A Porsche statement said the run 'passed without incident'. 'I am very proud to have been behind the wheel the first time our Formula E racing car was driven,' said Jani.

Can! Jani: Kanjani Eight's Great Plan to Save the Planet Earth (Can!ジャニ：関ジャニ∞の地球救出大作戦, Kan! Jani: Kanjani Eito no Chikyū Kyūshutsu Dai sakusen) was a Japanese TV variety that aired every Saturday on TV Asahi. The show ran from October 4, 2008^[1] to September 26, 2009 for a total of 49 episodes.^[2] It had suffered from frequent time changes before settling for the 3:00pm time slot. The show was created after the high success of their two previous television specials that aired on TV Asahi, Dadaiyaman and Dadaiyaman Z. Its slogan first was, ' For the world's sake, for the people's sake! '^[3] but it changed to ' Can We Do It? Yes We Can! ', a play on the show's title as well as on Barack Obama's campaign slogan after he had won the U.S. presidential election (Episode 10).

Can! Jani, as it is commonly referred to, is a show in which Kanjani Eight were given assignments from Command Can to help better assist and save the planet earth. Each assignment, given to the show by its viewers, ranged from hiking in the woods to downtown Tokyo apartment guides. At the end of each episode Command Can would then give his score to the unit he sent out to complete the task, which, usually depending on the circumstances, always was a decent score.

The majority of the episodes opened up with a conversation between Command Can and Kanjani8. Command Can was an animated puppet on the show designed to look like a yellow can wearing a blue hat. He was extremely sarcastic, always taking the opportunity to berate the members of Kanjani8 and thoroughly embarrass them on TV. During the first half of the show, You Yokoyama would bicker with the character almost every week—Usually trying to one up the can which would always then backfire on him.

Mary Janice Rule (August 15, 1931 – October 17, 2003) was an American actress 'at her most convincing playing embittered, neurotic socialites'.^[1]

Acting career[edit]

Janice Rule was born in Norwood, Ohio, to parents of Irish origin.^[2] Her father was a dealer in industrial diamonds.^[3]

She began dancing at the Chez Paree nightclub at age 15, which paid for ballet lessons,^[2] and was a dancer in the 1949 Broadway production of Miss Liberty.^[1] Rule also studied acting at the Chicago Professional School.^[3]

She was pictured on the cover of Life magazine on January 8, 1951 as being someone to watch in the entertainment industry.^[4] Given a contract by Warner Bros., her first credited screen role was as Virginia in Goodbye, My Fancy (1951), which featured Joan Crawford in the lead. The established star belittled the younger woman, making Rule's work on the film difficult, although Crawford years later wrote a letter of apology to Rule for treating her badly on this film.^[1][5] Rule's Warner contract was allowed to lapse after only two films.^[6] She was troubled by the attitude toward women's beauty at the studios in the early 1950s: 'Because I was afraid of being robbed of my individuality, I fought with the makeup people, the hairdressers, and I didn't understand problems of the publicity department,' she was reported as saying in 1957.^[7]

Rule was in the original 1953 Broadway cast of William Inge's Picnic (in the role of Madge Owens, the innocent beauty, played by Kim Novak in the film version),^[6] whose company also included Paul Newman in his Broadway debut. This commitment led her to turn down the role ultimately played by Eva Marie Saint in On the Waterfront (1954). 'I knew I couldn't shoot in a movie all day and work on a stage at night and do my best in both,' she was quoted as saying by Hedda Hopper of the Los Angeles Times in 1966.^[7] Among her other Broadway shows were The Flowering Peach, The Happiest Girl in the World and Michael V. Gazzo's Night Circus, a 1958 production which lasted for only a week,^[8] but introduced Rule to Ben Gazzara, who became her third husband.^[6]

Her other films in the 1950s included A Woman's Devotion (1956), the Western Gun for a Coward (1957) and Bell, Book and Candle (1958), in which she played the fiancée who loses publisher 'Shep' Henderson (James Stewart) to the spell-casting witch Gillian Holroyd (Kim Novak). On television, she appeared in the Checkmate episode 'The Mask of Vengeance' (1960), where she played Elena Nardos, the roommate of Cloris Leachman's character, Marilyn Parker. She was also in The Twilight Zone episode 'Nightmare as a Child.' She appeared as different characters in three episodes of Route 66. She acted as both Barbara Webb and Barbara Wells with David Janssen in two episodes of The Fugitive entitled 'Wife Killer' and 'The Walls of Night'. She also had a major role as Nancy Reade in 'Three Bells to Perdido', the debut episode of the Richard Boone western Have Gun – Will Travel. Rule also starred, second billing to Yul Brynner, in the 1964 film western tale Invitation to a Gunfighter.

Among her later film roles were Emily Stewart in The Chase (1966), Sheila Sommers in The Ambushers (where she was amusingly undressed by way of a villain's magnetic gun), Burt Lancaster's bitter ex-lover in The Swimmer (1968), Willie in Robert Altman's 3 Women (1977), journalist Kate Newman in Costa Gavras' political thriller Missing (1982), and Kevin Costner's mother in American Flyers (1985).

Personal life[edit]

Rule had a brief engagement to Farley Granger in 1956. They had appeared in the Broadway play The Carefree Tree in 1955. Next followed a relationship with Ralph Meeker; Meeker had played Hal in Picnic.

Rule was briefly married, during 1955, to television and film writer N. Richard Nash. Her second marriage was to television and film writer Robert Thom in 1956;^[9] they had one daughter, Kate Thom, before divorcing in 1961.^[10] Her last marriage was to actor Ben Gazzara in 1961, having one daughter, Elizabeth Gazzara, together before their divorce in 1982.

During the 1960s she became interested in psychoanalysis. She began her formal studies in 1973, specializing in treating her fellow actors,^[2] and received her PhD 10 years later from the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute in Los Angeles. She practiced in New York and Los Angeles, and continued to act occasionally until her death from a cerebral hemorrhage in 2003. She was cremated after her death.^[11]

She was survived by her daughters, Kate Thom Fitzgerald and film editor Elizabeth Gazzara, both of Brooklyn;^[12] her sisters, Kathleen Rule of Oceano, California; Ann Nader of San Marcos, California; and Emily Forbes of Las Cruces, New Mexico; and her brother Ralph of Mallorca, Spain.
