Joan Vohs

Typecast often as a dumb blond, Joan Vohs struggled her entire career to break out of that mold. She did manage partial success, but ultimately dropped out of acting altogether in order to become a full-time mom.

She was born in Queens, New York, was a Rockette at age 16 and a Connover model before any acting for movies or television. Her first several roles were as models, usually of the "dumb blond" ilk.

Occasionally, she landed a more substantive role, e.g. the role as suspected French spy "Fortune Mallory", played opposite George Montgomery in Fort Ti (1953).

After a successful run of guest appearances on the T.V.

sitcom, Family Affair (1966), Vohs retired from acting and devoted herself to raising her own family. IMDb Mini Biography By: Patrick King
