Joan Severance - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

Joan started modeling at 15 to earn money for college. Her aspiration to study veterinarian medicine was dashed when she couldn't afford the tuition money. Entering the "Miss Houston" beauty contest instead, she was spotted and eventually hired by the Elite Modeling Agency, sent to Paris, and the course of her life changed forever. Joan spent four months in Paris and married Elite model Eric Milan who then was 25. Joan and Eric subsequently separated and her divorce was final in 1984 after seven years. In the late 1980s she managed to parlay her success at modeling into an acting career. An independent, uninhibited type, her physical assets helped move Joan forward playing a number of femme fatales in lowbudget murder mysteries and horrors all in various states of undress. Playing bad girls has served Joan well over the years, her supervixens and superheroines, particularly as Roger Corman's Black Scorpion, a particular boost.
