Jo Morrow (born November 1, 1939 in Cuero, Texas as Beverly Jo Morrow), is an American film actress.
Morrow's mother was Mrs. Ruby Adele Morrow. In 1958, she won the Miss Pasadena (California) title and went on to represent that city in the Miss California contest.
Through a "Be a Star" contest, Morrow won a film contract with 20th Century Fox (with Gary Cooper in Ten North Frederick) in 1958. After only one film with 20th Century-Fox she moved to Columbia Pictures, allegedly because a producer at 20th Century Fox tried to make a pass at her.
At Columbia she made some ten films and a dozen TV series episodes between 1958 and 1963, the most notable being Our Man in Havana, in which she played Alec Guinness' daughter Milly.
On June 30, 1963, Morrow married Jack Barnett, songwriter for Jimmy Durante. The 1964 birth of a deaf daughter afforded her the opportunity to give up movies for motherhood. She had a brief comeback in a few exploitation films and TV series episodes in the 1970s.
