Jo Anne Worley

American entertainer, an actress and comedienne whose work covers television, films, theater, game shows, talk shows, commercials, and cartoons. She laid her first laugh tracks on TV's "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" by asking "Was that a chicken joke?," before piling up credits in major stage roles in "Mame" and "Gypsy" to Walt Disney movies, game shows and even a four-year stint as national commercial spokeswoman for Kleenex. No stranger to the stage, Worley won a scholarship to Midwestern in the drama department, subsequently moving on to Los Angeles College and Pasadena Playhouse. Her entry to the big time came with a Billy Barnes revue that earned her good notices and she was soon understudy to Carol Channing in "Hello, Dolly!" a role she later made her own. Her first of 50 appearances on the "Merv Griffin Show" landed her the "Laugh-In" gig. Worley was married for many years to actor-playwright Roger Perry, raising step-daughter Dana Selange Perry. Roger Perry filed for a divorce after 25 years, citing irreconcilable differences, on 23 February 2000 in Los Angeles. She is president of Actors and Others for Animals. Link to Wikipedia biography
