Leslie Allen Jordan was born to Allen Bernard Jordan (1933-1967) and Peggy Ann Griffin (born 1919). His father Allen was a Major in the United States Army Reserve, and died in an airplane crash when Leslie was eleven in 1967.
Growing up as an openly gay man in Tennessee - and a Southern Baptist - Leslie's comic side showed when he discussed that time. He said that "I was baptized 14 times. Every time the preacher would say, 'Come forward, sinners!' I'd say 'Oooh, I was out in the woods with that boy, I better go forward.'"
In 1982, Leslie Jordan moved to Los Angeles, California - a big change from Chattanooga. He became involved in drug and alcohol addiction after the move, but after he was arrested several times, he changed his life and became determined to remain sober.
In 1986, Leslie entered a career in show business, first appearing in the television show "The Fall Guy." Because he was so short - 4 ft 11 in - he stood out and became instantly recognizable. Many television parts followed: from "Murphy Brown" to "Will and Grace" to "Star Trek: Voyager". He received an Emmy for "Will and Grace".
Leslie was also a popular star in the theater, appearing in "Sordid Lives" and many other productions. He also released an album of gospel music in 2021 and became a media "star" before his death - he had 5.8 million followers on Instagram. Not bad for a 60 something year old man! The covid-19 pandemic lockdown had raised his profile when he took to Instagram to chronicle his daily life.
On October 24th 2022, it was reported that Leslie crashed into the side of a building after suffering a "medical emergency" while driving his car. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The boy born in the staid 1950s to a Tennessee Southern Baptist family made it through life on his own terms - and made us all laugh with his offbeat humor. RIP Leslie.
