Joy Patricia Harmon, an actress, born May 1, 1940 in Flushing, New York. A former beauty queen (Miss Connecticut), the 5'5", 41½-22-36 Harmon was a regular on Groucho Marx's television program "Tell It to Groucho" (credited as 'Patty Harmon'), and also guest-starred on several 1960s TV series, including "Gidget", "Batman", and "The Monkees".
Her best-remembered acting roles are as the thirty-foot-tall Merrie in the 1965 movie Village of the Giants (where she captures normal-sized Johnny Crawford and suspends him from her bikini top), and as the car-washing girl in 1967's Cool Hand Luke, with Paul Newman.
Like many actresses of her generation, Harmon retired from Hollywood to marry and raise a family. Later she started her own company, Aunt Joy's Cakes, a bakery located in Burbank, California. She also made the rounds of movie and sci-fi fan conventions, to meet fans and sign autographs.
