Personal life edit

Born on October 24, 1952, and originally from Los Angeles, California,[1] St. Elwood is from Phoenix Arizona.[2] In his younger years, and having the issues that juveniles have, for two years his life was structured under the Gary Job Corps vocational and educational training center which years later in 1986, he attributed to his own development as a person and a Christian.[3] Prior to becoming an actor, he worked in some low paying jobs which included moving rocks and furniture removal. He was also a plumbers mate and a night-club bouncer. He even attended the Phoenix Police Academy for a while, but opted to try medical related work.[4]

In early 1985, he received the Los Angeles Sentinel's Community Service Award for his work with the American Cancer Society and some other organizations.[5]

In October 1985, St. Elwood was married to former neighbor and friend Irene Hubbard at the Historical Wedding Chapel in Burbank, California. Prior to their becoming man and wife, he had known her for seven years. Cast members, Stephanie Williams (Who played Amy) and Susan Seaforth Hayes (who played Joanna), with her husband Bill Hayes, attended the small ceremony.[6]

On September 19, 2023, Jon St. Elwood passed away at the Veterans Home in Yountville, CA.

Career edit

1970s edit

One of his earliest roles was as Skelly in Mel Damski's 1979 film, The Child Stealer which starred Beau Bridges, Blair Brown, and Cristina Raines.[7] Also that year he appeared as Private Reuss in part 1 of "Good Bye, Radar", from the series M*A*S*H which aired on the 10th of August.[8] He also appeared as Manu in the "Demon's Triangle" episode of A Man Called Sloane which starred Robert Conrad.

1980s edit

In 1980, he appeared as Darryl in an episode of The White Shadow, "The Stripper".[10] He appeared in Tayor Hackford's film Against All Odds which starred Rachel Ward, Jeff Bridges, Richard Widmark, and James Woods.[11] He played the part of Ahmad Cooper in this 1984 film.[12]

He landed an on-going role as Jazz Jackson in Young & the Restless that went from 1983 to 1986.[13][14] According to Connie Passalacqua's article in The Northwest Arkansas Times. It was after two months of playing his role that his acting ability impressed the powers at Young & the Restless enough to expand his role.[15] Elwwood's character as Mob leg breaker, now a bad-guy-turned-good, Jazz Jackson was already established by the time Phil Morris came in to play his brother Tyrone Jackson.[16][17] The character Jazz who originally got involved with a crime syndicate so he could put younger brother Tyrone through law school,[18] ended up killing mobster Tony DiSalvo and would end up working as an operative for PIs, Andy Richards and Paul Williams.[19]
