Leslie Jordan Wife And Family Details
Leslie Allen Jordan was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to his parents, Peggy Ann Griffin and Allen Bernard Jordan. His Father, Allen, was a United States Army Reserve major and died during service when Leslie was 11.
Leslie was an openly gay man. He came out to his mother, aged 12. He told his mom something was up, even though he did not know the word ‘gay’ back then. Peggy was accepting and supportive. She did not lecture him but showed concern that he would be ridiculed and asked him to live his life quietly.
The famous actor was unmarried and never had any children. Not only did he never wed, but he also claimed that he never went on a date.
Leslie’s mother passed away in May 2022, aged 86. He has two sisters, Jana and Janet.
After graduating from the University of Tennessee in 1982, Leslie moved to Los Angeles, where he worked through several roles before getting his breakthrough in the drama Murphy Brown. He was noted for his small stature – standing at just 4 feet 11 inches – and usually played flamboyant characters.
Leslie struggled with alcohol and substance abuse, taking his first drink at age 14. He once humorously recalled ending up in a jail cell next to Robert Downey Jr. Leslie later became sober in the 1990s.
“People say, ‘Well, how do you get sober? What’s the best way?'” Jordan said. “Yeah, well, 120 days in the jailhouse in Los Angeles. That will sober you up.”
The world remembers and mourns the death of Leslie Jordon (April 29, 1955 – October 24, 2022).
