Jennifer Welles was born and raised in northern New Jersey, the youngest of two daughters of a German aircraft designer and his wife who had fled when the Nazi Party rose to power. Her father left the family for another woman when Welles was nine and she never saw him again. She was raised by her very protective mother, who became a seamstress in a factory, working long hours and often leaving Welles at home alone, since her older sister had married at a young age and moved away. Welles quit high school and became a dancer in dinner theater and traveling theater troupes during the early 1950's. She soon went to Las Vegas and danced in opening acts for comedians such as Jack Benny and the comedy duo of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. She soon returned to the east coast and studied drama for a short time under Sanford Meisner. She continued dancing in stage productions and by the end of the 1960's, she had married professional musician Manny Duran and became involved in acting in mostly low-budget softcore sexploitation films in New York City.
In the mid-1970's, at just over forty years of age, she began making explicit hardcore adult films and was very successful, enjoying a large following. Although she claims her husband had no problem with this, they soon divorced and she then married a wealthy businessman named Phillip, who was about ten years younger. He lavished her with a large Tuxedo Park home and money to spend, and she left adult films by the end of the decade. They soon moved to Houston, where she became involved in raising horses. However, she was neglected by her husband and the marriage was soon over after he began an affair with another woman. Although she said in a recent interview that she is now in her seventies and living alone on much less money, she is very content in an undisclosed rural location in America with a few cats, dogs, and two horses. She says she has a few close friends, some to whom she has revealed her past, and that she attends church regularly and has no regrets for her film career.- Actress

Before breaking onto the silver screen, she was popular as a comedic sketch artist/talking foil. Comedy albums, with Allen & Rossi, Vaughn Meader and Loman & Barkley earned her appearances on many T.V variety shows such as "The Tonight Show", "Red Skelton", "Steve Allen", "Merv Griffin", and with Tim Conway at Caesar's Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.
Filmed in New York City, Dyanne Thorne's first major film role was in Norman C. Chaitin's Encounter (1965), which was also an early screen credit for Robert De Niro. Moving to Hollywood to appear on T.V.'s Star Trek (1966), and star as yet another villainess in Crown International's thriller Point of Terror (1971), opened the door to several more movie roles.
In 1975, Dyanne married composer, conductor, musician and actor Howard Maurer. She and husband Howard starred in five films together throughout the years. The duo also co-produced and starred in several Las Vegas Strip showroom productions over a span of three decades and their careers took them around the world. Both Dyanne and Howard returned to the screen in 2013 after a 25 year absence to star together in indie horror films House of Forbidden Secrets (2013) and House of the Witchdoctor (2013).
As an actress, Dyanne Thorne was best known for her characterisation of the heinous international dominatrix, soldier of fortune, Ilsa. After her debut as Ilsa in Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS (1975), she reprised the role in sequels Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks (1976), Ilsa the Tigress of Siberia (1977) and unofficial entry Ilsa, the Wicked Warden (1977) by director Jesús Franco. Her performance as Ilsa turned the series into a cult favourite amongst horror and exploitation fans, with Ilsa the Tigress of Siberia (1977) earning a special screening at Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival 2018. Following her film career, Dyanne, alongside husband Howard, served as a church ordained, non-denominational minister In Las Vegas. The husband and wife team created "A Scenic Outdoor Wedding" as an alternative to commercial chapel weddings, with couples travelling from across the globe to be married by "Ilsa". - Brunette Kathy Hilton hailed from Canada.

