Janice Power's debut in a major feature film was as Evelyn, the mother of "Miss Brigham" in the Dutcher murder mystery _Bigham City (2001)_. It was one of the film's most challenging roles, as it had relatively few lines but required a wide emotional range as her character reacted to the murder of her daughter. Power, who grew up in El Paso, Texas and has lived in Utah, is also familiar to Latter-day Saint audiences for her role as the wife of Parley P. Pratt in the Church film "How Rare a Possession." She has appeared in other Church videos, and has had guest roles on "Touched by an Angel."
