She was cast in "Les Aventuriers" (1967), french movie by Robert Enrico, with Alain Delon and Lino Ventura.

Joanna Shimkus's movie career continued until the early 1970s, one of her last screen appearances being in The Virgin and the Gypsy (1970). She married Poitier in 1976, and they live in Southern California. Their daughter Sydney Tamiia Poitier is also an actress.
