Joey Heatherton with Johnny Carson The Tonight Show 1964

one good find

Joey Heatherton had the moves. Damn! Puts today's girls to shame.

[@dennishill8356]

Many magical television moments like this one came from the Carson show. Thank you very much for uploading this treat.

Joey Heatherton has just jumped a few thousand degrees on my list of hot chicks from the sixties.

[@VILJL]

Joey Heatherton was born on September 14, 1944, celebrated her 76th birthday on Monday September 14, 2020. She is an American actress, dancer, and singer. A sex symbol of the 1960s and 1970s, she is best known for her many television appearances during that time, particularly as a frequent variety show performer, although she also appeared in acting roles. She performed for over a decade on USO tours presented by Bob Hope, and starred in several feature films including (1965) and (1977).

[@davidrosler5413]

This is important! The tapes from that era were all wiper clean. I remember when Johnny made the angry announcement on air. This may be the only record of the early 60's of the show.

[@cantwait25]

What was Johnny angry about? Johnny looked like he was having fun?

[@epaddon]

@redgrapeskins No sir, this IS from 1964. First off, Carson was always aired in color from the beginning, we only see B/W clips of a lot of stuff because they were preserved in B/W only despite first airing in color. Second, this clip comes from a larger promotional film Johnny, Ed and Skitch Henderson did for GE lightbulbs and I have the whole promotional film and it's from 1964.

[@Cessnagirly]

That was soooo much fun. Thank you Bill

[@KKAkuoku]

Even on 8mm film, Carson and Heatherton both look A-GRADE!!

[@sixtiesschlitz1638]

Joey, Joey, Joey. Like Cary Grant saying Judy, Judy, Judy. Wow! Was Joey Heatherton gorgeous and talented? Obviously.

[@dennishill8356]

Just the talent, Mam. No auto tune, no backing vocals and no gold chains. Thanks for the upload.

[@epaddon]

@redgrapeskins You don't know what you're talking about, with all due respect. I HAVE the complete GE promo film from which this clip comes from, and that promo film is from 1964. Skitch Henderson, who LEFT the Tonight Show in 1966 is at the desk in this film where Johnny then INTRODUCES this clip, and furthermore they are talking about the 1964 presidential campaign when they are hosting the promo film. This is not 1969 except in your vivid imagination.

[@FORRESTJASPER]

Fantastic! Thanks! The quality of the entertainment (and it's value) far outweigh whatever complaints anyone has about the quality. In the future, or whenever possible, please consider having the film digitally transferred to 1040p or now 4000p, which is quickly coming into vogue. Thanks again, i l.m.a.o. & Joey was FAB!

[@anthonydowd3265]

It wasn't so much taping over video as destroying flammable nitrate film stock. I would like to have been a fly on the wall when Johnny got that news. I can't imagine how pissed he was.

[@jmason2838]

not destroyed because of nitrate stock . they were erased ..because nbc was cheap.. no insight on how priceless and irreplaceable these moments are .. just nbc stupidness then and now .. still.💫💫💤💤🐽.... how many classic moments were forever lost because of some idiot moron nbc executive🐽🐗 ?.. that thought it was a good idea to erase tapes..and the morons that listened to him ..🐽🐽🐽..☹️😭😠 karma arrives eventually .. for all..✝️☯️🛐🔎📖🔍☯️☯️☯️...just my humble opinion..

[@jehobden]

I've read a quote of Carson originally being unconcerned w/ the wiping of his show, saying that NBC could make guitar picks out of the tapes for all he cared.

[@pgh45rpms]

Joey has a brother Dick who worked as a disc jockey. And she once did a summer TV show with her father Ray in 1975. Joey was a frequent guest on Dean Martin's tv show and went on Bob Hope's USO shows to entertain the troops. She was also in those commercials for Serta mattresses. Wikipedia says she was married only once, to footballer Lance Rentzel, but their marriage ended in divorce. Don't know what she's doing now. She turns 74 on Sept. 14..

[@jefflrfe]

Fascinating life -- a very talented woman who never got lots of breaks, but never "the" break. "...an almost preternatural glow that people in the industry like to call star power -- today, you'd probably say she had the 'it' factor." I don't think anybody has used the term "the it factor" since Eleanor Glynn tagged Clara Bow with the term in the 1920's! And Brenda Lee had already had a huge hit with "Sorry" when Heatherton covered it -- it wasn't "original" to Joey. And the name of the dance she "famously" taught Carson to do is pronounced the "froog." Here's the video; kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJLGlJ6jjZh1obc

I agree about the lost shows due to overtaping, but video tape was very expensive back in the day, so budget won out over posterity.

[@dunstonbrooks6886]

Also contrary to what some people might attribute to outright callousness on the part of network executives there weren't any home video recorders or dvd's around in those days and sadly they could not foresee the amount of future interest in these programs.
