Joanna played one of the aliens (Eros or Tanna, I forget which one was
which) in Ed Wood's infamous PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE. She lived that
one down and had a fine career as a writer and TV director. Sorry she's
gone.

I screwed up. It was really late when I posted that, and I apologize
profusely for the error. The PLAN NINE actress I was thinking of was
Joanna Lee, not Joanna Moore.
BTW, Joanna Moore is in the IMdb under the name Joanna Cook Moore. She has
a couple of dozen listed credits.

Short of breath, I guess.
I noticed that she was in a few TV movies every once in awhile so I
assume that she was getting her life back together.

I don't think O'Neal ever married the mother of any of his children.
Hmm,I only remember L T-Y from THE GANG THAT COULDN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT
and SOYLENT GREEN.
Terry Ellsworth
She also played one of the mayors of Rome in PICKET FENCES in the early
'90s. Back around 1970, she was a dependable Hippie Chick in a number of
films.
Thanks for the info about Ryan O'Neal and his wives, BTW.
Isn't there already an older actor named Patrick O'Neal?
With the one-to-a-name rule,this would be awkward.
The elder Patrick O'Neal died some time back, didn't he? That makes his
name available under SAG rules, although his heirs might somehow try to
claim the name still has value to them and so prevents its use by others.
Hmm,so now that Michael Fox is dead,will the younger one drop his J?
The older character actor Patrick O'Neal assumed room temperature
a few years back, if I'm not mistaken.
