Joanna Pettet Movies or Tv Shows (upto Sep 2024) - Watch Online

This beautiful, stylish, London-born blonde started out quite promisingly on the stage and in late '60s films before phasing out her career out in the '90s. Joanna Pettet was born Joanna Jane Salmon and raised in Canada. Her father, a British Royal Air Force pilot, was killed in WWII. Her trek to New York to study at the Neighborhood Playhouse paid off with subsequent Broadway roles in "Take Her, She's Mine" (debut: understudy to Elizabeth Ashley), "The Chinese Prime Minister" and "Poor Richard" with Alan Bates, which earned her the Theatre World Award in 1965.A steady role on The Doctors (1963) daytime soap occurred around this time. Escorted to Hollywood, Joanna stood her ground among the other talented hopefuls such as Candice Bergen, Shirley Knight, Jessica Walter and the late Joan Hackett and Elizabeth Hartman in the glossy Ivy-League film soap Die Clique (1966). Continuing on, she proved a diverting love interest in the British thriller Millionen-Raub (1967) and in the French/English co-production Die Nacht der Generale (1967), and was one of the more interesting figures to come out of the elephantine James Bond spoof Casino Royale (1967), in which she played the fetching, exotic-dancing Mata Bond.A versatile player, she was unfortunately cast in roles that emphasized her beauty rather than her talent. Playboy magazine took an interest, and she graced a nude pictorial in 1968, the same year she married actor Alex Cord. A host of bad films, however, such as Inferno am Fluß (1968) and Ein liebenswertes Freudenhaus (1969), put the kibosh on her film career. In the '70s she was prominently featured in standard TV-movies such as The Weekend Nun (1972), Der weite Weg nach Westen (1973), A Cry in the Wilderness (1974), Thriller: A Midsummer Nightmare (1975) (aka "Appointment with a Killer"), Der Preis der Macht (1976), Sex and the Married Woman (1977) and Cannons Comeback (1980). Series work included Wo alle Wege enden (1969) and Harry-O (1973), but nothing led to her stretching her abilities. By the late '70s she was appearing in "has-been" shows like Fantasy Island (1977) and Love Boat (1977). Little seen after that, her career ended in low-budget dreck such as Psycho-Killer (1982), Geliebtes Land (1987) and Terror in Paradise (1990). Since then, Joanna has been out of the scene.Divorced from Cord in 1989, her only child, Damien Zachary Cord, fell into a fatal coma after an acute heroin overdose in 1995 at age 26. She later became the caregiver and companion of her friend, actor Alan Bates, until his death from cancer in 2003. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Gary Brumburgh / gr-home@pacbell.net
