fond of "V" and so fond of Diana. I loved this series so much as a kid, even the theme song was incredible, and the characters were charismatic. I've seen it dozens of times and I'm missing it so bad. I wish a new version (up to the original/ not as crap as the one with Morena Baccarin) was in the pipes. Diana's voice in France was even deeper and had an echo effect (common to all Visitors), it was wicked. Jane Badler's character was the most iconic, she was both a gorgeous femme fatale and an evil monster. Thank you Miss Badler for making this series so special, je vous aime! I'm not forgetting the other actors/actresses who were great as well. I'm feeling so nostalgic now... ;( PS: I'm sorry for Jane Badler' son...life's so unfair sometimes. May he rest in peace.

[@Stansman63]

Jane was due to attend a convention here in Australia a few years ago..I was so excited at having the chance to meet Diana herself but sadly she pulled out.

[@drkmagneto]

Such a great interview! Been a big fan of “V” and Jane for a long time! Incredible woman!

[@Laylo314]

Back in the day I used to stay glued to this

[@charlesrey157]

AMAZING INTERWIEW i love you jane

[@HarryCallahan-tf3qr]

I remember this on TV in the UK in 1985 when I was 11 I absolutely loved it ❤️

[@stanhill2186]

The Old Queen Diana looks so so good today on the new V series!!! WOW

[@jeremie2020]

Which new V series? Is there a new one?

[@mikeypatterson7966]

Jane Badler is a ultimate gay icon and I just adore her. I was only a little kid in the 80s and remember being obsessed with her in the V series. I’ve dealt with lost and grief so I can relate, peace be with everyone we all go through it, but in the human spirit, we are strong, and we are all together, “one love “.peace be with you all.

[@blacktronpavel]

❤ reactions only. Loved her portrayal. Great series.

[@philllev]

Comes across as totally genuine and a lovely person.

[@NikitaDavis-fm4kn]

She really is.

[@neo87011]

Tbh.....Jane Badler truly made Diana the iconic image of V

[@pieromiofiglio5119]

Yeah.

[@zt1053]

Kind of amazing she never guest starred on Star Trek the next generation or deep space nine

[@soupful]

Isnt mentioned but Jane played in late 80s early 90s REMAKE TV SERIES: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE filmed in Australia.

[@soupful]

Got married to a Queensland Buisnessman, had two sons and lives in Australia. She caught the Aussie accent very well.

[@JohnJackson-u6p]

Jane comes across as a very caring , warm , lovely human being not at all like her alien lizard character Diana (who our late dad liked ) in V 😂❤

[@russwilson4]

Jane Badler=Wow

[@SJHFoto]

I only know her from "V", but it's weird how much of a New York accent she has! Especially if she's been living in Australia for a long time. She must have had a great vocal coach to have a "neutral" accent in "V"

[@theapeman2004]

It's been said, that some tv & movie villains, are portrayed by the nicest people. I loved Jane as the evil Diana in V. She was truly amazing in that role! I do feel sorry for her for the loss of her son Harry. I can't even imagine the heartache & pain she must have gone through to loss her child. My heart went out to her when I heard about his passing.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

I’m so sorry to hear about her son, Harry. To not be able to sleep is torture. My heart goes out to Jane, her family and to Harry. I was a BIG fan of V when I was a kid.

[@babygirlangel77]

After this interview I love Jane even more ❤

[@Hupomone]

Dude, as a 8-10 year old kid even I realized how beautiful Jane Badler was.

[@soupful]

Love Jane's australian accent.

[@soupful]

Look forward to her Memoir - autobiography.

[@ignaciobonilla9694]

Diana.... Saludos desde Ecuador

[@crazyralph6386]

She was my first tv crush.

[@yahnatanlevi6894]

I wonder if they are still doing the v movie trilogy?

[@jorgedangelo3331]

Hola! muy hermosa mujer! excelente actriz y cantante! gracias por compartir!

[@mtjoy747]

Two very good scenes in the original V, THAT scene with Jane's char swallowing a rat/mouse, and the elderly gentlemen telling the kids HOW to spray paint their protest LOL. In my opinion, although the CGI was cleaner/smoother in the sequel the original one had better plot etc. You could've combined V with Alien Nation, really get some good plot episodes going.

[@soupful]

When is Jane's MEMOIR BOOK Coming out ?

[@hopel2098]

Hugs to Jane!

[@j33pfyn4tik6]

Back in 1983 and being a fourteen-year-old boy watching the original series, I spent ALOT of private time "thinking" about this woman. She's still fine and quit the GILF!

[@DynamteKid316]

Earned a sub.+like! Jane Badler is my favourite Actress!❤ Thank you!🙂

[@memoir4you]

Jane still looks fabuluous , sad she's had so much tragedy in her life . A confident & sassy lady for sure , love her !

