Did You Know?
| Trivia | The actual title is "Introducing Janet" wherein the title teenage girl is the lead, and Jim Carrey's standup character is secondary, or perhaps even third compared to the girl's mother, who gets first billing. The title was changed to "Rubberface" upon Jim Carrey's budding fame in the 1980's. See more » |
