The show quickly became a hit, and Jane's portrayal of the iconic villain, Diana, made her a fan favorite

The cunning and temping actress continued to work in television throughout the 80s and 90s, making a name for herself.

Jane appeared in shows such as "Falcon Crest" and a TV adaptation of "Mission: Impossible." In 2011, she reprised her role as Diana in the reboot of "V" on ABC, solidifying her status as a sci-fi icon.

Despite her successful career, Jane's personal life has been marked by tragedy. She has been married to her husband, Stephen Hains, for over 30 years, and the couple share two boys. Unfortunately, one of their sons passed away at 27, a loss that has deeply affected their family.

Why Did Jane Badler's Son Die at 27?

Jane's son, Harry Hains, died on January 7, 2020. He was an Australian actor, singer, and model who had the world at his feet. However, he struggled with a sleeping disorder that started as a child.

Harry's condition led to his artistic talent, and he used poetry as a coping mechanism. It helped him deal with some of his struggles, and he also sought medical attention. Sadly, his life was cut short by a battle he faced for years, and the shocking ordeal left his family reeling.

Jane announced her son's death on Instagram in a heartbreaking post expressing how she will miss him every day. She shared:

"He was 27 and had the world at his feet. But sadly, he struggled with mental illness and addiction. A brilliant spark shone bright too short a time."

In addition to honoring her late son's legacy, Jane is thankful for her husband's support during this difficult time. In an interview, Jane expressed gratitude for her husband's love throughout their son's struggles and after his passing.

She described how they had been a strong support system for each other and how they coped with their grief together.

Jane honored her son's memory posthumously, releasing his music and other creative works. The proud mother revealed that Harry created "some beautiful bodies of work" before he died, and she wanted to share it to honor him.

"He was ahead of his time. He was incredibly charismatic. All of the people that came into his orbit were touched and moved by him and could live their own lives more fearlessly," the mother noted.

Jane believed her son's artistic vision was extraordinary and felt compelled to give it to the world. In doing so, she hoped to inspire others and keep her son's memory alive.

Jane Badler Shares Photos from New Life after Son's Death

In a recent Instagram post, Jane shared photos of her new life, showing off her bright red lipstick and floral dress. She looked different, exuding joy despite the tragic loss of her son.

Jane talked about her recent trip to Los Angeles for a film festival. The film she produced, "Trim Season," was featured and received excellent reviews. She expressed her gratitude for being included in the festival and acknowledged the importance of the event.

Jane is throwing herself into her work and finding solace in the creative process. She has several upcoming projects in the works and has found a way to honor her son's legacy while moving forward with her life and career.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jane expressed her excitement and happiness to return to the "V" series. When she heard about the show's revival, she immediately considered reprising her old evil character, Diana.

However, her agent was skeptical about the producers' interest in her, so she called the producer and expressed interest in returning to the show in 2009.

Jane later confirmed that she would be in all the new series' episodes. When asked about the reboot's airing in Australia, she said it would air there, and it did from 2009 until 2011. Still, she had "mixed feelings" about doing publicity for it because it felt like "wheeling out the old."

Jane was focused on her music career and hadn't been interested in doing "V" conventions or being associated with the Diana character again. But once she got involved in the series, she was happy to promote it.

More recently, Jane shared a photo of herself standing in front of kayaks with a beautiful lake and mountains in the background.

She looked happy and confident, wearing a casual outfit and a big smile. In the caption of the Instagram post, she revealed that she grew up in New York and never went camping or did outdoor adventures.

Jane chose to face her fears and joined a kayaking trip with ten boats on Lake Wakatipu to Pigeon Island, hiked through the bush, and returned.

She described it as "a perfect day with sunny skies, a calm lake, and lots of laughter." Jane also shared that being in New Zealand was an extraordinary gift for her and expressed her gratitude for sharing the boat with her "fearless warrior," husband Stephen.

In another post, the actress was seen dancing and enjoying life. The clip garnered countless replies from fans, with one telling her they "loved that dance," another adding, "Well, that is fantastic," and someone else noting they loved Jane and her positivity.
