Joan Evans

Born: 1934-07-18

Joan Evans (July 18, 1934 - October 21, 2023) was an American film actress. Her first film was Roseanna McCoy, based on the real-life romance between two members of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. She gained the role after producer Samuel Goldwyn conducted a national talent search. She was only fourteen years old when she started work on Roseanna McCoy and her parents added two years to her age so she could claim to be sixteen when the film was released.
