Joi's most memorable roles include one of obsessive doctor Richard Basehart's hapless victims in the creepy horror item Mansion of the Doomed (1976); Velvet, a vicious henchwoman of Dyanne Thorne in the splendidly sleazy Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks (1976), Cleopatra Schwartz in the uproarious sketch comedy hoot Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), a high school cheerleader who gets abducted by brutish football players in The Great American Girl Robbery (1979) and a winged bat girl alien in the amusingly goofy sci-fi spoof Galaxina (1980).

Joi began her performing career as a popular nightclub dancer, and in fact made her film debut as a nightclub dancer in the solid Fred Williamson blaxploitation vehicle Hammer (1972).

Sweet, sexy and shapely black actress Marilyn Joi greatly enlivened a bunch of enjoyably trashy 1970s drive-in exploitation pictures with her boundless vitality, bubbly, upbeat personality, stunningly gorgeous looks and considerable sex appeal.
