Ranked #19 in AVN's Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time. Raised in Texas and throughout Southern California. Was porn star Jeanna Fine's girlfriend. She is one of the most notorious, controversial porn stars of all time.Suicide, 23- A dancer and model before entering the porn business in 1993, Kristi Lynn's on-screen persona was that of the regal, aloof "ice queen" who, before the video was over, had turned into a full-on nympho, taking on any and all comers.
Many of her films were made for producer/director John Stagliano, who also became her boyfriend. The relationship ended in 1995. According to friends, even though she and Stagliano continued to live together after the breakup, Kristi apparently didn't take it well. She became severely depressed and began drinking heavily.
On December 4, 1995, she and a girlfriend were returning from a night of partying and drinking and were speeding on a twisting road near Calabasas, California, when she lost control of the car, which flew off the road and plunged down a 150-foot ravine.

Jeanette Dee Rogers was born January 17, 1962 to an enlisted sailor and a teenage mother, JoAnn Skeeter in Norfolk,Virginia. The sailor took off before the baby's arrival. A young Marine named Markvart married the pregnant JoAnn instead. The couple divorced soon after.
For a while, JoAnn Markvart raised Jeanette in an apartment nestled among the honky-tonks of East Ocean View, Virginia, but she eventually sent the girl to live with relatives in Bent Creek, in Appomattox County, Virginia. Jeanette bounced between Norfolk and Bent Creek for the next several years.
Before long, JoAnn married another sailor, Joel Anito, and had two more children, Priscilla and Joseph. JoAnn Anito became troubled by her firstborn's visits. An angry Jeannette set the laundry on fire. She spiked her mother's bath water with broken glass.
JoAnn Anito stated "A psychiatrist told me that when she came home, if I had any knives or anything, I should secure them because she was capable of killing me. They told me that when she was about 7."
Jeannette quit school in seventh grade. At 15, she was pregnant. She married her baby's father, who lived near Bent Creek, and became Jeanette Moore, but the marriage didn't last. When her son, Brian, was still a baby, she left him with her husband's parents and took off.
When she was in her late teens she bought a motorcycle and spent her off hours running with a gang. At a North Carolina bar, she was jumped by other bikers and dragged into the woods. They broke her ribs and even shaved her head. Years later, she told of having been kidnapped by a rival gang, too, and held prisoner for months.
For years, she traded on her body and charms. Jeannette had a body, lithe and firm, which she loved to show off. Her family says she traded favors for cash with a Bent Creek neighbor while still a preteen. Once her mother had her institutionalized, and she performed stripteases in the hospital. Using her beauty, she got men to give her money, jewelry, and even a Corvette. She worked Norfolk's go-go bars.
When she was 18, she headed to California to make movies. She moved west and got a house in the San Fernando Valley. Out of this was born the personality "Rebecca Steele". She had earned an international following as Rebecca Steele, a centerfold model and actress in scores of X-rated movies. Her endlessly alluring good looks were sure to please, but it was her energy and spirit that kept fans coming back for more.
Rebecca Steele movies tended to be the sort the porn industry turns out by the hundreds; shot in bad light, with bad sound, on cheap tape, with little thought given to plot or actual acting. Performers weren't paid well, though some, like Steele, earned more by agreeing to onscreen acts that others refused. Adult Video News, the trade paper of the porn industry, estimated that adult film performers engage in as many as 50 sexual contacts per workday.
At the time Steele made most of her movies, male performers rarely used condoms, and testing for sexually transmitted diseases among her co-stars was not the routine it is today. Sometime in the early 1990s, she was infected with the HIV virus. Apparently unaware of her illness, she moved to Hawaii to dance. Many adult film performers join the stripping circuit, where a performer with a national following can make thousands of dollars a week. She made bigger money as an exotic dancer in Hawaii. After seven years in Honolulu she moved back east, to bounce among Norfolk, New York and Florida. She stripped, raised pit bulls, and kept snakes. And she fell ever deeper into drugs. She was jailed in Florida on a cocaine charge in the mid-1990s. She lived large, dressed well, and partied without a care.
