Uta Erickson
- Actress
Uta Erickson was one of the most popular actresses in New York
City-based sexploitation of the mid to late-60s. She is most familiar
from the films of Michael and Roberta Findlay, including The Kiss Of
Her Flesh, A Thousand Pleasures, Mnasidika, The Curse Of Her Flesh, and
The Ultimate Degenerate. Erickson was also a favorite of directors
Doris Wishman (Love Toy), John Amero (Bacchanale), Barry Mahon (Sex
Killer), and Joe Sarno. Sarno and his wife Peggy Steffans recall
Erickson was of Norwegian descent, and they gave her the best roles of
her career in Marcy and Passion In Hot Hollows. Where Erickson is now
is a mystery, but she left behind a slew of memorable appearances in
low-budget exploitation films and was a much more talented and
strikingly beautiful presence than many of her contemporaries.
