Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Alexis Hunter, Author of “JOI LANSING - A BODY TO DIE FOR - A Love Story”
About Harvey's guest:
Today we’re celebrating one of Hollywood’s most popular buxom blonde bombshells of the 50s and 60s: Joi Lansing.
She was often referred to as “the Marilyn Monroe of television”, because of her beauty, sparkling personality, and her musical and comedic talent. She appeared in classic movies including “Easter Parade”, “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Touch of Evil”, “Marriage on the Rocks”, “Queen of Outer Space” and “Bigfoot”. On TV, she appeared in “I Love Lucy”, “The Jack Benny Show”, “Perry Mason”, “Maverick”, and she had recurring roles on “The Bob Cummings Show” and “The Beverly Hillbillies”. And if you’re a fan of the “Superman” TV show, Joi Lansing’s character was the one who beat out Lois Lane, to marry Superman, in the 1958 episode entitled, “Superman’s Wife”. She also had a very successful Las Vegas nightclub act. Miss Lansing tragically succumbed to cancer in 1972 when she was only 43 years old.
Our guest was not only Joi Lansing’s best friend, constant companion and caregiver for the last 3 years of her life – she was her lover. In 2014 she released a poignant and heartbreaking book entitled, “Joi Lansing: A Body to Die For”.
