Joi Lansing was a contemporary of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. She has been called "the Marilyn Monroe of television." Lansing got her first break when she was spotted by a talent agent who worked with Bob Cummings on the "Love That Bob" TV show. Her recurring role in this weekly program helped her secure roles in other television programs, and in films. Like Monroe she could sing as well as act. Also similar to Marilyn, Joi's film roles regularly accentuate her immense physical beauty. Joi expanded her range by acting in stage productions and performing in nightclubs throughout the United States, and elsewhere. My E-book was written from research I did on Joi's background. It is comprehensive, beginning with her birth and youth in Salt Lake City, Utah. The former Joyce Renee Brown came to California as a teenager, together with her mother. She was a popular pinup cover girl in the late 1940s, before she signed with MGM. Today Joi Lansing is revered as an actress in B-Films like "The Atomic Submarine" and "Hot Cars". Her very photogenic image is reproduced on numerous internet websites dedicated to film, television, and female beauty. I have utilized ancestry records and columns from the LA Times and other newspapers, most of them written during Joi Lansing's lifetime. I believe that readers will come to view her as a more versatile performer, and a woman of ample intelligence, after reading my account of her life.
