Heroine of the Month: Joanne Rio
Posted on June 2nd, 2008 by admin
Much like our Hero of the Month for June, Joanne Rio did not really have a big career in films. Working mostly as a stand in for Liz Taylor, her only notable film work was as one of the dancers in the Beautiful Girl number in Singing in the Rain (1952) and as a Native American in Seminole Uprising (1955).
Her biggest role was in one the last serials Columbia made, Riding with Buffalo Bill (1954). She played a Hispanic who comes to the aid of Marshall Reed, Rick Vallin, and Shirley Whitney in their quest to end the dictitorial machinations of perrenial 50’s villain Michael Fox.
