Born Joyce Brown (later, Loveland) in Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 6, 1928 (some sources cite 1929 and 1935 as her year of birth). Lansing's Mormon parents
divorced in the depths of the Great Depression. When her mother remarried in the late 1930s,
the family moved to Los Angeles. In 1942, MGM chose to sign Lansing for its talent school, and she began a successful modeling career as a teenager. In 1947, Lansing
began her acting career with an uncredited bit part in the Columbia film When a Girl's Beautiful (1947; with Adele Jergens). Her first credited
film role, as Joyce Lansing, came in the 20th Century Fox crime drama The Counterfeiters (1948; with Hugh Beaumont and
Lon Chaney Jr.). Following a short marriage in 1950 that was annulled, in 1951 Lansing married fellow actor Lance Fuller, soon after both had made brief appearances
in the big-budget 1952 musical Singin' in the Rain. Fuller also acted in a number of B films throughout the 1950s, including This Island Earth (1955;
with Rex Reason, Faith Domergue, and Jeff Morrow) and the
Ed Wood-penned The Bride and the Beast (1958). However, Lansing's marriage to Fuller was short-lived and ended in 1953. With her acting career
still relegated to bit parts and a few television appearances, Lansing kept her modeling career going while attending UCLA.
Lansing's acting career finally took off in 1955; she landed a recurring role on the NBC/CBS TV series The Bob Cummings Show (1955-1959; with
Robert Cummings and Ann B. Davis). She also was cast in the films The Brave One (1956) and Hot Cars
(1956; with John Bromfield). When her role on Love that Bob ended, Lansing was soon offered another recurring character on
the NBC TV series Klondike (1960-1961; with Ralph Taeger and Mari Blanchard). While appearing on TV programs,
Lansing also had occasion to appear in a few films, such as Queen of Outer Space (1958; with Eric Fleming and
Zsa Zsa Gabor). She was cast in the Orson Welles classic Touch of Evil
(1958; with Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh), the comedy A Hole in the Head (1959; with Frank Sinatra and Carolyn Jones), the thriller
The Atomic Submarine (1959; with Arthur Franz and Brett Halsey), and the comedy Who Was That Lady? (1960; with Tony Curtis, Dean Martin,
Janet Leigh, and Barbara Nichols). Following her 1960 marriage to producer Stan Todd, Lansing took some time off from acting, resuming her career in
1963 with a series of guest spots on the CBS TV series The Beverly Hillbillies (1962-1971), on which she appeared as Gladys Flatt.
