Let Me Count The Ways: Only one part of her talent is acting (between) her singing and love of musical theatre. She's going to be a huge star. Paul Johansson She's from somewhere very far away and we thank God every day that they sent her here because she is so unique and so just different from any person I've ever met. Hilarie Burton Joy's someone who challenges herself to be electric on every take. Many times she will make choices that elevate the material. And that's when you really win. Mark Schwahn She's quiet, soulful. That's a good word for her. She's one of those people who are just really talented. David Hartley, One Tree Hill producer The audience took to Joie in the snap of a finger. I've never seen anything like that before. Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, executive in charge of Procter & Gamble productions My first impression of Joie was, 'Damn, she's 17.' Paul Anthony Stewart, Guiding Light Joie Lenz... wasn't she great... I got her a gold bracelet at the end of the shoot that had "Reva 17" inscribed on it. What a talent... We shot 7 shows in 5 days that first week... almost 200 solid pages of material... it could have been a horrific experience... It was great fun... Robert Newman, Guiding Light [Joy is] an amazing person. She's the type of girl who can do anything! She's been fortunate to be in the public limelight on a number of occasions, but we've never seen it go to her head. She's mature well beyond her actual years. She's level-headed and sensible, yet full of that crazy artist-passion which makes her so fun! a family friend I wasn't really a hardcore Danny and Michelle fan, but I did really like Joie Lenz. She easily clicked and held her own with Robert Newman, Michael O'Leary, Hunt Block, Laura Wright, and other actors. Paul Anthony Stewart is a good actor and Joie Lenz clicked with him too. I was a fan of hers from the clone. She was the perfect adult Michelle. She gave Michelle a depth that was lacking since Rachel Miner left the role. There was such a genuine quality to her. She didn't play Michelle as a victimized martyr either. She played Michelle as a true heroine who was sweet, sexy, passionate, and strong. Unlike the current Michelle, her Michelle had a backbone. She was determined without being obstinate. She was warm without being tepid. She was sweet without being saccharine. She was devoted and loyal without seeming like a stepford wife with a glazed look in her eye. She didn't have to try to be sexy. She just was. a Guiding Light viewer I couldn't help but notice that the 'it' she brought to the screen, and in her photographs, transferred to her being right in front of me. Some actors just look different, some look the same, some blend in, but she stood out every single time. What she brought to the screen came across very easily. a fan on meeting Joie It isn't just one scene or one moment that captured our hearts, it's the character that was created and nurtured over time. It's a scene here, a moment there, that look in her eye, the smile on her lips, it's all of them coming together, it's the little things that I will miss and remember most. [...] I will remember all the faces of Michelle: daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother. So instead of rushing home to pull out my tape and watch my scene, I'll just close my eyes, cue the song in my heart and let my mind take me back and just remember...