But these times didn't last, and she wound up back in Norfolk with little to show for all her life and acting. She was flat broke, on the run from creditors, and half a step from being homeless. She had fallen into drugs and spent days in a chemical fog. Also, she was suffering from full-blown AIDS.
By the time she turned 42, Rogers had been through so many marriages that her mother couldn't name all her exes. In the mid-1990s, She married yet again, becoming Jeanette Rogers.
In 1999 she was back in the Virginia Piedmont, with another husband. The marriage broke up, and she moved in with one "J.D." On Christmas Eve, 2000, he threw her out of his car on a roadside near Crewe, VA. She sought help at a truck stop where Rick Mills was sitting in his car. Mills agreed to drive her to Norfolk the next day.
In the late spring of 2001, the couple moved to an apartment on Norfolk's Willoughby Spit. Rogers and Mills got construction jobs on a new department store, and for a while the money was good. But both used copious quantities of cocaine and other drugs. The cash didn't last. The couple bounced among Ocean View motels and apartments, growing ever more lost in drugs.
Eventually, Mills moved to Richmond without her. He got work. He cleaned up. But he had started to miss her and went to her. The happy reunion gave way to another bout with drugs.
Miserable, the couple attempted suicide together in Richmond in April 2002; they split a 100-count bottle of Carisoprodol, a prescription muscle relaxer. They both woke up in Chippenham Hospital. Once released, they lived for a while in another motel, then moved back to Norfolk.
Around the same time, she began to complain of chronic diarrhea, and in short order dropped to 90 pounds. A thrush infection bloomed in her mouth. The symptoms went undiagnosed until she and Mills tried to donate plasma at a Wards Corner clinic in the fall of 2002. Then she found out she had AIDS.
While Mills checked himself into a hospital in July 2003 to straighten out. An emaciated Rogers began abusing the prescriptions written for her by doctors treating her AIDS. In the fall of 2003, she overdosed on pills four or five times. The AIDS medicine appeared to be working. She put on weight.
Whatever odd glamour Rogers had enjoyed earlier in life clearly was vanished from it now. She and Mills lived in a room at the M.D. International Inn. They ate meals she cooked in the room's microwave. Her life kind of deteriorated. All she had were a few things in a bag.
On Friday, Jan. 16, Mills picked up Rogers' prescriptions, and she immediately dived into a bottle of Carisoprodol. She passed her birthday in a stupor.
Her death came two days after her birthday, on the floor of a worn motel room on East Little Creek Road in Virginia. On January 19, Mills left for a roofing job. On his return, the motel manager told Mills he'd discovered Rogers incapacitated in a hallway. Mills found her cross-legged on the floor of their room, surrounded by strewn clothes. Of the 100 pills in the bottle, 13 remained. He called for help. Norfolk paramedics arrived. She told them she didn't want treatment and signed a form saying so. The rescuers left. Just before midnight, Mills woke and found his fiancee lying on the floor. The same paramedic crew returned to declare her dead.
Her obituary, two sentences long, failed to mention her peculiar fame. Only a handful of people turned out for her funeral. No one from the movies, no co-stars or directors or producers from her glory days. Mostly just family, and not all of that; her son didn't make it, either.OD, 42- Charli Waters was a busty and shapely blonde bombshell who briefly steamed up the screen in a handful of hardcore movies made in the late 80s. The naturally buxom beauty first hit the porn scene in 1987 and did a little over twenty X-rated pictures in total during her regrettably fleeting career. She had piercings in her nipples and clitoris. Moreover, Waters worked as a prostitute in between performing in hardcore films; this dangerous secondary job sadly led to Waters being hacked to death by a homicidal john in early 1989.Murdered by client

