Joan Podell

I discovered her while watching "Them!" and have admired her ever since. It is truly sad when a loved one leaves us but, to quote Cicero, "Vita mortuorum in memoria est posita vivorum," meaning "The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living." We will never forget you, Joan, that is the only and best thing we can do for you. Sit tibi terra levis

I always loved her performances, especially in Perry Mason (Case of the Angry Mourner) and the movie (Them). Classic grace and beauty. Miss her. Condolesences to her family and fans

Oh dear what a beautiful talent. Highly highly underrated actress, with an awesome singing voice.

I will always remember Joan in the landmark sci fi movie Them! She was terrific. RIP

Love seeing her in the films Joan appeared in, during the 1950s. GRIT TV airs several, including one with Guy Madison. Beautiful and elegant woman.

Our deepest sympathy to Dr David Podell on the loss of his wife Joan.

Back in the late 70's when I was a young actor I worked as a houseboy for Joan and the family. She made a big impression on me. She was so kind, gracious, beautiful and supportive of my acting and musical aspirations and even sent me to her voice teacher Ross Barentyne. She was always upbeat and full of energy. A couple of years after I had worked for the Podells I ran into her on the street and she took me out to dinner. Totally spur of the moment. I was in a production of The New...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Please except my warmest condolences.

A lovely woman. Joan was a real Classy Lady. She could have been a one of the biggest stars but instead chose real life instead of a “reel” one. I remember she once said she had no regrets. Though we’d not seen each other in many years, she will be forever missed by her NY, Fl and CA friends.
