Actress Bobbi Jordan Dies at 75
She had a stint on "General Hospital" in the 1970s and appeared in the Lucille Ball musical "Mame."
hollywoodreporter.com →In the mid-1970s, Jordan had a three-year stint as former nightclub owner and singer Terri Webber Arnett on General Hospital . In one memorable story arc on the ABC daytime soap, she crashed her car after the wife of the man she was dating — just released from a sanitarium — tampered with her brakes. (Of course, he would operate on her to save her life.) Later in the decade, Jordan had regular roles on the primetime comedies Turnabout , written by Steven Bochco and starring John Schuck and Sharon Gless , and Joe and Sons , with Richard S. Castellano and Jerry Stiller . In Mame , the 1974 musical directed by Gene Saks that was based on the Broadway hit, Jordan played Pegeen, a maid at the home of Mame Dennis (Ball) who winds up marrying Mame’s nephew Patrick ( Bruce Davison ). She also had a small role as a waitress in the Walter Matthau -starring A Guide for the Married Man (1967). Jordan, born Roberta Carol Bartlett, moved from her hometown of Hardinsburg, Ky., to Chicago, then settled in Los Angeles to study opera. While working as a cocktail waitress, her manager at the club heard her singing in the kitchen and offered her a chance to audition for a musical the place was producing. Throughout her career, Jordan continued to sing and perform on stages around the country, with a lead role in the first national tour of Stephen Sondheim ’s musical Company and regional productions of Guys and Dolls , Damn Yankees , South Pacific and others. Jordan’s husband, Bill Jacobson , head writer for The Kate Smith Hour , died last year. She is survived by her son, writer-director Jordan Roberts ( March of the Penguins ); her grandchildren, Brandon Roberts, a rock musician and songwriter; Cameron Roberts, a high school sophomore and aspiring actor; her sister, Reba Sue Waters; and her stepdaughter, Jessie Jacobson.
