246: She Turned a Hostile “What’s Your Problem?!” into a Video Career

As a 20-something Southern model in Manhattan, Janet Arneau practiced her “person-in-the-street” reports in Times Square. Microphone in hand, camera man in tow, she approached total strangers and asked them questions for unseen producers. Quickly, she learned the popular New York greeting: “WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?!” Her career in the entertainment business began at age 5 on the local Romper Room in Charleston, South Carolina. Her acting credits include appearing in 16 films, 40 theatrical productions, television commercials and roles on hit TV programs such as the FX channel’s “RESCUE ME”.
