Films of the Golden Age
Issue Number 96
Spring, 2019
“I’ve always thought of my career as ‘Lucky me!’ and not ‘Poor me!’ My career wasn’t insignificant, but it wasn’t a blockbuster either.”
With her sunburst smile, girlish voice and adorable naivete, JACKIE JOSEPH (1933- ) enjoyed a five-decade career on stage, film, TV and nightclubs. Best known for originating the flighty role of Audrey in the Roger Corman lowbudget film THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1960), Jackie could, with relative ease, emit a puerile giddiness reminiscent of an Imogene Coca, project the enchanting bewilderment of a Gracie Allen, or embody a veiled, pert sexiness suggesting an early Doris Day. Jackie not only has been a constant joy and ditsy delight to watch over the years, but a subtle scene-stealer as well, while in between involving herself smartly in union and animal causes.
