Joan Staley - Mainy

A major mainy of mine has always been Joan Staley. Best known as Alma in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, Joan was also a Playboy Playmate (1958) and was in a bunch of movies and TV shows throughout the 1960's. Joan is still alive and well, in her 70's, living in Southern California.

She was in one of my favorite 'Bonanza' comedy episodes, 'The Burma Rarity' and played the Annie Oakley character in the 'Batman' episodes with Cliff Robertson as the cowboy villain, Shame.

But it was in the role of Alma, the world's greatest girlfriend, that I'll always remember her the most.
