Full Joy Harmon Biography
| Born in Flushing, New York, Patty Jo Harmon was discovered as a guest on "You Bet Your Life" by Groucho Marx and later invited to work with him on "Tell It To Groucho." The TV exposure parlayed her into forgotten roles in obscure films like Village of the Giants (1965) or top movies like Cool Hand Luke (1967) where she only played a pretty face. With only a handful of television appearances to her name, she made a bigger career as a pin-up girl during the late Sixties to early Seventies before dropping out of sight and settling down near Washington D.C. |

Additional Joy Harmon Biography
Harmon's best-remembered acting roles are as the thirty-foot-tall Merrie in the 1965 movie Village of the Giants (where she captures normal-sized Johnny Crawford and suspends him from her bikini top), and as the car-washing girl "Lucille" in 1967's Cool Hand Luke, with Paul Newman.
Like many actresses of her generation, Harmon retired from Hollywood to marry and raise a family. Later she started her own company, Aunt Joy's Cakes , a bakery located in Burbank, California. She also made the rounds of movie and sci-fi fan conventions, to meet fans and sign autographs. |
