She was most noted for her pin-up photos, and for her minor roles in B-movies. She was once named "TV's Marilyn Monroe." She is also known as Joyce Wassmansdorff, Joyce Rae Brown, Joyce Loveland.
Lansing was born Joyce Rae Brown in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1928 to Jack Glenn Brown, a shoe salesman, and Virginia Grace (née Shupe) Brown, a housewife.

She began modeling in her teens, and, aged 14, was signed to a contract at MGM. She completed high school on the studio lot.
A model and actress, Lansing was often cast in roles similar to those played by her contemporaries, Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren. She was frequently clad in skimpy costumes and bikinis that accentuated her attractive figure, but never posed nude. Lansing practiced yoga for relaxation. A Mormon, she did not drink or smoke.
In 1972 Joi Lansing died from breast cancer at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California where she had initially been treated surgically for the disease earlier the same year. Joi Lansing has several misspellings. Internet searches have led to many erroneous spellings of celebrities names. It is often difficult to figure out how to spell a celebrities name due to the sound of the name being different than the spelling of the name. Especially when so many celebrities have different pseudonyms, it often makes spelling their names so difficult.
