Meomoir of Leslie Jordan: A Fascinating Life Story

By DION J. BRIGHT

Leslie Jordan had a tremendous aptitude for grabbing the show whenever he appeared on stage. His twang was a dead giveaway that he was from the South - Born in Memphis, he grew up in an environment that was very conservative and passionately religious. When he was only 11 years old, his father, who was in the Army, died in an aircraft accident. But how did Leslie manage his past while going forward?

He was unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, but he had an irresistible tendency for humor and high camp, not to mention an impish smile and pocket-sized body, so he decided to go directly to Los Angeles in an effort to get opportunities in commercials and on-camera. After running into chances and receiving acting instruction from Carolyne Barry, who during the 1980s managed the Professional Artist's Group, Leslie quickly realized that he was very marketable in commercial spots.

Leslie Jordan, through his talent, became well-known for appearances in shows like American Horror Story and Hearts Afire; won an Emmy for his performance on Will & Grace; saw a renaissance in his career at the age of 65, and became an online star during the 2020 pandemic.

Talk of becoming an online star, many won't forget Leslie when reminiscing about the COVID-19 lockdown. After decades of working as an actor in little parts, the small celebrity acquired a new audience by posting gossipy and relatable videos every day on Instagram. All around his days, Leslie Jordan garnered widespread accolades from the film and theater communities, wrote his name on the sand of time, and left behind memorable moments not to be forgotten in a haste!