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.Car accident, 38- It has not been revealed for certain where Arcadia Lake was born, where she went to school or where she died. Ron Jeremy has said she was teaching a college physical education aerobics class before beginning her adult film career. In Show World--a Times Square sex emporium--around 1977, she met Eric Edwards while dancing on the live stage. He claimed to have helped her stop using cocaine while she performed in films with him. He also said she was able to leave a methadone treatment program with his help. They were said to have married in 1980, but jealousies and disagreements followed regarding his multiple partnerships. Of course, without methadone, it was more difficult for her to stay off of cocaine. The money she earned from her successful porn career and her troubled marriage only fueled her return to her habit. Director Carter Stevens, a director of photography on many of her early films, said she "had the most beautiful, clear porcelain skin" complexion he had ever seen. Arcadia had such a clean, wholesome look in her films it was difficult to imagine that she had any drug problems at all. Rumors about her 1991 death range from her being the victim of a Mafia murder to her having faked her death so she could leave the porn world and take a new--and more respectable--name and career. Wherever she might be now, her beautiful dark, jet black hair and unforgettable sweet smile could live forever in the dreams of her fans.
While best known for her role in Debbie Does Dallas (1978), most aficionados agree that her best films were Secrets of a Willing Wife (1979)--in which she played a cook who seemed not connected to the film's main plot--Honey Throat (1980) and Summertime Blue (1979).OD, 34 - Born Karen Bach outside of Lyons, France, Karen Lancaume came from a wealthy family. The bi-racial beauty (French father, Moroccan mother) married at 17 while she was attending college. Even though her husband was a disc jockey and she worked weekends at a nightclub to make ends meet, the couple was soon awash in debt. They saw an opportunity to make a good amount of money quickly by performing in porn films, and in 1996 they both entered the industry. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last past their first film together, and while her ex-husband left the porn industry, she stayed in it. She soon divided her time between making porn films in Europe and the US. She appeared in a documentary about porn performers called Exhibition 99 (1998). It was while making this film that she began to have second thoughts about her chosen career, and after appearing in the controversial mainstream film Baise-moi (2000)--in which she performed hardcore sex scenes--she began to ease out of the industry, finally quitting altogether in 2002.
Karen Lancaume died in Paris, France, on January 28, 2005. She committed suicide by taking an overdose of prescription drugs in her boyfriend's apartment.OD, 32 - Britney Madison was born on 22 March 1984 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. She was an actress.

- San Francisco-born Linda Wong was the first Asian to become a star in the adult film industry. She broke into porn in the mid-'70s--one of her pre-porn jobs was as a staffer in the office of famed San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli--and her sultry, exotic and striking looks and full-throttle performances captivated audiences virtually from the beginning, propelling her into the ranks of the industry's superstars. She worked with the top names in the industry, including John Holmes, Joey Silvera and Georgina Spelvin. In 1981, at the top of her career, she suddenly left the business--supposedly at her then-boyfriend's insistence--but returned a few years later. She died of an accidental drug overdose in 1987.OD, 36

Illinois-born Lisa De Leeuw got into porn because of a boyfriend who managed a movie house that showed X-rated films. At first reluctant, she eventually decided to give it a shot, and made her debut in the classic 800 Fantasy Lane (1979). She quickly became a favorite with fans, who appreciated her lush body, wild mane of red hair and voracious performances. She appeared in many films from what is now called the "Golden Age" of porn, and was one of the first performers to sign an exclusive contract with major adult production company Vivid Video. She won the Adult Film Critics Award for Best Actress in Amanda by Night (1981) and was inducted into the X Rated Critics Hall of Fame. She left the business in 1987.AIDS, 35- Lori Michaels was born on 8 September 1968 in Seal Beach, California, USA. She was an actress. She died on 7 May 2007.Heart defect, 38

