Joan Van Ark Headshot

Actress

Birth Date: June 16, 1943

Age: 79 years old

Birth Place: New York City, New York

Tall, leggy and blonde, Joan Van Ark is best recalled as the long-suffering Valene Ewing on "Knots Landing" (CBS, 1981-93), but is also a successful stage actress and her velvet voice has made her one of the most prolific voice-over performers for TV and radio commercials and animated projects.
