Joyce Taylor(I)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Born in Taylorville, Illinois, Joyce Taylor sang in amateur shows at
age ten and turned professional when she was a very grown-up-looking
15, signing on with Mercury Records. She was under contract to
Howard Hughes' RKO in the 1950s
but the eccentric and enigmatic tycoon only allowed her to act in one
picture (a small part in
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956).
After the end of seven frustrating years "bottled up" by Hughes, she
became a regular on the TV sci-fi/adventure series
Men Into Space (1959) and
acted in many other TV shows (as well as a handful of features).
