Joy was born in Washington DC in 1952 and raised by her aunt and uncle. The couple owned a restaurant in DC, where Joy had the chance to encounter distinguished individuals who left a lasting impression on her. This exposure to various personalities set the stage for her future adventures.

At 16, Joy opted to pursue her education in Germany. While out with her guardian and their two daughters, a man approached the family, inquiring if the girls were interested in modelling. The father declined, and his daughters agreed. Surprisingly, the man was referring to Joy Jewett, the tall redhead with striking grey eyes. Initially shocked by the proposal, she eventually embraced the opportunity, leading her to stride on the runways of Milan, Paris, and New York, representing iconic fashion houses like Lagerfeld, Chanel, and Vivienne Westwood.

Joy concluded her modelling career at 25, feeling she had outgrown it, and transitioned into banking, where she thrived. After her husband's untimely passing, she embarked on a soul-searching journey. In August 2023, a chance encounter in Rome with a former fashion industry colleague inspired her to make a comeback. Back in the USA, she secured an agent in New York, and in September 2023, at the age of 70, Joy returned to the catwalk.

Now residing in London, Joy has worked with designers like Manuel Tiscareño and appeared in Indian Vogue. She admires Kate Moss for her genuine nature and considers Meryl Streep and Kathryn Hepburn her favourite actresses.

In the 70s, Halston gifted Joy a dress she had modelled, which survived a devastating fire at her home 20 years ago. Joy's introduction to Luvvies a life in entertainment podcasts came through Kelly Glyptis during an encounter with Manuel Tiscareño and Grammy Award-winner Zachary James, who stars in Hadestown.

Joy is associated with various agencies, including @goldenage, @dcmodels7211, and Crum, making her available for work! #hadestown #zacharyjames #model #mature #maturemodel #ManuelTiscareño #newyorkfashion #milanfashion #londonfashion #youtubepodcastchannels #celebrityinterviews