Malù was born in 1967 in Italy. She is an actress, known for Lady Chatterley Story (1989).- With her fiery scarlet hair, pretty round freckled face, awesomely ample, buxom and shapely figure, and infectiously bubbly good-natured personality, popular erotic star Colleen Brennan was as endearing as she was alluring, a potent double whammy that, in turn, made the always exuberant Irish redhead absolutely irresistible. She was discovered dancing at the Classic Cat club on Sunset Strip. The delightfully perky, comely, and enchanting Colleen made her film debut (as Sharon Kelly) in the uproariously raunchy comedy The Dirty Mind of Young Sally (1973). She greatly enlivened such choice lowbrow dross as A Scream in the Streets (1973), The Beast and the Vixens (1974), Sassy Sue (1973), Little Annie Fanny (1971), The Dirty Dolls (1973), The Boob Tube (1975), Alice Goodbody (1974), and Delinquent School Girls (1975). Colleen was severely mistreated by Dyanne Thorne in the first two notoriously nasty "Ilsa" features. She had a memorable unbilled bit as one of the titular lovely, yet lethal ladies in the terrific sci-fi/horror camp classic Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973) and achieved her greatest popularity as SuperCherry in Russ Meyer's outrageous Supervixens (1975). Colleen had small parts in two mainstream pictures: She's a woman who's covered with tattoos in Shampoo (1975) and the beautifully naked corpse of Ben Johnson's murdered daughter in Robert Aldrich's gritty police mystery thriller Hustle (1975). In the early 1980s, she began acting in hardcore X-rated porno movies under the pseudonym Colleen Brennan. She voluntarily quit acting in the late 1980s because of the AIDS scare and went on to create her own home recording studio for phone sex hot lines.

She died on 3 November 2009 in Waverly, Virginia, USA.- Chris Jordan was a pretty, vibrant and engaging blonde actress who greatly enlivened a handful of 70's soft-core movies and hardcore X-rated pictures alike with her sweetly attractive looks, winningly perky personality, and infectiously boundless upbeat energy. A gifted comedienne, Jordan began acting in experimental theater in the early 70's and started her film career by appearing in graphic porn loops with her onetime husband and frequent co-star Eric Edwards. Chris made an especially strong and favorable impression with her always bright and impressive performances in several excellent adult movies for acclaimed writer/director Joe Sarno: she's absolutely adorable as daffy genie Amara in the amusingly broad "A Touch of Genie," disarmingly nutty as the wacky, lascivious, constantly eating sugar addict Anna in "Confessions of a Young American Housewife," positively hysterical as whiny white trash slut Louise in "The Switch or How to Alter Your Ego," and very touching as the feisty, friendly, but forlorn and unfulfilled Alice Anne in "Abigail Lesley Is Back in Town." She often acted in films with popular adult feature actresses Jennifer Welles and Rebecca Brooke. In addition, Chris was in several TV commercials as well. Alas, Chris Jordan tragically died of cancer at a fairly young age in 1990.

Valentine Demy, born Marisa Parra, began working as a waitress 6 months shy of her 17th birthday. She also began appearing in local newspaper adds as a model, and began modeling lingerie one year later. It was one of her lingerie adds that brought her to the attention of Director Joe D'Amato. He signed her as his female lead for the erotic thriller Pomeriggio Caldo. Valentine played the role of Connie, a wife who had been swept away into adultery by a mysterious cult. Appearing in several erotic scenes, Valentine became known more for her sexual presence than her acting abilities. Her breakthrough role resulted in her appearing in several erotic thrillers over the years, including another reunion with Joe D'Amato in Dirty Love. Valentine also starred in the independent movie "Intimo" in which she played the role of Lora in 1988. She followed this up with a sensual role as Eva in "Casa di piacere". By the late 90's however, Valentine began appearing regularly in adult dating adds, and performed in Live Adult shows with her long-time girlfriend Elena Grimaldi. This resulted in her entry to the adult business. She began appearing in adult movies from 1998 and to-date has made over 40 adult films. Her adult career, which has been more successful than her mainstream movie career, has made her one of the most popular and famous porn-stars in Italy. She has also built a reputation as being willing to stretch the limits in her adult career, which is evident by the amount of extreme scenes she has done so far. The crowning moment of this was visible in 2008 when Valentine appeared at the annual Live Sex Show Misex and demonstrated a performance that won her the 2008 Adult performer of the year award.- Patricia Santos was born in 1961 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

