Happy birthday to American actress and baker Joy Harmon, born today in 1940. Harmon is known in fandom as the 30-foot-tall Merrie in Village of the Giants as well as roles in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Batman. #JoyHarmon
HAPPY 85th BIRTHDAY, #JOYHARMON! She played Francie in #Bewitched S2s "Divided He Falls." Her most famous role is that of the gorgeous car washer Lucille in 1967's "Cool Hand Luke." She began her own bakery - Aunt Joy's Cakes in Burbank, CA - where they specialize in cakes, cupcakes, and chocolates.
“Oh, don’t make book on it!” For films from the past, there can be some sayings that don’t seem to make sense. The line said by Merrie ( #joyharmon ) and Fred ( #beaubridges ) in #villageofthegiants is one such saying. It is basically another way of saying, “don’t bet on it.”
We often feel this line from #joyharmon is often misconstrued. We’ve heard urban legends of how someone was to be stepped on in #villageofthegiants , but our research has found no evidence of the wishes of the online size community.
