Fantastic Femmes--Joan Severance

Yet another model turned actress, Joan managed to go from doing high-profile national advertising campaigns to a critically-acclaimed recurring role as a villainess on the WiseGuy tv series within six months after changing careers!
Her credits since are mostly genre roles, including some rather physically-demanding stunt work!
(She's also appeared sans garb in a number of films, both genre and non-genre...)
