90's Porn

Stacy Valentine was born on 9 August 1970 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. She is an actress.

One of the more fiery and uninhibited performers in the adult-film business, Iowa-born Anna Malle's exotic look (part Cherokee and part Irish) and terrific body contributed to her becoming an almost instant fan favorite, and the tremendous energy she puts into each of her performances didn't hurt, either. She started out in pro/am films, appeared in one of Ed Powers' "Dirty Debutantes" series and a few Max Hardcore productions early in her career, and at the top of her profession had more than 200 films to her credit. She also toured the country as a stripper and made appearances on the Playboy Channel and on HBO. She had left the industry, moved to Las Vegas, NV, and was working in a department store when she was killed in a traffic accident in that city on January 25, 2006.

Jeanna Fine has had an on again/off again porn career for the last 15 years. She began her career in 1986 when she landed her first starring role in an adult film. She was 21 years old, into the "punk" scene with blonde spiky hair and her attitude was that she was going to take the porn world by storm. She was noted for her penchant for throwing herself wholeheartedly into rough, aggressive sex scenes, whether with men or women. However, she did have a reputation for a somewhat haphazard work ethic - she would often show up late for shoots, or not show up at all - and after shooting approximately 50 films in about a year, she disappeared. She returned three years later with a new look (long brunette hair), but disappeared again shortly afterwards. However, two years later she was back. Just as she was about to re-start her career, she fell in love with a Jewish man not in the porn biz, converted to Judaism and left the business yet again. She stayed away for several years to raise her son, but in 1998 she returned and this time appears to be back for the long haul.

Colorado-born Juli Ashton has the reputation of being a nice girl in a not-always-so-nice business. She graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Spanish and History, working as a nightclub waitress to put herself through college. She taught Spanish in a junior high school for a year, but her striking looks and spectacular figure weren't meant to be cooped up in a classroom, and in 1990 she began appearing in adult films. She has also had smaller roles in "mainstream" films, most notably in the Trey Parker/Matt Stone comedy Orgazmo (1997), in which she played Steffi. In addition to her film work, she has appeared as a model in many magazines and toured as an exotic dancer. Despite the pressures of the business she has been in, she still manages to radiate a girl-next-door personality (she has, with some justification, been compared personality-wise to actress Lisa Kudrow), and is an avid camper and a devotee of Mexican cuisine. Currently she is involved with a management group called Risqué Business.

Azlea Antistia was born in Southern California and grew up on the east coast. She eventually moved back to the Southern California area in her late teens. Azlea was approached in her early twenties by a modeling scout and started in print modeling and some acting. For a brief moment Azlea dabbled as an adult actress. Working for companies such as Vivid video, Wicked, VCA etc. Azlea also had many magazines layouts. Retiring from the industry in late 1998.

Janine Lindemulder did not begin her film career in adult videos. With her gorgeous yet teenage girlish looks and incredible body, she had begun appearing in "mainstream" films in the 1980s, though in typical "blonde bimbo" roles. Among the few "mainstream" movies to her credit is Lauderdale (1989), but the films were received so poorly, however, and her performances were considered so bland that her mainstream career basically went nowhere. She began her "adult" career in a low-budget soft-porn (although it was made by a director of hardcore porn films and had several adult-film performers in the cast) women-in-prison extravaganza called Caged Fury (1990), which featured well-known non-adult actor Erik Estrada. Having made an impression, Janine's career in the adult industry had begun. She performed in a few lesser-known films in 1990, performing sexually with male co-stars exclusively. It was during this very short period in her adult film career that her son, Tyler, was conceived. Realizing that his conception was the result of unprotected sex with male co-stars, Janine officially refused to work with men any longer. She interrupted her career during her pregnancy, but after the birth of her son she returned to the adult industry with a bang and a new condition--she would perform only with women. Her career took off, and she appeared in many popular adult films, such as the "Where the Boys Aren't" series and she had one of her most highly regarded (by her fans) roles in Blondage (1994). She is a legendary figure in the adult film industry--with hundreds of scenes performed exclusively with other women, Janine is the literal poster-girl for girl/girl adult films. There are many fan clubs (male and female alike) that celebrate her choice to work with other women and her delightful, upbeat personality. Although she retired from the adult industry in 2000 in terms of performing (much to the regret of her legions of fans), she remains as a director/producer, and is one of the most famous and recognizable figures in the history of porn, right up there with Ron Jeremy, Peter North, and her "disciple", Jenna Jameson. The few scenes she filmed with male co-stars early in her adult career are widely sought after and extremely difficult to come by.

