Biography[]
Joyce Gordon was brought up in Chicago, Illinois and studied at the University of Illinois and the University of Wisconsin. Her father was the founder of the National Barber and Beauty Manufacturers Organisation. During her late teens, Gordon moved to New York, dreaming of building a career as an actress.[1][2]
By the 1950s, Gordon was seen on television almost daily, appearing in shows and more frenquently (and famously) in commercials. She was the first woman to do network promos, and the first woman announcer for a political convention on network television. Joyce Gordon was also one of the first women to wear glasses, while appearing as herself on television, soon being known as "The Girl with the Glasses".[1][2]
In 1966, Joyce Gordon was voted the first female president ever of any local branch of the Screen Actors Guild, after serving on the union's national board as the only female branch member, since 1959. She served the guild for more than 40 years in different positions and was a staunch advocate for the merger of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA).[1][2]
Joyce Gordon died in 2020, at the age of 90.
