Who would you have cast as Joanna McCoy?

[Green Shirt]

Among those who would have been in their early 20s at the time and had acting credits going back to 1968 . . .

Helen Mirren, Joanna Cassidy, Leigh Taylor-Young, Vonetta McGee.

Jane Seymour (Live and Let Die)
Denise Nichols (Blacula)

Hey, they werent stars, but they were around in the 60s...

 

[smalltalk66]

I could say Pam Grier, too, but Kirk would have jumped all over those titties of hers!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Loved Denise Nichols in Room 222
Seymour might be too young. She was only 17 in 1968.

He would have had to stand in line.

Now she was a very beautiful woman indeed!

Joanna Cassidy would have been perfect!

One of my favorites at the time was Carol Lynley.

Hey - Lucy Arnaz was 18 in 1969! That would keep it in the family.

Carol Lynley might have been a tad too old for the part if we're thinking of an eighteen to twenty two years woman!

She'd have been 27 in '69.
Nia Peeples was 22 when she started on Fame, playing a 16-year-old student.
Charisma Carpenter was 26 when she started on Buffy, playing a 15-year-old high school sophomore!!

 

[johnnybear]

Yes but I thought we were talking about real actresses!

Meet Joanna McCoy (Karen Valentine):

 

[Forbin]

BINGO! Karen Valentine.

^Well, I said that back on page one!

When I was a kid I hoped that my high school teachers would be like Miss Johnson or Miss McIntyre.

^Well, I said that back on page one!

Wow, I missed that. I specifically read every post in the thread to make sure nobody had mentioned her.

I think it would've helped if people posted pictures in addition to mentioning names. The picture I posted of her resembles De Kelley enough that she could pass as his daughter in my opinion.

Yep, it would be closer if she had blue eyes, though.

How about Lesley Anne Warren? She moved into Mission Impossible when Barbara Bain left to do Space 1999. She had a certain perky sass that might have been effective.

Yes, I, too, suggested her back on page one. She would have nailed the part, I'm sure.

I browsed but didn't spot that! But I agree. :-)

Warren was another of my adolescent crushes.

Karen Valentine once played a psycho girlfriend from hell on Starsky and Hutch. But I just couldn't believe it - she was just too damn cute to be a convincing maniac!