Miss Nude Universe twice in a row, in 1970 and 1971, got her a topless non-speaking part in The New Centurions (1972). Started working as a maid for fellow nude model and actress Stella Stevens, went on tour as a strip-dancer for three years. Then she met talent-finder Russ Meyer, with whom she lived on-and-off for 15 years, and who apparently paid for her breast enhancement in 1979. They didn't marry because her first husband, 25 years her senior, wouldn't grant her a divorce (eventually he did, and she subsequently married, and divorced, three times). She appeared in many hardcore productions in the 1980s and 1990s, where she would not perform in explicit sex scenes; she would only say a line or be photographed topless. Her wild beauty, personal charm and sex appeal left her image imprinted on the viewer's mind, often more indelible than the film stars. In her later films she appeared plump, but still attractive. Chris Penn remembered her 44-25-35 dimensions from his earlier film The Wild Life (1984), in which Kitten also danced, and he presented his brother Sean Penn with an eye-popping, erotic performance by Kitten Natividad on the eve of his marriage to Madonna. She underwent a double mastectomy for treatment of breast cancer in October 1999.- Teri Weigel was born on 24 February 1962 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. She is an actress, known for Predator 2 (1990), Savage Beach (1989) and The Banker (1989). She was previously married to Sam Hoffart and Murrill Maglio.
- Pristine Edge was October 13, 1987 in St. Louis, MO. She loved growing up in a big traditional Missouri family, but it sure was hard to get the attention she craved, especially when she was competing with seventeen brothers and sisters. Still, with her boundless energy and stunning slender body, Miss Edge finally made it to the big time, and now that's she's got a little fame, she's not giving it up any time soon. On her way to the top, she's already a six-time 2016 Spank Bank Awards Nominee, a three-time 2018 Spank Bank Awards Nominee, a three-time 2019 Spank Bank Awards Nominee, a one-time 2018 XBiz Awards Nominee and Winner of the 2016 Spank Bank Technical Awards for "Pint Sized Goddess".
- Bearing a startling resemblance to fashion model Christie Brinkley, Katja Kean began making adult films in her native Denmark in 1997. Having worked in the hotel business for some time, she got bored and wanted to try something completely different, and decided that porn was it. She has made only a relative handful of features since her debut, but has still managed to be counted among the top draws in the adult-film industry.
- Beautiful and capable adult-film actress Abigail Clayton was born in New York City. Her father was a doctor. She gave an impressive lead performance in her film debut as the eager innocent adolescent who experiences a sexual awakening in the excellent and highly erotic teen coming-of-age feature Dixie (1976). A youthful-looking brunette with small but sweet and perky breasts, lovely big eyes, a large, yet luscious frame, auburn hair, silky skin and a slight (and incredibly sexy) overbite, Abigail was one of the most appealing and attractive female stars of the Golden Age of Porn. Her lusty and steamy contributions to such classic pictures as Naked Afternoon (1976), Desires Within Young Girls (1977), 7 Into Snowy (1978) and SexWorld (1978) were always quite arousing and enjoyable. Moreover, she also appeared in a few "mainstream" movies: she starred alongside Gérard Depardieu in Bye Bye Monkey (1978), was especially memorable as a hapless model who gets brutally murdered by vicious psychotic Joe Spinell in the notorious horror slasher cult favorite Maniac (1980) and had a small part as a nun in the comedy So Fine (1981). Abigail quit appearing in hardcore films in 1980. She was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2008.

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.

Wagner and fellow "Penthouse" Pet Anneka Di Lorenzo did a steamy lesbian scene in "Caligula" that was reprinted as a pictorial in the June 1980 and February 1991 issues of "Penthouse" (Lori also did a new pictorial for the latter issue). Following the harsh critical reception and box-office failure of "Caligula," Lori laid low for eight years before resurfacing in a small part in Trained to Kill (1989). She has another minor role as a female mud wrestler in the amusing mainstream comedy UHF (1989). In the mid-'90s Wagner acted in a few X-rated porno flicks, including _Frankenpenis (1994)_ with John Wayne Bobbitt.