Caressa Savage was born on 14 July 1966 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. She is an actress.

One of the true pioneers in the adult-film business, Debi Diamond grew up in the San Fernando Valley, drag-racing motorcycles. She came from an old Hollywood family, and was pushed into acting at an early age. She attended acting school and tried breaking into Hollywood through a series of small roles on shows like The Dukes of Hazzard (1979), The Fall Guy (1981), and Knight Rider (1982). She never gained much footing though, claiming that she was constantly being hit on and nobody took her seriously.

At 18 years old, she became the personal assistant to producer Robert Evans who then introduced her to photographer Helmut Newton. Newton featured Diamond in several of his volumes of photography in the 80's. When her acting career in mainstream media didn't take off, she turned to adult films instead.

The zenith of her porn career was in the early 1990s, when she worked virtually nonstop and her performances garnered just about every award the industry gave out, and she was inducted into the XRCO Performers' Hall of Fame. After intense pressure from her family, she quit the business. She married a porn actor and became a legal secretary before moving to Las Vegas and working as a beverage waitress. But she missed the excitement of performing and in 1989, Diamond re-entered the industry. She left the industry again in 1995, but came back in 2010 and worked for for Playboy Radio SiriusXM. She also started a fem-dom company, Debi Diamond Films, and is a producer as well.

Lovely and petite 5'5" brunette knockout Inari Vachs was born on September 2, 1974 in Michigan. She grew up in the Midwest. Vachs worked in a few corporate establishments prior to moving to Southern California and beginning her career in explicit hardcore movies at age 23 in November, 1997. Her porn pseudonym stems from both the Japanese goddess of good fortune and her favorite author Andrew Vachss. She won the AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year in 2000. Subsequent awards Vachs has won include XRCO Awards for Best Actress in 2000 and Orgasmic Vocalist in 2001. Inari began her own production company called IV Multimedia in 2003. In 2005 Vachs served as the co-host of the Playboy TV series "Naughty Amateur Home Videos." Inari took a hiatus from the adult film industry for several years, but started performing again in porn movies in 2010. She was also inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame that same year. Vachs enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and snowboarding in her spare time.

Asia Carrera's stunning curves can be seen in more than 250 hardcore movies. Her looks combine delicate Asian features with voluptuous silicone breasts. Her fans not only admire her mouth-watering body but also her brains--a self-taught web designer, she is also a member of MENSA.

At the tender age of 13 this daughter of a Japanese father and a German mother was already playing music by Johann Sebastian Bach on the piano in Carnegie Hall. Thanks to a federal grant she was able to study Japanese language and Economics at New Jersey's Rutgers University, but this was only after she had run away from home as a teenager because of the pressure her demanding parents put on her. By the age of 17 she was homeless. To get through her studies at the university she turned to stripping. After becoming one of New Jersey's best-paid exotic dancers she decided to devote her life to getting richer and richer; she never wanted to live out on the street again. When she heard about girls making thousands of dollars in the porn biz, she moved to Los Angeles. A mutual friend introduced her to director Bud Lee, who instantly put her in one of his feature films. The rest, as they say, is history.

Asia has retired from making adult movies and only returns to do the occasional big-budget flick. She runs her own website and spends her time chatting with fans via email or day trading shares on the stock exchange.

Although the ranks of Asian stars in the adult-film business has been growing, few have reached the status of Kobe Tai. She and Asia Carrera are probably the two most popular Asian women in western porn, and it's a toss-up as to which one would take the #1 spot. Of Chinese/Japanese extraction, she was born in Taiwan and placed in an orphanage at an early age. Adopted by an American family, she was brought to the US and raised there. She broke into the adult-film business in 1996 under the name Blake Young (she also used the name Brooke Young). Her diminutive size (5' 3") hasn't stopped her from working with some of the biggest (pun intended) stars in the business and she quickly became a fan favorite.

She took time off in the middle part of 2000 to have a child, but returned in December of 2001, and is still going strong.

