Jeanne made her television debut on Network Ten's The Mike Walsh Show (1969) in September 1974. Invited on as a guest, she quickly became a regular, moving with the "Walsh Show" to Channel Nine, where as part of the team, she wowed and won audiences for the next 15 years. She was a guest on The Ray Martin Show (2001) and her appearance on the BBC's Michael Parkinson's Greatest Entertainers (2007) so startled London critics she had the London Evening News saying: "What a woman! With her in the house, you wouldn't want a TV". Among the overseas guests she has appeared with are Phyllis Diller, George Burns and Danny La Rue. In 1976, Jeanne won the Gold Logie for most popular television personality and has won two other Logies for her work on The Mike Walsh Show (1969). She performed at the Royal Command Bicentennial Concert before the Prince and Princess of Wales. Her stage career took off with Jerry's Girls where American director John W. Frost teamed Jeanne with Marcia Hines, Debra Byrne and Judi Connelli. Then came "Legends" with Kerrie Biddell, Toni Lamond and Nancye Hayes at the Sydney Opera House. "Marlene", Jeanne's one woman tribute to Marlene Dietrich, toured Australia and the US to critical acclaim, followed by "More of a Little", currently on tour which is filled with song, chat and hilarity from the inimitable Jeanne. Jeanne is married to interior decorator, Barrie Little. Their daughter, Katie, is 24 and runs her own graphic arts studio.
