According to actor Robert Vaughn, who knew her intimately (as stated in his autobiography "A Fortunate Life", St. Martin's Press, 2009), Joyce suffered from bouts of depression, combined with chronic insomnia.

One of her closest friends was actor Robert Vaughn.

Well-endowed platinum blonde who played dumb, sexy foils for top comedians (Steve Allen, Danny Kaye, Red Skelton) on TV skits and in occasional film pursuits during the 50s and 60s.

Her ongoing role as Skippy paired with Daphne (played by Jean Carson) in The Andy Griffith Show established The Fun Girls.

Discovered on the musical stage in the satirical revues of former husband, Billy Barnes.

In 1962, she starred with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre in the Roger Corman horror film Tales of Terror as Annabel Herringbone. She played Lorre's vulgar, unfaithful wife, and during the course of the film, she and her paramour (Price) were locked up in Lorre's wine cellar. One year later, she again starred with Lorre and Price in the raucous comedy The Comedy of Terrors (released in 1964).

Jameson was specialized in playing hookers, floozies, chorines and cheap dates.

In 1956, Jameson was one of the stars of the first Billy Barnes Revue. She was valued for her dialect comedy, her impressions of Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe, and a funny ventriloquism bit she did based on the memorable Michael Redgrave section of Dead of Night (1945).

Body cremated and ashes scattered into the Pacific Ocean.

By the '80s Jameson's career had slowed down considerably. There were episodes of The Love Boat and The Fall Guy, cartoon voiceovers, and bit parts in movies like Ladies Night (1983), The Man Who Loved Women (1983), and Hardbodies (1984).

Jameson began work in the early 1950s with numerous uncredited roles in films and television.
