Joan Van Ark

Highest Rated: 26% Frogs (1972)

Lowest Rated: 26% Frogs (1972)

Birthday: Jun 16, 1943

Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

Tall, leggy and blonde, Joan Van Ark is best recalled as the long-suffering Valene Ewing on "Knots Landing" (CBS, 1981-93), but is also a successful stage actress and her velvet voice has made her one of the most prolific voice-over performers for TV and radio commercials and animated projects.
