Star of NORTHERN EXPOSURE, CLIFFHANGER, STRONG MEDICINE, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, DALLAS, LEAVE IT TO BEAVER and more – the wonderful Janine Turner joins DCS November 21-22, 2026!

October 13, 2026 Dallas Comic Show

It seems almost fitting that her acting career began with DALLAS, but Janine Turner has also starred in countless iconic television shows, including GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE LOVE BOAT, HAPPY DAYS, THE A-TEAM, KNIGHT RIDER, ANOTHER WORLD, QUANTUM LEAP, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, and many more. Her film credits include MONKEY SHINES, STEEL MAGNOLIAS, THE AMBULANCE, CLIFFHANGER, LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, DR. T AND THE WOMEN, THE NIGHT OF THE WHITE PANTS, SOLACE and more. But she is perhaps best known for her lead roles on beloved shows like STRONG MEDICINE and NORTHERN EXPOSURE (alongside fellow DCS guest Barry Corbin!). Janine is also an accomplished author and public speaker, and we’re extremely honored to have her join us for DALLAS COMIC SHOW’s Holiday Special this November 21-22, 2026 at NTX Arena. Let’s be sure to give her a warm and well-deserved welcome!

Meet actress Janine Turner at DALLAS COMIC SHOW November 21-22, 2026!
