Of course, there is only one Joey!

Sloooooow moving and slathered in corn oil. Oooof.

At 77, she's five months older than the now dead Tony Dow another cultural icon who contended with depression and struggled through life after fame.

While Joey, the little minx, got tangled up in cocaine, anorexia and acting out (theft, slaps and a steak knife stab), but whew-wee wasn't she fun!! No really, who cares about the what's behind it, or what she carried with into her adult life as long as all that naughtiness comes through as a hoot!

No surprise, one more time.

Interesting fact, in her years of entertaining the troops, she had an encounter with danger that Hillary could only wish for and embelish.

During a trip to Danang Heatherton barely survived an enemy assault while on stage - she literally had to be carried to a helicopter. She remembers:

We were literally surrounded (by the Vietcong). An aide picked me up… while I was on stage he picked me up and carried me, ran with me to a helicopter. We were taken to a plane and all of a sudden we were in the Philippines. I looked down and I had mud all over my feet and legs.


Married to a guy who plead guilty for exposing his parts to a 10 year old.

Joey Heatherton had millions of followers because of her pouty, sullen, snarly, excruciatingly inviting appeal. However, most of them admit that they no longer recognized their free-spirited and jovial idol after her ex-husband's scandal. The incident changed her character completely."

I hope she found peace in her later years.

Never could see her. She was all pout and so obviously putting it on.

And I was 16 at the time. Senta Berger and Virna Lisi wound my crank.
