The daughter of actors Charles Maude and Nancy Price, Maude's great-grandmother on her father's side was the singer Jenny Lind, known as the "Swedish Nightingale".[3] Maude was a cousin of the actor-manager Cyril Maude.[4]
Maude married firstly Scottish Rugby International player and journalist Frank Waters (1909-1954), with whom she had a daughter.[5][6] In 1956, she married Oliver Woods (1911-1972).[4] She was the writer, producer, and production designer of the short film All Hallowe'en (1952).[7]
Her mother, an author, and an actress, published a book Behind the Night-Light: The By-World of a Child of Three in 1912, recording 'faithfully' the beasts and animals Joan imagined as a 3-year-old.[8]
