2Jordan Elizabeth Ladd (born January 14, 1975) is an American actress who is known for such {{Horror}} movies as ''Film/TheSpecials'', ''Film/CabinFever'', ''Film/ClubDread'', ''Film/DeathProof'', and ''Film/HostelPartII''.
3
4Her mom is Creator/CherylLadd and her grandfather was Creator/AlanLadd.
5----
6!!This actress contains examples of:
7* ActorAllusion: Eli Roth unsuccessfully tries to hit on her in both ''Film/CabinFever'' and ''Film/DeathProof''.
8* DyeHard: Naturally blonde but she dyed her hair black early on in her career, due to not wanting to be recognised as Cheryl Ladd's daughter. So she has dark hair in her early roles like ''Film/NeverBeenKissed'' and ''Film/TheSpecials''. In the 2000s however, she reverted to blonde and is more recognisable as that.
9* FriendshipOnTheSet: She became friends with Creator/RachelTrue while working on ''Film/EmbraceOfTheVampire'', and it was actually Jordan who suggested she audition for her best known role in ''Film/TheCraft''.
10* MsFanservice: Usually of the LegFocus variety. ''Film/CabinFever'' has an extended tilt up along her legs while she's in a bikini, and she spends ''Film/DeathProof'' wearing short shorts. The former arguably goes into FanDisservice however, as she eventually gets the virus from a sore on her leg. She also appears topless in ''Film/ClubDread''.
11* ProductionPosse: If Creator/EliRoth is involved, she'll probably be showing up at some point. She even appeared in the fake trailer he directed for the ''{{Film/Grindhouse}}'' segment 'Thanksgiving'.
12* RealLifeRelative: She co-starred with her mother in ''Film/InlandEmpire''.
13* UsefulNotes/ScreamQueens: She hadn't watched much horror before getting cast in ''Film/CabinFever'', but ended up becoming a fan after Eli Roth recommended so many movies to her.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen: She was nearly going to play Amy in ''Film/TheDoomGeneration'', but her mother turned it down for her, and it became a breakout role for Creator/RoseMcGowan. She later got to be in a Greg Araki film ''{{Film/Nowhere}}''.
