Joy Patricia Harmon (born May 1, 1940) is a baker and former American actress.

Harmon was born in Flushing, New York. A runner-up for Miss Connecticut, the 5 ft 5 in, 41½-22-36 Harmon was a regular on Groucho Marx's television program "Tell It to Groucho" (credited as 'Patty Harmon'), and also guest-starred on several 1960s TV series, including "Gidget", "Batman", and "The Monkees".

Harmon's best-remembered acting roles are as the thirty-foot-tall Merrie in the 1965 movie "Village of the Giants" (where she captures normal-sized Johnny Crawford and suspends him from her bikini top), and as the car-washing girl "Lucille" in 1967's "Cool Hand Luke", with Paul Newman.

Harmon retired from Hollywood to marry and raise a family. Later she started her own company, Aunt Joy's Cakes [http://www.AuntJoysCakes.com] , a bakery located in Burbank, California. She also made the rounds of movie and sci-fi fan conventions, to meet fans and sign autographs.