- Lolo Ferrari, born Eve Valois, was famous for having undergone more plastic surgery than any other porn star. She had her face lifted, her eyes reshaped, her lips thickened and, most famously, a series of silicone injections ballooned her breasts out to 71 inches, and a record-setting (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) weight of 26 pounds. She was on record as saying that the main reason she had so much transforming surgery was that her mother had continually told her, from childhood, that she was ugly, repulsive and stupid and that no man would ever want her. She proved her mother wrong, to a degree, as she became one of the hottest porn stars in Europe, renowned for her willingness to do just about anything with just about anybody (or just about any number of bodies). In addition to her fame as a porn star in Europe, she also made numerous appearances in nightclubs and on late-night TV and even released a single called "Air Bag Generation". While she hadn't had much exposure in the US, plans were underway for her entry into that market when she was found dead on March 5, 2000, by her husband in their French Riviera home. It was known that she suffered from chronic depression, and her husband stated that not long before her death she had visited a funeral home inquiring about arrangements.
An autopsy showed that she had died of an overdose of prescribed anti-depressant drugs, but further investigation by police scientists revealed that she died of suffocation. Shortly afterwards her husband was arrested on charges of failing to prevent her death. A second medical analysis was conducted in 2007,and he was finally cleared of the charges leveled against him.OD, 37 - Bodil Joensen was born on 25 September 1944 in Hundige, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Tiny (under five feet), sexy, and attractive Irish redhead Teri Diver was born Bonnie Jean Oden on September 6, 1965 in California. Diver became an emancipated youth at age 13 and graduated from high school ahead of her class. She attended college early and majored in behavior modification. At age 18, she started stripping in order to pay her way through college. After college, Diver worked as a school teacher as well as a counselor at the weight loss clinic Nutri-System part-time. When Diver found herself having trouble financially keeping herself afloat, noted adult filmmaker Henri Pachard convinced her to try her hand at porn. Diver first began performing in explicit hardcore movies at age 25 in 1990; she not only acted in a slew of X-rated pictures, but also wrote and directed a handful of porn features. Moreover, She also wrote a regular behind-the-scenes column for the adult publication Oui. She was married to porn actor/director Tom Elliot (a.k.a. Ren Savant) and had a daughter named Brandy Jean (born 1983). Diver died at the tragically young age of 35 from an accidental prescription drug overdose on January 2, 2001.Accidental OD, 35- Chanel Price was an American pornographic actress who was noted for her exceptional height (6'3") and husky voice. She worked as an exotic dancer in San Jose, California, before making the move to Los Angeles to try her hand in the adult-film industry.

Tina Russell was born Linda Marie Mintzer on Sept. 23, 1948, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to John H. and Margaret Ditzler Mintzer. She grew up in Williamsport and graduated from high school there in 1966. Her senior photo shows a mature brunette with a "Laura Petrie" hairstyle, looking more like a future nurse than a porn star. She became one of the best known adult film actresses of the "Golden Age" of porn, admired for her fresh looks and evident enthusiasm for her on-screen liaisons. The Williamsport city directories of 1968- 1970 show Russell living at home and listed as a student, but she moved to New York City to attend New York University shortly thereafter. Along with her husband Jason Russell (born John Sanderson) - several years her elder - she began modeling in sexually oriented photographs and performed in so-called "live sex shows" (the "sex" at the period was usually pantomimed). After appearing in 16mm "stag" loops, Russell began to take small roles in feature films during early 1970s. Russell only really acquired star status, however, after the publication of her 1973 memoir, Porno Star, in which she described - in often glowing terms - her life in the New York adult film industry. She and Jason separated shortly thereafter and Tina's star sank as quickly as it had risen. Rumors of alcohol abuse haunt her later years. On May 18, 1981, Tina Russell died of multiple organ failure at the Tri-City hospital in Vista, CA after having visited her brother in San Diego. She is buried in Resurrection Cemetery in Montoursville, PA, where her father is also buried.Liver cirrhosis, 32- Lisa Melendez was born on 10 April 1964 in Montebello, California, USA.

