Joyce Gibson Bio
Joyce Gibson/Mandel: her career
Joyce Gibson's career lasted almost 30 years (interrupted by two retirements). She was born on March 10th, 1950. Her modelling debut occurred when she was just 18, in the March 1969 issue of Modern Man; and many magazine layouts followed over the next five years; after which time, she retired.
Joyce retires early
Joyce's first retirement (mid-1970s) ended with a single layout in the June 1979 issue of OUI; she was a sensation, all over again. And her previously lean frame had developed - her breasts were larger - she was now a voluptuous woman. But then, Joyce retired again, disappearing for almost 14 years.
Joyce reborn as Alexis Love
She re-emerged in 1993, as Alexis Love, primarily in Score and Voluptuous. She had taken to wearing a blonde wig as Alexis, and her figure had 'blossomed' to remarkable proportions. She was now in her middle forties, and attributed her mammoth growth to a "hormone shift", but many people assumed she had gone down the implant road. She was steadfast however, in asserting that they were real, even going so far as to certify them as such by the UCLA Medical Center.
Joyce Gibson: the movies
Her films include: Street of a Thousand Pleasures (1970), Wham Bam, Thank You Spaceman (1973), Chesty Anderson, USN (1975) and The Baltimore Bullet (1980). For any fans of hers, you can write to her at The Alexis Love Fan Club; P.O. Box 491205, Los Angeles, CA 90049.
