When Glamour Kills You: The Life of a Hollywood Icon
Manage episode 420681627 series 3523320
Joi Lansing was a 1950s Hollywood star and blonde bombshell who had three decades of TV and movie appearances and Vegas singing stardom. Like so many starlets, she sacrificed herself in her quest to be perfect. In the end, this quest for glamour likely killed her when she died of breast cancer at 43. A Body to Die For is a loving remembrance of a talented performer primarily known as a sex symbol. It is written by her loving companion, Alexis Hunter who was called Joi’s sister Rachel to disguise their relationship. It is a compelling look at Joi’s life in Hollywood, the adventures at the height of Tinsel Town, the joys, and the ups and downs. It is also an expose’ of how women were treated by Hollywood and the dangers of body-altering injections and implants women still get today. Tune into this informative episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro when they have a candid discussion about Joi, today’s objectification of women, forbidden love, the dangers of injections, and the endless pursuit of perfection women are still expected to seek.