The daughter of a Norwegian father and a Vietnamese mother, Kira Kener's strikingly exotic looks served to get her foot in the door in the strip-club scene in North Carolina, where she started out when she was in her early 20s. Those looks garnered her a following on the strip club circuit. She soon came to the realization that the exposure of being a porn star would do even more to help her stripping career, so on a trip to Los Angeles in 1999 she got in touch with Vivid Video, one of the largest adult-film production companies, and was quickly signed to an exclusive contract. She made her hardcore debut later that year. Her main focus is on her career as a top stripper, but she regularly travels back to Los Angeles to shoot a few videos just to keep her name, among other things, in her fans' minds.

Tall (5'10"), buxom and ravishing redhead stunner Vicca was born in Moscow, Russia. She excelled at fencing, physics and mathematics in grade school. She was noticed by a modeling scout at age 14 and spent her weekends at photo shoots. Later she won the Miss Teen Moscow beauty pageant. Following graduation from high school at age 16, she majored in Optical Electric Systems at a Siberian college. Dissatisfied with her academic studies, she decided to pursue a modeling career instead and headed off to Budapest. She subsequently spent four years modeling and traveling all over the world. In 1996 she came to Los Angeles, California, to pursue a career as a porn actress; she signed an exclusive contract with VCA Pictures and soon began acting in scores of hardcore adult films. Vicca won the AVN Award for Best Solo Sex Scene for Diva 1: Caught in the Act (1997).

Sharon Kane was without a doubt one of the single most prolific and ubiquitous actresses in hardcore porn. Born on February 24, 1956 in Ohio, Kane grew up as a tomboy in a rural community with her mother and grandparents. Sharon briefly worked as a secretary for the Salvation Army before beginning her career in the adult entertainment industry in the mid-1970's as an exotic dancer at the theater The Screening Room in San Francisco, California. After making her hardcore debut in Alex de Renzy's Pretty Peaches (1978), Kane went on to act profusely in a slew of X-rated features over the course of several decades that encompass gay, straight, bondage, and even transsexual fare as well as 8mm loops and video productions. Outside of her acting credits, the versatile Sharon also worked on adult movies in a variety of behind-the-scenes capacities that include director, writer, producer, set designer, make-up artist, art director, set decorator, production assistant, and even composer (she often sang and played multiple instruments for the latter).

The fourth child of her British and French parents, Aurora Snow was born Rebecca Claire Kensington on November 26, 1981, in Santa Maria, California, United States. When Rebecca was a toddler her parents divorced. Her mother remarried and Rebecca's new stepfather, Raymond Nordell, relocated the family to Nottingham, England, where they had four more children.

Rebecca became obsessed with Sleeping Beauty (1959), and especially the main character, Princess Aurora. She developed a keen interest in ballet and the performing arts as a preteen. After graduating from high school at age 16, Rebecca moved to New York, changed her name to Aurora and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She dropped out after only one year and moved to Los Angeles to become a model/actress. When she couldn't jump-start her acting or modeling career, her agent suggested she get into porn. At first it was frightening for young Aurora but, homeless and desperate, she finally agreed to do a nude modeling shoot for "Hustler" magazine after a long telephone conversation and consultation with porn queen Jenna Jameson.

Aurora has starred in 60 feature films and was under contract to Sin City Entertainment.

Her family moved to Britain when she was four, and three years later moved to Simi Valley, California.

Silvia Saint was born Silvia Tomcalova on February 12, 1976, in what is now the Czech Republic. After graduating school she studied management for two years at an institute in Brno. Later she was employed as a hotel manager in Zlin, and held jobs in other companies as an accountant and marketing coordinator. Financially she wasn't going anywhere, so she decided that a career in modeling would be more rewarding than her previous jobs. She quickly graduated from modeling underwear in lingerie shows to nude layouts in magazines. Her then-boyfriend took her to a casting session for an American porn production, and she soon found herself in Frank Thring's "Lee Nover: Search for the Perfect Breasts". After some layouts in "High Society", "Swank", "Cheri" and "Club International", Silvia hit the jackpot in 1996, when she became a "Penthouse" Pet in the Czech "Penthouse" magazine. Two years later she was a "Pet" in the American issue of "Penthouse", too.
