While visiting a brother living in Los Angeles in the summer of 1946 Jeanette decided to leave the teaching profession in Illinois after three years teaching high school speech and art and answered a blind newspaper ad. She interviewed for an ad agency which led to her subsequent hiring as the secretary to Hilliard Marks, producer of the Jack Benny Show on radio.
Over the years she became a script writer for both the Benny radio and television programs. When Mary Livingstone, Benny's wife and sister of Hilliard Marks, developed a phobia about reading her radio show lines before a live studio audience, Jeanette read them for her. After the reading before the live audience technicians dubbed in Mary's voice which she had taped in private for the Sunday evening CBS broadcasts. The radio audience never heard Jeanette's voice.
Later when the radio show ceased and the Jack Benny Program became a weekly televised comedy show, Jeanette occasionally was called upon for small parts, i.e., unseen voice on a telephone call, receptionist, doctor's assistant, etc. She became a member of the Screen Actors Guild and is credited with nineteen appearances. When the programs with her appearing became summer reruns she received a $22 residual for each program rebroadcast.
