Kathie Fitch, known for the stage name Chris Jordan, was an American film and stage actress and a pornographic actress. Recognized for her comedic timing, she is best known for her leading role as Mouse in the comedy crime film Teenage Hitchhikers (1974), as well as supporting roles in various Joseph W. Sarno 1970s sexploitation films such as Deep Throat, Part II (1974) and Confessions of a Young American Housewife (1974). On stage, Fitch appeared in several critically acclaimed productions. Early in her career, she briefly appeared with her then-husband Eric Edwards (a pornographic actor) in porn loops, although she subsequently began to pursue legitimate acting roles as she didn't like doing porn. By the end of the 1970s, Jordan retired from acting and began a career as a policewoman. She died in 1990 at the age of 44.
Although Fitch wasn't fond of the idea and wanted to pursue legitimate acting projects, Everett suggested the two star in 8 mm porn loops and appear in sex photographs as a means of earning extra income. One of the earliest loops being a threesome between them and Linda Lovelace before Lovelace became a popular celebrity figure.
Fitch had her mainstream film debut as a clinical patient in Alan Abel's comedy mondo film Is There Sex After Death? (1971), which featured Abel, Buck Henry, Holly Woodlawn, and Robert Downey Sr. in leading roles. While her role was a bit part, it was Fitch's first experience on a film set. In 1971, Fitch made her acting debut in the stage play Boeing, Boeing for the Le Barn Rouge in Jackson, Mississippi as Barbara, a German stewardess.[1] Fitch later portrayed Lydia in the musical By Hex (1972) for the Mountain Playhouse in Jennerstown, Pennsylvania.[2] Fitch's performance received acclaim: Dorothy Kantner of Daily American wrote that Fitch "certainly proves her professionalism."
Fitch later had a supporting role in the New York-lensed exploitation horror film Massage Parlor Murders! (1973), appearing as the victim Rosie. Fitch later had a supporting role opposite Linda Lovelace in Joseph W. Sarno's satirical comedy spy film Deep Throat Part II (1974).[3] Fitch starred as Mouse alongside Sandra Peabody in the exploitation comedy film Teenage Hitchhikers (1974), which was her first time as a leading actress in a feature film. Her performance received positive reviews: one critic, Linda Gross, wrote for Los Angeles Times that her performance was "ingenious,"[4] The film has become a cult film and is one of filmmaker Quentin Tarantino's favorite films. It was included in the QT Six Lineup at the Quentin Tarantino Film Festival in 2005.
