As Lincoln said, they gave "the last full measure of devotion" to us, having worked in a risky business for our entertainment... This video is dedicated to Joseph Silakowski of "LA Hot" and Joe Gallo of "Pharoah's" in Las Vegas, two experts on adult films and veterans of CES. I wish I could have checked with them first before making this list. ;) This video has some in'eresting tidbits on the stars, who millions have seen and admired over the decades. Some stars didn't make the cut here. This is my judgment. Yours may differ. Not included here: SAVANNAH, who seemed to phone in every scene, despite her looks. Other cuts included Brittany Madison, Shauna Grant, Megan Leigh, de Mae, Pozzi. Please comment on who you think is deserving. They may make a future list.Another honorable mention is Gloria Leonard. She "is a legend who proved that a woman in her 30s can become one of the world's best-loved porn stars. She made her debut in 1974 and appeared in some of the adult industry's best known flicks, including All About Gloria Leonard, Roommates, Maraschino Cherry, The Opening of Misty Beethoven, and the Taboo American Style series. Gloria gave us at least 70 steamy, sexually charged performances in porn films until her retirement in 1984. She also directed All About Gloria Leonard and Two Hearts. In recognition of her sexual talents and her historic status as a Golden Age adult film star, Gloria was inducted into the Halls of Fame for both AVN and XRCO. When she wasn't in front of the cameras, Gloria was busy running the magazine High Society and she is credited with being the creator of phone sex. Gloria was the director of The Adult Film Association in its last years and became president of the Free Speech Coalition in 1998. Gloria Leonard is counted among the most beloved and respected members of the porn world. Sadly she passed away in February 2014, but there is no doubt that her erotic performances will keep her alive in the minds of adult film fans." --AEBN.com The info for Aja at 3:30 should say, "1963--2006, age 43." Viper died on "24 Dec 2010 at the age of 52 from lung cancer. Stephanie Patricia Green was born Sept. 12, 1959, in Tennessee. After six years, Green was expelled from the Corps for fraternizing with her superior officers, and worked a year in Baltimore as a prostitute and an entertainer at “The Block” nightclub. She got her trademark tattoo from tattoo artist and street gang member Harry Von Groff in Philadelphia, described as “…a snake poised to strike her left nipple, that morphs into a tiger composed of interlaced skulls across her belly, and finally reanimates as a snake snapping at her clitoris.” In 1986, Viper moved to Los Angeles to enter pornography, where she met Bill Margold, already an influential pornographic actor, director, and agent. They lived together for five years, and Margold describes her as the love of his life. She made a total of 70 hardcore pornography films, her first film with Tom Byron in White Trash, and her last Erotic Heights. She won the 1990 AVN Award for Best Supporting Actress in Mystery of the Golden Lotus, playing a Nazi spy. She made her only mainstream appearance in the 1988 comedy feature Vice Academy, where she played a porn film director. In August 1989, wanting to get more work, she got breast implants, moving from a 34A to 34DD. Margold believes these caused “implant schizophrenia,” driving her to a mental breakdown by September 1990. In May 1991, she left without warning. Her driver’s license, social security card and birth certificate were found on a gravestone in Arkansas, and Margold has not seen her since.”
