Jane March Horwood is Eurasian. Her mother is half-Vietnamese and half-Chinese, and her father is English of Spanish descent.

She was a top teenage fashion model prior to becoming an actress. At age 14, she won a local ‘Become a Model’ contest. At age 15, she began working as a print model using her middle name March, which was named after her birth month.

She was chosen for her innocent look at age 18 for the role of The Young Girl in The Lover, which was the start of her acting career. Her performance led to her being dubbed 'The sinner from Pinner' (Pinner being the staid London suburb where she grew up). Another notable role was Rose in Color of Night for which she received favorable reviews, athough the film itself did not.
