Pettet got her start on Broadway in such plays as "Take Her, She's Mine," "The Chinese Prime Minister" and "Poor Richard" with Alan Bates and Gene Hackman before she was discovered by director Sidney Lumet for his sumptuous 1966 film adaptation of Mary McCarthy's novel, "The Group." The success of that film launched a film career that included roles in "Night of the General" (1967), the James Bond spoof "Casino Royale" (1967), "Blue" (1968) with Terence Stamp, and the Victorian period comedy "The Best House in London" (1969). Her mother remarried and settled in Canada, where she was adopted by her stepfather and assumed "Pettet" as her last name. Her father, Harold Nigel Edgerton Salmon, was a British RAF pilot killed in the war. Talented, blonde Joanna Pettet was born Joanna Jane Salmon on November 16, 1944 in London, England.
