Joanne Dru (born Joanne Letitia LaCock; January 31, 1922 - September 10, 1996) was an American actress. Pretty and golden-haired, she had a great deal of success early in her career with films like Red River, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and All the King's Men. Her fame faded in later years but she continued acting until around 1980.
Dru was the sister of The Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall and the aunt of Major League Baseball player Pete LaCock. She was married to singer Dick Haymes, with whom she had three children; and subsequently to actor John Ireland, George Rodgers Pierose, and C. V. Wood. She died of lymphedema at the age of 74.
