Dear Ms Spelvin,
Given your age and when you started in the adult industry, I assume that you grew up in a time where interracial sex or relationships were big taboos punishable by law. So I would assume that when you were working, you weren’t open to doing interracial scenes with blacks. I believe you never worked during your entire career with a black man. My question is: is it something you would have been open to or was it a little too much? We are in 2010 and black and white sex in the adult industry is still a big taboo. Many girls refuse to do it.
Thank you for your time.
Carl

Dear Carl,
Yes, Jim Crow was a member of every “city counsel” of every little town my oil company employee dad ever got stationed in throughout Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana in the first 18 years of my life. The only really big confrontation I ever had with my dad was after I saw a car load of nicely-dressed “colored folk” – which was the polite way to refer to non-whites in them days – be turned away at a gas station by the proprietor who informed them (not unkindly) that he “din have no facilities for nigras” – another polite term by local standards. I was upset and said as much as we pulled away and my dad stopped the car on the side of the road, turned in his seat, and said, “I don’t want to ever hear another word from you about how we treat our nigras. I had a nigger mammy who breast fed me when I was a baby and I loved her as much as my own mamma, but they have their place and we have ours and that’s how it is.”

At the time, I treated it as just another subject we didn’t talk about.

Later, as a chorus dancer in New York in the 50′s, I met and danced with quite a few “blacks” – the newer accepted term. Two became life-long friends. Their unequal battle for equality became my battle, too.

Now, to your question: I did do a scene with a very sweet and talented black actor whose name I cannot remember, in a film which I cannot recall the title of, but only that one time. You’re right. The color bar was firmly in place, and I guess it probably still is. Another bit of correction in the human experiment to be dealt with, along with prejudice against gays, and the concept of women as chattel in a HUGE portion of the world still.

The human race is a work in progress, though. I simply have to believe that.

Thanks very much for your interest and question.

Lady says- I researched this and found that Georgina has a sex scene with Pharoah Amos in “All the Way”.  Pharoah is listed as a black performer who was active from 1975-1980. What’s interesting is there is no mention of inter-racial on the boxcover, no mention at all that Pharoah is a black man. I guess back then it didn’t matter.
