How did we not know this?

If you’re like the rest of the nation, then you’ve probably seen Netflix’s true crime hit, Abducted in Plain Sight. A documentary with the most bizarre and mind-boggling storyline, it follows the story of Jan Broberg, a woman who was abducted twice by a family friend in her early teens.

Telling her story alongside her family, who all had parts to play in the insane events of the 1970s – Abducted in Plain Sight has become one of the most talked about Netflix hits of 2019 so far and if you haven’t watched it yet, it’s pretty wild.

But aside from that and without giving away any spoilers, if you felt like you recognised Jan in the programme, it’s probably because you’ve seen her before.

It turns out that Jan Broberg is actually a famous actress with two major movies alongside a string of TV shows under her belt.

Jan has starred in Manic in 2013 alongside Elijah Wood as well as Iron Man 3 and Netflix’s Girlboss.

Here she is getting saved from a plane in her cameo role…

Mad.

Abducted in Plain Sight is currently available to watch on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
