Joey Heatherton

Joey Heatherton gets filed away as a 1960s sex symbol, and that label sells her short. She was a genuine triple threat out of Rockville Centre, dancing, singing, and acting her way through the golden age of TV variety. What earns my real respect is the decade-plus she spent on Bob Hope's USO tours, performing for troops far from home. That's not glamour; that's commitment with grit behind the glitter. I tend to admire entertainers who carried their craft somewhere uncomfortable for the sake of other people, and she did exactly that. There's steel under the sparkle, and it deserves remembering.
