"A MEMOIR BY GEORGINA SPELVIN... EROTIC ICON OF THE SEVENTIES"
In 1973, short on cash and with the rent due, a Peacenik former Broadway Gypsy living in Manhattan's Meat Packing District signed on to cook for the cast and crew of a new film, The Devil in Miss Jones. She soon found herself cast in the lead role, and her legendary erotic performance launched her on a career that would come to define the era of Porn Chic. This is the story of Georgina Spelvin, a poignant and wholly bawdy memoir of her life before and after porn fame, full of riveting anecdotes and marvelous gossip from time spent among the famous and the infamous. With a storyteller's touch, Georgina takes us to the bright lights of Broadway, the glamour of Manhattan's Latin Quarter, the fervor of the Vietnam Era peace movement, and of course, the so-called Golden Age of Porn. Thirty years in the making and five years in the writing, there are more laughs than tears, but no apologies or excuses. It is not a victim's whine, but a romping good read, filled with the colorful details of a road less traveled.
The ETI e-book edition is enhanced with photos and a website link to continually updated photos and readings by the author.
Author's Bio:
Toddler years spent "on the road" with Geophysicist Dad. Mom managed to find a dancing school in just about every small town in Texas. Twelve years of public education were spent in fourteen different schools.
Graduation (National Honor Society) in 1954 was followed by a job dancing in the chorus of the Dallas State Fair Musicals. Then it was off to New York and a job as principal dancer at the Latin Quarter supper club in Times Square. Next came a job in the chorus of the Broadway musical, Pajama Game, then the understudy to Shirley MacLaine and the assumption of that role for the last months of the show's run. From there it was all downhill - as far as staring in musicals was concerned. Production jobs filled in and eventually led to film production jobs which led to interaction with all manner of underground film activities - most notably the role of Miss Jones in Gerard Domiano's landmark film, The Devil in Miss Jones and the "birth" of Georgina Spelvin in 1974.
