Watching Joanna now in episode 3, season 1 of “Night Gallery.” I wondered what had happend to her. I hope she is well. So sorry to hear about her son. She is a very pretty lady, and I imagine she is is still pretty in her senior years.
I watched Pioneer Woman today. Didn’t know Joanna was playing in it. I always thought she was/is a beautiful lady. I
It’s sad to not see her now. I imagine she’s ok but she has endured some very tough times in her life. It would be nice to hear she met and nice person to share her life with. We all get old with me at 72 and I so my looks are going away. I hope she just accepts how she looks now because people who liked her and recognized her situation would just enjoy seeing how she’s doing and if she still can show her pretty smile. It’s funny how you can feel for someone you don’t know but I truly hope with time she was able to truly enjoy life and feel safe, happy and can still laugh about fun times in her past. Nice lady!
I loved her in the movie “the evil” with Andrew Prine and Richard Crenna
just saw her in an episode of “Mannix.” She was quite good and very attractive…
