Early life

Jane Godley is the youngest of four children born to Annie and Jim Currie. She was born on Kenmore Street in Shettleston, a district in Glasgow's East End, and attended Eastbank Academy. Godley left school at 16 with no qualifications despite living in poverty, which was rampant in the East End at the time. Her parents were alcoholics, and her mother was also addicted to tranquilizers.

Godley and her sister, Ann Crawford, were sexually assaulted by their maternal uncle, David Percy. Percy, who was 12 years older than Godley, molested her and her sister for a number of years throughout their childhoods. Percy was charged with the crimes in 1993, but was later found guilty and sentenced to two years in jail in 1996.

In 1980, Godley married Sean Storrie at the age of 19. Storrie, who has Asperger's syndrome, was born in a Glasgow gangster family. Ashley Storrie (born 1986), a boy with autism spectrum disorder, is a stand-up comedian and BBC Radio Scotland host. During the 1980s and 1990s, Godley and her husband and his family owned a public house in Calton, Glasgow.

In 1982, when Godley was 21, her mother died after drowning in the River Clyde. She believes her mother was killed by her enraged boyfriend. Despite calls for an investigation by her relatives, Annie Currie's death was never investigated by police.

Mij Currie's brother died of a heroin-related disease on December 31.

Career

In 1994, Godley began her acting career. Godley said to her husband: "I don't want to be Janey Storrie any more because your family let me down, and I don't want to be Janey Currie because my family let me down." I'm going to use my middle name and legally become Janey Godley. The Godleys are the only family that haven't told me down because I don't know them." In 1995, Janey Godley Storrie changed her name from Janey Godley Storrie to Janey Godley.

In 2002, she received an award for "Best Show Concept" at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, as well as the 2006 "Spirit of the Festival."
