Georgina Spelvin is a Texan that became one of the most famous porn legends in history. A professional actress who went by my pseudonyms before sticking with Georgina Spelvin, she suffered from polio when she was a child, but did overcome it to the point where she was pursuing a career in dancing when she was in her early twenties.

Georgina headed to New York and had some success there where she got work as Shirley MacLaine’s dance double in ‘Sweet Charity,’ and obtained a role in the Broadway production of ‘Hello Dolly.’ After those jobs, she had gotten the lead in the 1966 play ‘The Pajama Game’ before falling on harder times. In the early 70’s when in financial trouble, she found some behind the scenes work with a small adult film production company through her friend, Harry Reems.

In 1971, ‘High Priestess’ was released which is Georgina’s debut performance. Shortly after her start in porn Georgina met up with director Gerard Damiano. Gerard cast her as the lead in the now classic ‘Devil In Miss Jones.’ So impressed with her acting ability, Gerard had the script of the movie rewritten for a mid-30’s bachelorette instead of the original 19 year old nympho. The success of this film forced her to stick with Georgina as her screen name, it also created a strong friendship between her and Gerard.

Georgina has appeared in over 100 adult movies, some hardcore and some soft. She was not the most beautiful woman in the business, but she always gave it her all with an extremely erotic performance every time. An authentic and passionate performer, she is still considered one of the most genuinely sexy women of porn. Throughout the 70’s and into the early 80’s this sexual goddess made nonstop classic performances, with at least eight of her films now in the XRCO Hall of Fame.

Georgina decided to retire from the porn industry at the age of 47 in 1982, but not before she had won nearly all awards possible in the business. She won two Best Actress awards from the Adult Film Association of America and four Best Supporting Actress awards. Georgina was also the very first woman ever included in the XRCO Performers Hall of Fame on top of being a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.

After becoming a legend in her past career, Georgina is now a desktop publisher and graphic designer. She now lives a relatively modest life with her boyfriend, actor John Welsh in the Hollywood Hills.
