Janet Jackson
May 16, 1966
Gary, IN
Jaws dropped when Janet Jackson appeared on a 1993 cover of Rolling Stone with a pair of hands covering her breasts, but she created an even bigger stir at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show when Justin Timberlake ripped her bustier off, revealing her nipple on national TV.
The scandal launched a debate about indecency, but it couldn't trump her achievements as an entertainer. The youngest of the nine Jackson offspring, Janet cemented her own place in the world of music outside of her late brother Michael's shadow with albums like Control, Rhythm Nation and The Velvet Rope.
On June 25, 2009, tragedy struck the Jackson family when Janet's legendary brother Michael died after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at 50 years old.
