Biography

Joan Taylor's mother, Amelia Berky, was a vaudeville singing and dancing star in the 1920s. Her father worked as a prop man in Hollywood during the same era, but after Joan was born, the family relocated to Lake Forest, Illinois, where her father managed a movie theater. Joan developed a passion for movies from watching numerous films at her father's theater and graduated from the Chicago National Association of Dancing Masters. In 1946, she moved to Hollywood and enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse. Victor Jory arranged an interview for her with producer Nat Holt, leading to her film debut in the Randolph Scott western Fighting Man of the Plains (1949). Over the next several years, she appeared in many films, mostly westerns, and made numerous TV appearances, including a recurring role on The Rifleman (1958). However, she is best remembered by 1950s audiences for her roles in two sci-fi films: Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) and 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957). After a two-year run on The Rifleman, she chose to retire from acting in 1963.
