SAM J. JONES | 67

Fans will best remember Sam J Jones as Flash Gordon in the 1980 movie with the same title and performance in the short-lived TV series The Highwayman from 1987 to 1988. He managed to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kurt Russell to get the role. But if you’re not into films but magazines, he also made a name in the periodic world when he graced the cover of Playgirl in 1975. With its fame, it was eventually reprinted in 1981.

Jones married his wife, Ramona Lynn, on June 26, 1992, and is happily enjoying his life together with his three children and his $500,000 net worth that he has earned throughout his career. Sam Jones is now mostly retired from acting. To keep himself secured, he made investments in a security business, which offers safety for traveling executives. Although he is not that old yet, he may now be focusing more on his personal life.
