Father Was US Army Chaplain?

edit

According to the biography on the Batman TV website, her father was a US Army Chaplain. Haven't seen any other bios that note this though. Anyone have some other citations on this? VictorC (talk) 18:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

A 1964 newspaper article quoted Staley referring to her father as "Army Chaplain California, San Mateo. Col. James K. McConchie ..."[1] I have added that citation to the article. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:57, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notability Beyond Playboy?

edit

I have looked at a few bios for this person, and her TV and movie career was much more extensive than just the one Playboy appearance. For example, she played the ingénue in the 1966 Don Knotts' movie The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. She was a regular guest actress in many TV shows during the early sixties to early seventies.

She played Valerie Blake in an episode of Dick Van Dyke. Not really a notable appearance, but I think it is still worth mentioning. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 23:15, 29 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Joan Staley played Deena a cavewoman in Valley of the Dragons (1961 film). I suspect tho' it is not one of her memorable credits.--Naaman Brown (talk) 23:03, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
