The tributes that have flooded social media in the wake of her passing reflect the dual nature of her impact. There are those who mourn the loss of a cinematic beauty the woman who could stop time with a garden hose and a bucket of soapy water. They share clips of Cool Hand Luke and stills from Village of the Giants celebrating the aesthetic perfection of a bygone Hollywood era. But there is a second deeper wave of tributes from those who admired Joys evolution. They speak of a woman who was kind compassionate and deeply connected to the simple joys of life. Her ex husband shared memories of a woman who loved animals as much as she loved people spending her afternoons feeding the peacocks squirrels and chickens that frequented her property. It is a portrait of a life that came full circle moving from the artificial lights of a movie set to the natural warmth of a home filled with life and creativity.
