Gals don’t come much cuter than all-American Michelle Joyner, a Massachusetts gal who went Hollywood via Elite Model Agency in New York. She got her first acting gig on the soap opera Search for Tomorrow, playing Sarah Whiting from 1985-1986. She went on to do the rounds of primetime TV, picking up guest spots in 21 Jump Street, Quantum Leap, Jake and the Fatman, Gabriel’s Fire, Northern Exposure, Touched By an Angel, The X-Files, Strong Medicine, Lie to Me, and Bones, and was featured on Knots Landing in 1991 as the recurring character Lynette. On the big screen, she played Donna Joy in Lawrence Kasdan’s I Love You to Death (1990) with Kevin Kline and River Phoenix, was Jenny in Grim Prairie Tales (1990) with James Earl Jones, and Sarah in Cliffhanger (1993), where she plunged to her death despite Sylvester Stallone’s best efforts. Michelle’s bare breasts are brought to the big screen as Morgan Cassidy in Traces of Red (1992) with James Belushi, then again as Katelin in Painted Hero (1997) with Dwight Yoakam. Between the two, she was Sherry Mauldin in Outbreak (1995), starring Dustin Hoffman, Renee Russo, and Morgan Freeman, and afterward, she played Elliott’s wife in Gun Shy (2000) with Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock; and appeared with Danny Glover in Strive (2019).
