Sometimes wooden, but always easy to see, and played her parts well. I, too, remember her from my youth, mostly from 1960 on.

Yes, I'm one of those who first noticed Joi in the "Mrs. Superman" episode of Adventures of Superman you mention. I've sometimes pictured that particular episode playing the the living room as Dad or Older Brother walks by, and they suddenly found themselves interested in Superman like never before. I remember the end of that episode Sgt. Helen O'Hara (Joi's character) saying Superman might not get away so easy if he proposed to her again and Lois Lane warning her that she would have competition. I suspect a lot of those dads and older brothers were thinking "No, she doesn't" and envying Superman's x-ray vision.
I've always thought Joi Lansing should've been up there with Marilyn Monroe and Betty Page as a pin-up icon. That she wasn't, I suspect, is because (1) most of Joi's work was on television, not in the movies and (2) to the best of my knowledge, Joi never did any nude photos. She died far too young. I do remember seeing her obituary when we lost her -- I wasn't quite 19 years old yet! I have some photos that I've collected of her over the years that I may post here in my gallery someday. Thank you for the tribute.

Interesting! I've heard of Joi, but didn't know her story.
As for your drawing, my first thought was to comment, "Lucky duck!"
