Shirley Jordan

Shirley hails from a small Connecticut town on the border of CT and Rhode Island. (So small, Pawcatuck had to borrow a RI zip code because it didn't even have a post office!) Right after graduating from UCONN (Go Huskies!), she took the road most traveled to New York City and enjoyed various odd jobs such as a waitress at the Empire State Building, receptionist at 20th Century Fox, cocktail waitress at the popular disco Visage, as well as a stand-in for 2 years on The Cosby Show. The first year she stood in for Rudy, the second she was grateful to trade in her knee pads to stand-in for the much taller Lisa Bonet. Bet you'll never guess who was Mr. Cosby's stand-in! Making her own earrings started out of necessity, after finding nothing on hand for a last minute outing.
