Joey Heatherton (b. 1944) was one of the premiere sex symbols of the 1960s. She had her share of troubles in the 70’s but, as put by Gary Brumburgh at Joey’s IMDb bio:
…she is a survivor and Hollywood has always encouraged big comeback stories. If anybody has ever proven to be a certifiable talent deserving of such, it’s Joey Heatherton. She remains, however, a prime example of how devastating and destructive a fickle entertainment business can be.
