During the 1960's Joy guest-starred on several TV series, including Gidget, Batman, and The Monkees.
Harmon retired from acting to get married and start a family. Baking has always been a favorite pastime and she since started Aunt Joy's Cakes. She first started sharing her treats in Disney studios and now operates Aunt Joy's Cakes in Burbank, California.
