The Emmy–nominated star of the classic 1950s sitcom I Married Joan, Joan Davis (1912–1961) was also radio’s highest paid comedienne in the 1940s—and she displayed her unique brand of knockabout comedy in more than forty films. This book provides a complete account of her career, including a filmography with critical commentary, and the most detailed episode logs ever compiled for her radio and television programs. A biographical chapter offers never-before-published information about her family background, marriage to vaudeville comedian Si Wills and relationships with other men, and her tragic early death.
