Janine Duvitski, born Christine Janine Drzewicki, (28 June 1952), is a British actress best known for playing Jane Edwards in ''Series/WaitingForGod'' and Pippa Trench in ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave''.

After training at East 15 Acting School, she started her acting career with small roles in dramas on the telly. While looking for an agent, she was approached by Creator/TheBBC to audition for a role as a 13-year-old girl in an episode of ''[=BBC2=] Playhouse''. This was the boost that Duvitski's career needed, and she found more regular work, which helped her get noticed by Creator/MikeLeigh, who cast her in his play ''Abigail's Party''. Duvitski also reprised the role in ''Series/PlayForToday''.

In TheEighties, she joined ''Cowboys'' in its second series, playing brash secretary Muriel Bailey. This was Duvitski's first starring role but wouldn't be her last. At the start of TheNineties, she was cast in her two most well-remembered roles, those being the mousey Jane Edwards in ''Waiting for God'' and the slightly dim Pippa Trench in ''One Foot in the Grave''.

Come the TurnOfTheMillennium, Duvitski played Eve in ''Series/TheWorstWeekOfMyLife'' and Jacqueline Stewart in ''Series/{{Benidorm}}'', the latter role she played for 73 episodes across 11 years. In TheNewTens, she played Mrs. Goadion in ''Series/ThisIsJinsy'' and Peggy in ''Series/BoyMeetsGirl''.

One of her daughters, Ruby Bentall, is also an actress.
