Bookshop Interview with Author Alexis Hunter (Episode #171)

1/11/2023

0 Comments

 
In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Alexis Hunter discusses her new memoir, Joi Lansing--A Body to Die For--A Love Story. In this book, Alexis recounts her time spent with Joi Lansing, one of the last blonde bombshells of 1950’s and ‘60’s Hollywood. Known as the Monroe of television, Joi Lansing was a talented actress, singer and performer. Alexis was just starting out in Hollywood when she met the famous actress on a movie set. The two became fast friends and were soon inseparable. Alexis’s memoir details how they fell in love but kept their relationship a secret by introducing Alexis to everyone as Joi’s little sister. Shortly after they began their relationship, Joi Lansing was diagnosed with cancer, and Alexis became her caregiver during the final few years of her life. Joi Lansing died in 1972 at the age of 43. In this episode, I’ll chat with Alexis about her writing journey, what it was like to revisit her past all these years later, and the very memorable first time she met Joi Lansing in person (believe it or not, Alexis was wearing a monkey suit).
