FIRMNESS AND COMFORT

She seems too hyped up for bed, doesn't she? "Firmness + Comfort" sound like "Cock + Vagina." The cameraman drops his equipment at the end and tears off Joey's peach catsuit-negligee. But don't do it on the mattress! At least put a towel down. Joey stripped the sheets after taking some "tips" from the director, but then she got so busy shaking her sexy 70s ass all over the bedroom she forgot to put the sheets in the dryer. And the valium in her martini.

Who was Joey Heatherton? She was cast in the title role of Lolita but her father pulled her out, thinking she might get typecast as a sex kitten. Whew! Glad that didn't happen. She did variety show skits with the likes of Paul Lynde (a special fave here at Peephole) on The Dean Martin Show, was the Serta mattress spokeslut, played Xaviera Hollander in The Happy Hooker Goes to Washington, and then-- obscurity. She reappeared briefly in '97 (at the age of 53) to pose for Playboy. Nope! No typecasting there.
