Constance Money, born Susan Jensen on November 30, 1956, in Kenmore, Washington, USA, is a pioneering American adult film actress of Norwegian descent. A high school cheerleader and performer at Inglemoor High, she pursued psychology and sociology at Mills College in Oakland, California. During college, she entered the porn industry as Jennifer Baker before adopting the stage name Constance Money. Her iconic breakout came as Misty Beethoven in the 1976 golden age classic 'The Opening of Misty Beethoven,' a sophisticated parody of Pygmalion directed by Henry Paris (aka Radley Metzger), transforming a streetwalker into a sexual sophisticate. She starred alongside frequent co-star and brief live-in partner John Leslie in films like 'Mary! Mary!' and 'Obsessed' (both 1977), and closed her career with 'Taste of Money' (1983). Featured in Playboy magazine spreads in 1977-1978, including 'Call of the Wild,' and resided at the Playboy Mansion. She successfully sued Metzger for unauthorized reuse of her footage. Honored in the AVN Hall of Fame (1998) and XRCO Hall of Fame (2016) as a film pioneer. After cameo attempts in mainstream films like Blake Edwards' '10' (1979), she retired young to the Pacific Northwest.
