As the only two-time winner of the title Miss Nude Galaxy, I was popular when I first started making adult movies. I was the first actress to start the now popular trend of signing an exclusive contract with a production company, much like the old Hollywood studio days.
I was in the adult movie business for well over 10 years. I have received the "Legends of Erotica" award in 1994, Fan Favorite in 1993, Free Speech Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995, was voted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame in 1990, and won the award for Best Actress in that same year. Most recently, I was honored as one of the top 25 actors and actresses ever to be in the business. In addition to X-rated movies, I have also worked in films with such stars as Tim Allen, Paul Bartell, John Savage.
I was elected president of the short-lived X-rated Actors Association, an organization formed to protect actress’s rights to work with condoms. This group was formed when some talent started getting positive HIV tests.
I wrote a sexual advice column for Cheri Magazine for five years, in addition to penning most of my own movie scripts. After leaving the business, I started writing my own songs for my bands Double Euphoric and Vision Quest.
Having been very close friends with almost everyone in the business who has committed suicide, especially Megan Leigh, who died with a photo of my oldest son in her arms, and Savannah, who loved my deviled eggs, I feel the world needs to know their true stories. Most will be very surprised.
As I have been the only person, to my knowledge, to do audience preference questionnaires at adult movie theaters and bookstores, I feel I know what the audience really wants and is really like. I have met them repeatedly face-to-face from Quebec City to Milan, to Auckland and Sydney and every state in the union. I’ve heard the audience on the dozens of talk shows I have been on, I understand their questions and how they think. This book is for them and everyone else who ever wanted to hear an insider’s point of view on the industry.
Not since Linda Lovelace has an actress been able to completely speak out about her experiences here. Alex Jordan was writing her book when she committed suicide. Many comic books have been done by and about the lives of several actresses in the business, but this book is a very complete, detailed story of my life. I have kept nothing back.view less
