I mostly just know her courtesy of Seymour Skinner: "That photo was taken shortly before I was shot in the back, which was very strange because it was during a Bob Hope show... I was trying to get Joey Heatherton to put on some pants, God's sake."

Hey! Where did the "for" between pants and god go?

She and Goldie Hawn both stirred something in adolescent me, but even then I had a feeling she was like Goldie's less innocent crazy nympho sister.

The only reason I know the name as well. Perhaps she was just before my time?

first exposure to her was as a character in a Drew Friedman comic

i'd say the peak of her fame was a few years before Studio 54, tho she still clung to TV talk shows / guest shots.
(and was mercilessly parodied by Catherine O'Hara on SCTV)

I loved O'Hara's version of her. And not really that far from the truth, haha
