Jan Taylor was Miss Australia 1964.
Taylor had three brothers, Paul ; Gerard and Jim. She was educated at Lourdes Hill College and St. Rita's College and in the 1960s worked as a television script assistant in Brisbane.
Early Miss Australia competitions were rather conservative, and Taylor was cleared to compete only after approval from her local priest. Her prizes at Miss Australia 1964 included a £750 dress, a car, and a world tour.
