Leslie (Allen) Jordan, despite his little stature (4′ 11″), has a strong aptitude for scene-stealing. As his dead-giveaway drawl rapidly reveals, Leslie was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 29, 1955, and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in a highly conservative, deeply religious environment. His father, an Army Lieutenant Colonel, was killed in a plane crash when he was only 11 years old. Leslie became increasingly active in writing as the 1990s progressed. Fans of L.A. theater will recognize him as Brother Boy, an institutionalized drag queen in “Sordid Lives,” and Peanut, a regular barfly in “Southern Baptist Sissies.” His own off-Broadway one-man shows, such as “Hysterical Blindness” and “Like a Dog on Linoleum,” demonstrate his skill at baring his soul and exposing his childhood agonies on stage amid laughter and tears.
Leslie Jordan debuted in films in the late 1980s with a cameo in Richard Pryor’s comedy Moving (1988), and then as Iggy, a hunch-backed Igor analogue, in the wacky horror satire Frankenstein General Hospital (1988), featuring comedic actor Mark Blankfield as the mad doctor. Leslie began her career with low-budget films such as Ski Patrol (1990), Missing Pieces (1991), Hero (1992), Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), Barcelona (1994), Eat Your Heart Out (1997), and Black Velvet Pantsuit (1995), to mention a few.