Her celebrity as a Raiderette, in turn, got her work posing for layouts in several mens magazines, such as Playboy and Penthouse. A chance meeting with adult-film star Amber Lynn at an AIDS benefit led her to think about a career in the adult-film business, and she took the plunge, making her first video in 1993 (when her family discovered what her new career entailed, they disowned her). In addition to her adult-film work, she has also appeared in several "mainstream" films. She took a few years away from the business, but in 1997 returned and has been making films steadily since then.

Born Dorothy Lee Perrins in Los Angeles, California on March 11, 1943, Angelique Pettyjohn began modeling at a very young age. She also took advantage of her living in the locus of "American Dreams" by studying acting. Pettyjohn made her movie debut at age 21, under the name "Angelique", in the low-budget The Love Rebellion (1967), before tasting the big-time, co-starring opposite "The King", Elvis Presley, in Clambake (1967). This was her first appearance in an A-list movie, and this led to small roles in other big-budget films.
However, her fame as a thespian lies with her work on the small screen, appearing in memorable roles on Get Smart (1965) and Star Trek (1966). In 1967, she appeared on the former in two appearances as "Charlie Watkins", (Charlie was a male CONTROL agent who disguised himself as a gorgeous woman). After testing for the role of Nova in Planet of the Apes (1968), she won the role that made her an immortal among fans of science fiction: Shahna in the episode The Gamesters of Triskelion (1968).
The episode is a favorite of Star Trek fans and, although Pettyjohn would later reap the benefits of the role by appearing in countless Star Trek fan conventions in the distant future, at the time, this led exactly nowhere for her career. She continued in the bimbo sexual desire in such cinematic horrors as Hell's Belles (1969), The Curious Female (1969) and Bordello (1974). Her career was strictly in movies churned out for drive-ins and the exploitation circuit. In the early 1980s, she appeared as a stripper in Las Vegas, Nevada but soon abandoned her avocation as a stripper and softcore star for hardcore porn. Titillation (1982), Stalag 69 (1982) and Body Talk (1982) featured Pettyjohn, billed as either "Angel St. John", "Heaven St. John", or under her old moniker, "Angelique".
The burgeoning Star Trek cult, bolstered by the series of movies released by Paramount beginning in 1979, allowed Pettyjohn to quickly ditch her hardcore career. She began working Star Trek conventions to earn her keep, selling posters of herself, in and out of her sexy outfit from "The Gamesters of Triskelion". Her appearance on the circuit raised her profile in the movie industry. Indie film directors, who knew of her earlier work in low-budget exploitation fare, began hiring her for small roles in their films. She appeared in such indie features as Repo Man (1984), Biohazard (1985) and The Wizard of Speed and Time (1988).
Eventually, Pettyjohn's fame grew and she began headlining science fiction conventions as the main guest of honor. She overcame alcoholism and drug abuse to put her life on an even keel, overcoming the low self-esteem that had led her to her pornographic appearances. Pettyjohn appeared at her last science fiction convention in autumn 1989. Las Vegas had offered her a chance to cash in on her cult notoriety as an exotic dancer, and she took this; she was 46 years old, but still beautiful and vivacious, doing what made her happy, performing for a live audience.
Angelique Pettyjohn died of cervical cancer at age 48 on February 14, 1992 in Las Vegas, Nevada.- Actress

