Biography

Uta Erickson was a highly renowned and sought-after actress in the New York City-based sexploitation film industry during the mid to late 1960s.

She is most notably recognized for her appearances in the films of renowned directors Michael and Roberta Findlay, including the iconic movies "The Kiss Of Her Flesh", "A Thousand Pleasures", "Mnasidika", "The Curse Of Her Flesh", and "The Ultimate Degenerate".

In addition to her work with the Findlays, Erickson was also a favorite of other prominent directors, including Doris Wishman, John Amero, Barry Mahon, and Joe Sarno.

Sarno and his wife Peggy Steffans have fondly recalled Erickson's Norwegian descent, and praised her as having received the best roles of her career in their films "Marcy" and "Passion In Hot Hollows".

Despite her significant contributions to the low-budget exploitation film genre, Erickson's current whereabouts remain a mystery. However, she left behind a lasting legacy of memorable performances and was undoubtedly a more talented and strikingly beautiful presence than many of her contemporaries.
