 As a native of Sparta, Illinois, population barely 4,000, she was age 21 when famed director, Norman Jewison, and producer, Walter Mirisch, along with their all-star cast and crew, arrived in town to film parts of the classic, In The Heat Of The Night, starring Sir Sidney Poitier, KBE and Rod Steiger. Mrs. Wallace was cast as "Viola," the wife of Jess, the mechanic. 

 Born Jazan Winona Horton on May 19, 1945 to Warren Kenneth Horton of Chicago, IL and Carrie Mae (Madison) St. James of Sparta, she spent her early years with her step-father, David M. St. James, her mother and her big brother, also named Warren Kenneth Horton, in Sparta, Illinois, living amongst her maternal relatives.

She subsequently suffered a massive stroke and passed away on April 24, 1980. She left her husband, Gary Eugene Wallace, Sr., and eight children -- Stuart, 17; Stephanie, 15; Shelli 8; Matthew, 6; Norman, 5; Cari; 4; Leslie, 2; and Gary Eugene, Jr., 6 months -- to mourn her loss and celebrate her life, all at once.