[@NatasjavdBurg]

Was zo leuk en heel spannend om te volgen was een tienermeisje toen ❤

[@lisaronzoni180]

Mitica, by Lisa, Ricardo and Cry and Lara, Monica, Cristopher ♥️♥️😘

[@SJHFoto]

To this day, I am impressed with the after scene from the hamster being eaten. I mean when she swallowed it, that looks fake, but when it is going down her neck, it still seems baffling how they pulled that off

[@SirChristopherGorton]

I liked her in Mission Impossible as Shannon Reed

[@RexRenart]

I did'nt know there had been a "V" parade. I want to see this.

[@louismatassa8489]

A great sci-fi and powerful series 👽👾👾👾👽👾👽

[@JimmyMooreDrag]

ICONIC DIANA !!!!! My God the real perfect Vilain! V OMG

[@keithforsay4204]

There Was A Movie That Jane Badler Starred (It Was Titled Fine Gold! I Think) Ray Waltson Was In The Movie Too. Jane Had A Few Scenes With Him 1 Of Them They Are Both In A Bank Talking To The Bank Manager. When Ray Waltson Was Talking To The Bank-Manager Jane Was Smiling From Ear To Ear. I Guess She Watched My Favorite Martian! When She Was A Kid. Diana Meets Uncle Martian How Cool Is That Guess Jane Badler Felt The Same Way Too.

[@jamesb821]

What an absolutely charming lady, love her.

[@richardhussey-cq2se]

Jane Badler is so nice in real life. Not at all like the evil Diana! Great actress!

[@captaincrash12]

The bad girl every teenage boy wanted.

[@vincentcushnahan5292]

EVEN NOW ❤

[@heleneb2105]

I still rewatch V. I guess Kenneth Johnson was working on a movie in 2019.

[@StillHilljayne]

Goddess

[@danielgyllenbreider]

One of the iconic girls from the 80´s! Still a beautiful woman!

[@GARY6661967]

Beautiful lady❤❤

[@ricardpuyo]

Jane Badler❤️Ricardo Puyo

[@davidpemberton9326]

I liked all her work

[@Josegarciag82]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@vegasjase]

Love her and adored Harry ❤❤

[@tonybp]

I had the biggest crush on her ❤

[@heleneb2105]

Just love Jane Badler.

[@silikon2]

Diana is one of the greatest scifi villains. She's beautiful but that's not the reason she's a great villain. She's extremely intelligent and clever. Watch the two miniseries... it gradually is the case that Diana is the subject of every situation and conversation whether she's onscreen or not.

[@MrMittens1974]

She still looks gorgeous.

[@SigourneyRulesKinema]

Viva Jane !!

[@BETAMAX19732]

I love jane

[@LuisTrevino-d9b]

I have a crush on this lady.

[@davidcrawford8583]

Beautiful woman.

[@ericpeterson5994]

She needs a redemption arc in star trek as admiral.

[@themoviereviewwarriors939]

Jane Badler was tight.

[@jasonharris644]

❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thearki-vist6050]

CULT CLASSIC V!!!!

[@September2004]

It’s amazing she wasn’t a bigger star. She’s so hot. Same with Faye Grant.

[@abdelM]

i love balder and donovan

[@lynneparsons6161]

Shes still beautiful xx

[@hugoboss5895]

She’s developed an Aussie accent.

[@battlestarmarc]

Original v was awesome.

[@MGrayl-ib5fo]

She's a goddess!

[@andrewreiss2811]

Let me tell you about the GOLDEN RULE! AHAHAHAH AHHHHHHH!!

[@vitomessina3784]

the True only in movie ,serie tv and comics

[@alvinglenn458]

I am an old Fart The funniest bumper sticker I ever saw said "Jane Wyman was right" Yep I think in her life about 1940 to 1949 she was married to a very Famous Red Head that was also a not so famous Actor So she Divorced Him .... who was he ?? ?

[@alvinglenn458]

Also Morena Baccarin was HOT Hot hot but hotter as the Companion (ouu prostitute) in Serenity and Firefly !! !

[@luisesquivel1419]

La mujer con el peinado mas raro

[@paulr75]

Aussies cant do horror movies or indeed any tv like the americans,the accent just doesnt cut it. imitation is the best form of flattery and neighbours must have copied every american tv storyline in history not to mention all the american slang words ever spoken

[@TreforTreforgan]

LILF

[@Pride610]

Hi btw first

[@rimski7265]

V started off as an excellent series while Kenny Johnson was at the helm. Then he left and it turned into an awful, cheap sci-fi soap drama. Sad really

[@chadbrick67]

Wow she's a strong lady.. very sad private life. God bless