Mary Millington had trained to become a veterinary nurse, but a chance meeting with infamous London photographer John Lindsay changed her life. Under Lindsay's influence, Mary started to pose nude in dozens of photo spreads in British glamor magazines. From this she progressed into illegally made hardcore porn films. In 1974 she met up-and-coming publisher and film producer David Sullivan, and very soon she became the most recognizable nude model in the UK. Sullivan relentlessly promoted her through his magazines and starred her in his 1977 movie Come Play with Me (1977). The film ran for 201 weeks at one London cinema and broke box office records throughout the country. Other movies followed, but "Come Play with Me" still stands as the longest-running film in British movie history. Unfortunately, as Mary's fame increased so did her reliance on drugs. Hounded by the police and becoming more and more paranoid about her looks, Mary tragically committed suicide on 19th August 1979.Suicide, 33- Actress

A very popular performer in 1980s porn, Trinity Loren was an instantly recognizable figure with her large natural breasts at a time when silicone implants were beginning to dominate the adult film industry. More voluptuous than your average porn princess, Trinity's ample figure and relaxed presence made her a sought-after performer, and she graced over 180 productions. Unfortunately, like too many others in the business who get mixed up in the fast lane of Hollywood (whether in porn or "legit" films), Trinity suffered from overwhelming depression, and died due to an accidental drug overdose in 1998.
Trinity first gained notice from her spreads in men's magazines and further solidified her reputation on the strip-club circuit, flaunting her striking figure and frizzy amber hair. She graduated to hardcore features in 1985. On screen she was a natural, appearing fresh yet relaxed with her co-stars, who often became friends off set. Performance-wise she was just as adept, showing the kind of control and energy that women half her size would have envied. Halfway through her career she married porn star Barry Wood (aka Barry Woods), but the marriage ended in divorce after the birth of their daughter, Tess, near the end of the decade. Soon afterwards Trinity left porn, moved to Texas and tried to make a new life for her and her daughter, but an ongoing legal dispute with Hunter over custody of the child soon put a damper on her plans for a quiet life. Lengthy (and expensive) court proceedings followed, with the unfortunate result that Trinity lost custody of her daughter. After the proceedings, she moved to California to be able to be near her child. The combination of her marital problems, legal troubles and her ongoing clinical depression resulted in her developing an addiction to both prescription and non-prescription drugs. Her fight against the addiction ended on October 24, 1998, when she died as a result of an accidental overdose. She was 34. Ironically, before her death Trinity had been working, as part of her recovery therapy, on her autobiography. She is buried at the Chatsworth Oakwood Memorial Cemetery in Chatsworth, California, under her real name, Roxanne McPherson.OD, 34- Actress

A beautiful young girl, it didn't take long for photographers and agents to notice her and she began modeling at 15. In 1990 she entered the Miss Asia beauty pageant.

She grew up in Williamsport and graduated from high school there in 1966. Her senior photo shows a mature brunette with a "Laura Petrie" hairstyle, looking more like a future nurse than a porn star. She became one of the best known adult film actresses of the "Golden Age" of porn, admired for her fresh looks and evident enthusiasm for her on-screen liaisons. The Williamsport city directories of 1968- 1970 show Russell living at home and listed as a student, but she moved to New York City to attend New York University shortly thereafter. Along with her husband Jason Russell (born John Sanderson) - several years her elder - she began modeling in sexually oriented photographs and performed in so-called "live sex shows" (the "sex" at the period was usually pantomimed). After appearing in 16mm "stag" loops, Russell began to take small roles in feature films during early 1970s. Russell only really acquired star status, however, after the publication of her 1973 memoir, Porno Star, in which she described - in often glowing terms - her life in the New York adult film industry. She and Jason separated shortly thereafter and Tina's star sank as quickly as it had risen. Rumors of alcohol abuse haunt her later years.

Although Florida-born Aja had a short (five-year) career in adult films, it was a memorable one. She only made 80 movies in those four years, but she was a star almost from the beginning of her career. Generally regarded as one of the most naturally beautiful women to have entered the business, her beauty and her habit of plunging headlong into her work helped her become a major fan favorite and earned her awards from just about every industry magazine and trade organization there was. She used her fame as an adult-film performer to enhance her career as a stripper, and after she retired in 1992 she concentrated exclusively on her dancing, and says that she has no plans whatsoever to come back to the porn business.Unknown, 43- Judy Star was born on 8 April 1982 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
