All that can presently (May 2025) be gleaned about Janet Bodwell from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on 4 works published between 1925 and 1927. Her portrait on the left is taken from I Was a Fool to Be Fooling With You (1925) music by Louis E. Zoeller, co-author Janet Bodwell, and published by Zoeller Music Company, New York, USA. The sheet music cover bills her as "The World's Smallest Prima Donna"
She also co-authored Three Cheers for General Dawson (1923) together with Louis E. Zoeller.
