She's an anorexic drunk. Really. Her entire career was trying desperately to be "sexy."

Joey Heatherton was an actress and entertainer who was on a shitload of variety shows in the 60’s and 70’s. It’s hard to say who her equivalent would be today because they just don’t have stars like that anymore, but in her prime, I guess she could be compared to Ann-Margret, Lola Folana, and maybe Raquel Welch. I don’t know if she’s reached icon status, but in her heyday, she was a pretty big deal. Cute blonde actress/singer/ dancer known for her sexy and energetic dancing. In his book, Barry Williams (Greg Brady) described her as, “a white-hot, vaguely slutty looking sex goddess”. Her problems later in life overshadowed her talent, but at her peak, I think she was comparable to Ann-Margret.

She was the mystery guest on What's My Line on the night Dorothy Killgallen died.

she's in a film with Bette Davis called "Where Love Is Gone" and it's based on Lana Turner Johnny Stompanato incident where she blamed her daughter for stabbing him. Joey's playing the daughter and when asked by an interrogator "Describe your home life" she replies "Large, well heated, and unmortgaged."

Joey's imitation of the crude Passport clerk is priceless. When you see her with the mullet, it's easy to believe she spoke like that.

Hmm. Mediocre talent, totally full of herself. Couldn't act for shit. Cheryl Cole. So close, but only good at collecting new surnames.

A twisted, martini-swilling, bad girl Julianne Hough.

I remember her tits in Bluebeard. There were two of them.

I much preferred Catherine O'Hara's Lola Heatherton.
