Fun fact, she had 2 toes chopped off in a freak accident as a child

We’re thrilled for you, OP

OP, are you Larry King reincarnated?

Next, you should look up Carol Lynley.

by Anonymousreply 3March 29, 2022 9:26 PM

Carol Lynley I know as Nonnie of course.

She married a pedophile.

Joey Heatherton was or is an unwholesome beast.

This is her ex-husband Lance Rentzel. He wrote a self-serving memoir that barely mentioned his young victims and straight men are still slobbering over. This repulsive excuse for a man is still alive, unrepentant.

Lola Falana was the Blatino Joey Heatherton. You will love her, too.

I always thought her father had probably sexually abused her. Just something about her presentation. Overtly sexy, but nothing underneath.

Joey's greatest performance. "I guess you want your passport updated.....HUH?"

She has all her toes in photos.

She started out so cute and wholesome, then became a drug addicted mess.

I'm surprised she's still alive.

Lance and Joey in better days.

I wish I could find the clip of Joey Heatherton singing “Eli’s Comin’” dressed in an all-white Indian Princess outfit with feathers.

This was my introduction to Joey Heatherton back in the late 1960s.

As a kid during the 60's, I remember JH was on EVERY variety show that I can think of, and she was really a one trick pony. She's perform some popular song while go-go dancing in a mini dress and white go-go boots.

I remember her cameo in a Johnny Depp film (Cry Baby) in the 90's. She played a crazed religious mother of one of Cry Baby's gang members:

I know! It also enraged me — why couldn’t she put out oil rig fires or perform cataract surgery?

So this made me wonder how she could be such a good dancer. I looked it up and our unlikely allies, the straight foot fetishist world, came through!

It’s false.

That’s our Joey!

[Quote] On August 30, 1986, Heatherton was arrested for assault in Hillcrest, Rockland County, New York, after she stabbed Jerry Fisher, her former boyfriend and ex-manager, in the hand with a steak knife during an argument. Fisher was later treated at a local hospital and released. After her arrest, Heatherton told police who she was, but they did not believe her. She then handed one of the officers her purse to verify her identity. While looking through it, the officer found a foil packet with less than a gram of cocaine. Heatherton was charged with assault and misdemeanor drug possession. In October 1987, a court ruled that the search was unconstitutional as Heatherton was not advised that she could refuse a purse search. As a result, the misdemeanor drug possession was dropped. Jerry Fisher later dropped the charge of assault against Heatherton.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???

You’re about to be very sorry, mister. Here, my ID is in this sequined purse. Please ignore the drugs, thank you.

Fun fact, she had two cameltoes, one in the front and one in the back!

R19 She also had one of those summer replacement variety shows with her father called "Joey and Dad."

John Waters wrote that Joey wouldn't put her purse down, even during takes. They finally convinced her to hand it to someone out of frame while she said her lines and hand it right back when the scene ended.

Polly Bergen chastised him for working with a person who was clearly unwell.

R30 I'm sure Joey had a ton of coke in her purse that she didn't want people to find.

She looked absolutely horrible in "Crybaby." Her addiction ruined her looks.

R29: I would give anything to see that 'Sherman Hemsley and Pat Paulson performs Monty Python's Parrot Sketch verbatim' trainwreck.

Check out the absolute campfest that is WHERE LOVE HAS GONE, a barely fictionalized version of the Lana Turner-Johnny Stompanto murder scandal, with Susan Hayward subbing for Turner and Heatherton as the daughter. Plus Bette Davis as Hayward's snooty bitch mother.

However bad Ann-Margret was as an actress in the 60s, she's fucking Streep compared to Joey.
