Jo Morrow
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Born in Cuero, Texas, Jo Morrow was still a baby when her parents took
her to San Diego, where her father worked in aircraft manufacture and
her mother encouraged Jo's acting aspirations. Entering a "Be a Star"
contest which Morrow feels started out as a sham, she actually won a
20th Century-Fox contract (film-debuting in Gary Cooper's 10 rue Frédérick (1958)), and
from there moved to Columbia. The 1964 birth of a deaf daughter forced
Morrow to choose between movies and motherhood; the latter won out,
although she made a comeback of sorts in 1970s exploitation fare like
Doctor Death: Seeker of Souls (1973) and Le dernier pénitencier (1973).