Aylar was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1984 and came to Norway at the age of three. Due to a turbulent domestic situation she was taken away from her parents and grew up in foster care. Although she moved from Iran at an early age, she has always felt strong ties to her Persian roots and great love for her foster parents as well as her biological parents.
At the age of 16 she was invited to Iran on holiday by her biological father. Her father had nearly lost contact with her, with him living abroad in Iran. What started out as a short vacation in Iran to regain lost family ties turned out to be a nightmare: she was kept in Iran against her will for nearly two years. After finally managing to escape Iran and return to Norway, a time of desperation began.
She wanted to trace her roots and regain her lost contact with her biological mother in the US but this decision was to change Aylar's life for good. Within two months of living in the USA, Aylar was plunged into a world dominated by drugs, pornography and abuse. After nearly overdosing on drugs, she finally understood that the time had come to change her life if she wanted to stay alive. She returned to Norway seeking medical care and the safety of her foster parents. After medical treatment and regaining her self-confidence, she decided to enter the Miss Norway (Frøken Norge) pageant in the summer of 2004. With her growing success in the competition, unfortunately rumors started to spread about her past. Just as she had made it among the top 10 finalists, the media got hold of proof of her participation in adult entertainment, which led to her being disqualified (this was the first time the Miss Norway pageant had experienced such an event) and Aylar and her life story got enormous media coverage. Her disqualification and past being exposed in the media was an enormous personal setback.
Within a very short period Aylar decided to get breast implants, created the concept of her self as "Aylar" and brought together a team of beautiful and talented models in her "Team Aylar". Soon she went on to represent the quintessence of the phrase "glamour model" in Norway.
In 2005, she decided to have her breast implants removed, and put the role of being a national tease on the shelf. In December 2005, she was featured in the Sunblock music video "First Time".
By the summer of 2006 she had made a cover song of the popular eighties pop song "Boys Boys Boys", which sold out six times platinum. What was originally supposed to be a summer gig turned out to whet her appetite for following her dream of being an artist.- Actress

She continued to pose and made the covers of Max, Maxim and Boss Magazine. In 2008 she announced she would stop working in the adult industry and started taking lessons to become a DJ.

Cleveland native Mary Carey was born into what could be charitably called a dysfunctional family. Both of her parents were mentally handicapped (her mother had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic) and she was taken away from her parents by her grandparents when she was three months old. After her parents divorced, her mother moved in with Mary and her grandparents. At seven years of age the family moved from Cleveland to Florida, and the next year Mary was legally adopted by her grandparents.
Mary continued in Florida with the dance lessons she had started taking in Cleveland, and was a straight-A student in school. Her stage debut occurred at 12 years of age when she performed "The Nutcracker" with the Miami City Ballet, and she was bitten hard by the performing bug. Her dancing skills were honed by attendance at a prestigious dance school, and she was being offered dance scholarships from many different institutions. Then, at age 16, her grandfather developed lung cancer and died within a few months. Her grandmother's Parkinson's Disease worsened, and on top of that her body began to develop and she no longer had the thin body considered desirable for a ballerina. She was told to lose weight and get a breast reduction, but instead decided to leave ballet altogether and tried out for and won a place on the dance team at Florida State University, where she was enrolled. In the meantime her grandmother's health deteriorated even further, and soon their financial situation became precarious. In order to keep their head above water, Mary looked around for a job that could pay the kind of money they needed, and found a job as a model on an adult Internet site. From there she landed a job as a stripper. She saw that the strippers who commanded the big money were the featured girls, and an agent told her that the best way to become a featured stripper was to get a following doing porn. She traveled to Los Angeles and made the rounds of the adult-film producers and studios, eventually landing a job with Playboy TV.
Just prior to the recall campaign against California Governor Gray Davis, Mary signed a contract with Kick Ass Pictures, and as a publicity gag they came up with the idea that Mary should enter the field of a dozen or so candidates trying to replace Davis, so she soon publicly declared her intention to run for governor. The stunt worked out far better than they had hoped for, as Mary's bubbly personality and sense of humor about herself, her profession and the campaign itself - not to mention her beauty - endeared her to the California public. Although some political pundits wrote her off as a joke, her "campaign" received extensive coverage in the statewide media and she drew enthusiastic crowds at her appearances. Although she didn't win the election, she did manage to garner more than 11,000 votes. After the election Mary continued to turn out videos, which continue to sell well, and she is, besides Jenna Jameson, one of the porn stars most recognized by the general public.- Lovely and petite 5'2" brunette stunner Michelle Maylene was born Michelle Paula Beique on January 20, 1987 in Edwards, California.
