Career

Born in Taylorville, Illinois as Joyce Crowder, she based her stage name on her hometown. A coal miner's daughter, Taylor sang in amateur shows at age 10 and turned professional at 15, signing with Mercury Records. She was under contract to Howard Hughes-owned RKO Pictures in the 1950s but he only allowed her to act in one movie (a small part in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt in 1956).[2] When her seven-year contract ended, she became a regular on the science-fiction adventure TV series Men Into Space (1959–60) and acted in many other TV shows, as well as several feature films.
