Talk:Joey Heatherton

message: I am just curious about Joey.  She is such a cute girl and I loved watching her on TV growing up.  There is like no info about her the past 15 years, except the short tid bit about her with her family at her dad's funeral and walking a bar tab.  Does anyone know where she lives and what she is doing, who is caring for her, etc.  Just curious! :o)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmcd1952@msn.com (talk • contribs) 16:08, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Birth Date discrepancy 

message: Joey Heatheron was one in a Legion of a generation of "also-rans" young and promissing TV actors who never made it big thanks to the culturalal derailments of the 1960s' changing conventions and tastes.  In other words, it just wasn't as cool being a vavacious white gal spit-fire (or Darren McGavin,nor even Doris Day after-awhile[sadly], of other examples,) when you had the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Sidney Portier,and Motown!  Ms. Heatherton also suffered further humiliation in Vegas and TV in the 70s when both Pam Grier, Racqel  Welch, and Lola Falana blew in on the scene.  Maybe she should have opted to have planted herself in Atlantic City when it reopened in 1976.  --65.88.88.40 (talk) 18:57, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Yeah, She Sure Did Have That "Ummmmph"! 

message: Wiki articles have trouble suggesting the true pop culture importance of figures like Joey Heatherton. Celebrity of this kind is itself a version of acting stardom. Heatherton was famous the way Paris Hilton or the Kardashians are now famous. But not as famous. She couldn't be. It was still a print culture and the media she needed was not developed the way it is now. She couldn't become what they have become. In this article she comes off as a minor actress, and that's true enough, but not the whole truth. That's what another commenter here has tried to bring out.  She successfully created a role, in the American media, of a Hippie Era Hollywood "starlet," but the "starlet" role was already passé, and the Paris Hilton role hadn't arrived technologically.  Joey Heatherton was a star, but not a film star; her starring role was as "Joey" in the press and on talk shows. There wasn't even a People Magazine when she was in her prime. She played "Joey" on black and white TV. What she really needed was blogs, You Tube, leaked sex tapes, social media, everything that Hilton and Kardashian manipulated.   That's where she would have played "Joey," her one role. She was quite famous, but could have been as big as the Kardashians, if contemporary technology had existed then.

message: There's a sentence here I'm struggling to parse -  "The main character's final phrase in the Monk episode "Mr. Monk and the Badge" (Season 8, Episode 14) suggested him welcoming to find Joey Heatherthon as a surprise."
Could someone familiar with this re-phrase the sentence to be clearer please? My best guess is that the character in question is pleasantly surprised to encounter Joey Heatherton. I'm going to fix the "Heatherthon" typo now. Dichohecho (talk) 10:57, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

message: This entry assumes that the police accusation that Heatherton’s purse contained cocaine was true. That was never established at trial, as the entry also notes. Unproven accusations of illegal behavior belong in no Wikipedia entry. Nicmart (talk) 12:33, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
