She appeared in Gary Fleder's "Don't Say a Word," with Michael Douglas, "Rounders," opposite Matt Damon, John Turturro and John Malkovich, Woody Allen’s "Celebrity," with Winona Ryder, Kenneth Branagh and Leonardo DiCaprio, and "House on Haunted Hill," opposite Geoffrey Rush.

Born in Holland, Janssen moved to the United States where she has made her home for the last twelve years. She majored in writing and literature at Columbia University and studied stage craft with Harold Guskin.
