My Take
Joan Taylor belongs to a generation of Hollywood that is too easily forgotten. Born in Illinois in 1929 and gone in 2012, she worked through an era of film and television, and what catches my attention is that she is also credited as a screenwriter and director. For a woman of her time to step behind the camera and onto the page took real nerve. Names like hers rarely trend today, but the entertainment we enjoy now sits on foundations that performers like her quietly laid. I think she deserves a moment of genuine respect.
