Naomi (actress)

Naomi Russell (born September 25, 1983) is an American pornographic actress.

Personal life and career

Naomi was born in Los Angeles, California. She has stated that she is Jewish and her father was a rabbi. Before entering the porn industry, Naomi had never had sex with a woman. Over the course of her career, Naomi has performed in more than 250 films, many featuring these practices. In 2007, she won the Adult Video News (AVN) Best New Starlet of the Year award. She was not present to accept the award.

Later, in an interview with AVN, she indicated that she had other things to do on the day the award was presented and professed not to see what the big deal was. It was in this same interview that she announced that, prior to her career in pornography, she had never engaged in anal sex. Her first anal scene was in Naomi: There's Only One. She credited the industry with helping her discover that it was a sexual activity she enjoyed. She offered a similar account about how becoming a pornographic actress introduced her to girl/girl scenes and the pleasure they brought her. She also expressed resentment about critics who focused on her weight fluctuations after entering porn and explained that, pre-porn, she was an athletic and lean person by nature.

Naomi (album)

Naomi is The Cave Singers' fourth album, released March 5, 2013 on Jagjaguwar.

Track listing

Press Release

There's no tomorrow / Set a place at the table If every story is a story about love, what of suffering, surrender, and redemption? Life says they're in there too. Along with traffic jams and dishes, jobs and sunsets and spilling all the red wine on the floor. All of it.

Naomi, the fourth record from Northwestern mystics The Cave Singers, is a totem to these things: the every-, any-, all- ways of life. Written over the span of ten months and recorded in one, it bears a new and more expansive production style that captures the live performance energy the band has developed over the past five years. The disc was engineered and produced at Avast Studios in Seattle by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Built To Spill, Shins, Modest Mouse). Each song on the album functions like a chapter in a bigger story, addressing themes of the past, exhuming the memories under moonlight. There are songs of addiction, car ownership, fireworks, tree houses, moving to New Mexico, and God, each shifting in all the ways that make life difficult and miraculous, astounding and beautiful.
