All the stuff you’ve possibly seen on Wikipedia etc. is full of inaccuracies.

Here’s the real skinny.

Georgina Spelvin was born in the bowels of Lower Manhattan in 1972. She was 36 years old at the time – rather long in the tooth for a porn actress. The daughter of George Adversity Spelvin, the noted Shakespearean actor, and Stark Necessity, an inventive mother, she became the darling of Porn Chic with the release of Gerard Damiano’s epochal film, The Devil In Miss Jones. Her portrayal of the virginal Miss Jones earned a very complimentary review from the leading film critic of the day, Judith Crist.

This unprecedented acceptance of a sex actress by the mainstream media led to numerous film assignments for her over the next ten years. There were even two films, Police Academy I and Police Academy III, which had no explicit sex scenes in them at all.

In a former life, Ms Spelvin danced on Broadway and in many, many, many summer stock and industrial productions. Just prior to her New York debut at Lou Walters’ famous bistro, The Latin Quarter, she danced in the chorus of the State Fair Summer Musicals in Dallas, Texas in 1954 – her first professional gig.

Between the time of Devil’s filming and release, she participated in an average of two hard-core films a month. Footage from these endeavors have been cut and re-cut into so many various and sundry films, that it is impossible to catalogue them accurately, but most of her more structured efforts are listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com).

Retired from films since 1979, Ms Spelvin agreed to do the non-sex cameo role in the remake of The Devil in Miss Jones because the director, her good friend Paul Thomas, asked her to. Aside from that brief foray back into the porn world, she has devoted her time and efforts to writing – a secret passion from her earliest memory. Her “creative memoir” is set for a spring 2008 debut.

Ms Spelvin and her husband are living happily ever after in a small bungalow in Hollywood. They have a cat and several tropical fish.
