Joanne herself became known for portraying strong, independent women on screen, breaking the mold of traditional female roles in her era.

In HBO’s documentary The Last Movie Stars, he reflected: “He was more like my grandfather than a movie star to me. Losing him was really hard, because he was such a big part of my life.”
