Joan Severance was one of the top hotties of the ’80s. She has that amazonian physique that was so damn popular back then (with good reason). After a successful modelling career, both in the States and internationally, Severance made her way to Hollywood where she immediately landed an agent and a manager. Good looks work wonders in that town!
Severance had the looks and the right kind of exposure, but she never quite landed that role that would catapult her to stardom. Oh sure, she was at the top of the game in the modelling world, but in Hollywood she managed to nab a few small roles in big Hollywood movies and a few guest spots on popular TV shows.
It’s not all bad news, Severance continues to have an interesting career with acting credits being added to her IMDB age to this day. It’s not all about reaching absurd levels of fame. Putting in the work to have a long successful career even if you’re never going to win enough Oscars to build a cabinet is its own merit.
Here you can see her in the Gene Wilder and Richard Prior movie See No Evil, Hear No Evil about a blind man and a deaf man who witness a murder. It’s a classic ’80s comedy where Joan Severance gave and outstanding performance as Eve the girl who takes a shower.
Check out the video:
It’s okay, he’s blind. No, wait.. that’s the other one. He’s deaf, which means that he’s totally being a pervy Peeping Tom. Bad Gene Wilder, bad Gene Wilder. Bad.
Oh man, in the late ’90s and early aughts I went through a Gene Wilder phase where I watched every single movie he ever starred in and I must see I developed quite the crush. Had I been in Joan Severance’s shoes I would have been all over that like ham on rye.
Severance modeled nude for Playboy back in 1990 when the magazine was still relevant and although I’m not always a fan of the Playboy aesthetic, I gotta say they knocked this one out of the park. The header picture is particularly astounding.
