A native of Bournemouth in the UK, Janet Montgomery moved to London when she received a scholarship at a dance school. One of her first acting jobs was a guest star role on the critically-acclaimed UK teen drama series Skins as Nicholas Hoult’s love interest.

Upon moving to Los Angeles, Montgomery was quickly cast in the Dark Castle film, The Hills Run Red.

Sister of actor Jason Montgomery.

I’m optimistic Azure will be topless without her hair in the way if they went ahead with Unrated-Extended BR release and deleted scenes restored. The scene with Azure and Seth seems to be much longer but edited short for WGN airing? Same goes with the oily orgy segment. Slim hope of Un-Cut edition without a solid confirmation from the producers soon.
It’s too early to make any opinions on the show. Some fantastic (and inventive torture) sequences. Ashley Madekwe and Janet are really into it. That’s important. You want the main stars to be involved, passionate even if the script was wobbly at times and some aspect of the story was so ridiculous you have a hard time keeping a straight face or worse, appearing disinterested. I’m still waiting for the plot hook. Maybe I missed it. It seems to revolve around Janet‘s Mary Sibley and her witchy project for town of Salem? But nonetheless I was intrigued by the premise and the sensual tone.
