Georgina Spelvin

Georgina Spelvin (born January 3, 1936) is a pornographic film actress. Born Dorothy May, she suffered from polio as a child, but recovered well enough to become a dancer. She began her career in "legitimate" film, as a chorus girl in Guys and Dolls. When her friend, pornographic actor Harry Reems, introduced her to a porn film director, Gerard Damianco, May moved into pornography.

Her first film was Teachers and Cream in 1970, but she became well-known with her starring role in The Devil in Miss Jones in 1973. She also appeared in the low-budget horror film I Spit on Your Corpse!, for which she also served as costume designer. Other "straight" roles were in Police Academy, Police Academy 3: Back in Training, Bad Blood (in which she was billed as Ruth Raymond) and Next Year in Jerusalem.
