She was born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire on 4 July 1908. Originally an actress, on stage from 1931, she made appearances in the
Aldwych Farces (1930–34) and was involved with entertainment for the armed forces in WW II. She gave up acting in 1945 to focus on writing. Her second husband was the scriptwriter John McCormick, with whom she collaborated on several screenplays. They were both under contract to the
Rank Organisation from 1956 to 1959. They have been described as "three of the finest films in British cinema." Of
Sapphire, the
New York Post wrote in 1959, "Perhaps the screenplay writer, one Janet Green, deserves her own special notice for a picture that is so special." Green died in Beaconsfield on 30 May 1993. ==Filmography==
