Marsha Jordan is an American actress active during the Golden Age of Sexploitation films in the 1960s and early 1970s. A one-time stewardess for Delta Airlines, this buxom blonde was in high demand and had a considerable following in adult cinema. She stumbled into the softcore movie business in 1960 while on vacation in Los Angeles. Considered the Queen of Softcore Cinema, she made films for Harry Novak and David F. Friedman, among others. She appeared in such movies as The Head Mistress, Sweat Georgia, and Her Odd Tastes. Marsha Jordan, an actress in high demand by the softcore industry, was paid $100 to $125 per day or $1000 per week.

[edit] Biography

Jordan was born Carolyn Marcel Jordan in the small town Gadsden, Alabama. She is the granddaughter of a minister, and grew up in a Catholic convent. Marsha Jordan's ultimate hero is John Wayne.

She is currently married to John Moore and living in San Miguel, California. She has 3 daughters Beth, Jennifer, Stacy and a son Edward. Marsha and John are owners of a Yak-11 named Czech Mate. Raced by Sherman Smoot.

Even though she had no reservations about appearing nude, she refused to do hardcore and retired in the mid-seventies. "I've seen a trailer and it's like a medical film, there's nothing left to the imagination," she told interviewer Kenneth Turan about hardcore movies. In the 1968 adult western, Brand of Shame, her character, Rachel, receives what may be the longest movie whipping ever, 40 lashes with a bullwhip by bad guys.
