Lansing was born to a Mormon family on April 6, 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her film career began in 1948; although most of her early roles were uncredited. She appeared in both big budget films and "b-movies," including Singin' in the Rain, Easter Parade, On the Riviera, Queen of Outer Space, Marriage on the Rocks and A Touch of Evil. As an actress, Lansing was often cast in "blonde bombshell" roles played by contemporaries Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren, and as such, received top billing for her work in Hot Cars in 1956.
She also emerged as an occasional bit player in theater productions in the nascent medium of television. She had roles on The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, I Love Lucy, State Trooper, This Man Dawson, Maverick, Love That Bob, and had a recurring role in The Beverly Hillbillies as Gladys Flatt.
An actors strike in the early 1960s led Lansing to take up singing, and she broke into the nightclub scene soon thereafter. In May 1965, Lansing cut her first record album. It was composed of a collection of songs written especially for her by composer Jimmie Haskel and actress Stella Stevens. At this time, Lansing was tapped to make a series of Scopitones, which were early music videos filmed on 16mm, and viewed in a video jukebox. Inspired by burlesque performances, Lansing's campy and sexy videos for "Web of Love" and "The Silencer" led her to be dubbed the "Queen of Scopitones."
Lansing died at age 44 on August 7, 1972 in Santa Monica, California after a battle with breast cancer.

Joi deserved a full orchestra for that tune. She had a strong voice, and knockout looks !
Charles Henry
The gorgeous Joi Lansing. A feast for the eye and at the same time breaking your heart. Hollywood let her down...big time.

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the jazz chords that Earl and Lester were laying down.
Edward Land
That Gold Lame' dress was perfect for her looks, beauty, personality and voice in that number

They dont make em like that anymore

Sadly, Joi came along a little too late. The bombshell image was fading fast, especially after Marilyn's death.

I saw her on a cartoon made in the forties so I could have swore she was before her
David Organes
The cartoon was 'House of Tomorrow' (1949) directed by Tex Avery. Joi Lansing makes a cameo appearance, of sorts, as a beautiful girl in a bathing suit on a tv set. Joi had small parts in movies as early as 1947, including 'Easter Parade' (1948), but unlike Marilyn Monroe her career never really took off.
Derek Anthony
It's a shame Joi and Jayne Mansfield didn't drop the blonde thing earlier and go into drama with darker hair and different clothes. They both might still be alive. Both women were good actresses both could sing they just got stuck in that persona long after it went out of style.
Timothy Hughes
She would have made a good singer, deep unusual voice --- sultry and nice. Yes, her voice could have carried her but I guess her looks and Hollywood got in the way. At least she did not pose nude. Thinking of Lansing's sad, short life, saddens your heart. Makes you wish you could have been there to try and save her.
