Candida Royalle (October 15, 1950 – September 7, 2015) was an American producer and director of couples-oriented pornography, a sex educator, sex-positive feminist, and pornographic actress. She was a member of the XRCO and the AVN Halls of Fame.
Royalle was born on October 15, 1950, in New York City as Candice Marion Vadala. Initially trained in music, dance, and art in New York, with studies at the High School of Art and Design, Parson's School of Design and the City University of New York.
In 1975 she began her career in porn as a performer appearing in about 25 movies before retiring in 1980 with Blue Magic, which she also wrote.
She wrote regular columns for adult magazines High Society and Cheri.
In 1984, Royalle founded Femme Productions, with the goal of making erotica based on female desire, as well as pornographic films aimed at helping couple therapy. Her productions are aimed more to women and couples than to the standard pornographic audience of men, and have been praised by counselors and therapists for depicting healthy and realistic sexual activity.
She met him in the rain and tears went down
her eyes as they kissed for the first time
It was love at first sight it was wonderful and
nice what it really was, was a suicide
And she cannot find a reason why he stayed
that night with a girl they knew
He said it meant nothing well if that's what he
wants what the hell did she mean to him
And now they're wondering why she can't really
like herself and feel pretty
but he gave her love to someone else
And now they're wondering why she can't really
be herself and feel pretty
but he took too much and now she is gone
Just a bit of time goes and she already knows
whose child she is carrying inside her
