== Adult film career ==
According to pornographic film historian Ashley West, publisher of The ''Rialto Report'', Leonard worked for a Wall Street brokerage firm in the 1960s before moving on to work in public relations, including a stint writing copy for Elektra Records in New York's West Village. Upon her return to New York, looking for work, she contacted casting agent Dorothy Palmer, who apparently failed to tell Leonard that the acting role she cast her in was for an adult film.
 
Gloria Leonard began appearing in hardcore pornography in 1976, in films including ''The Trouble with Young Stuff'', ''All About Gloria Leonard'' (both of which were written and directed by Joseph W. Sarno), ''The Opening of Misty Beethoven'' (directed by Radley Metzger), ''Fortune Smiles'' and ''Taboo: American Style''. She worked with actresses Constance Money, Leslie Bovee, Sharon Mitchell, [[Jennifer Welles]], and [[Samantha Fox]] before retiring from the screen in the 1984. She also directed several porn films, and was formerly married to Bobby Hollander. After moving to Hawaii in 1993, she returned to Los Angeles in 1997 to work for [[Private]] Media Group.
