Porn now
is a lot more mainstream.

- Fuck, yeah.
- Yes, yes, yes!

It's allowed me to live
a really great life.

Bam! “We're performers

just like the rock and vin
diesel are action performers.

She was
beautiful, her scenes were hot,

and she was a party girl.

The stigma against porn

is kind of what drew me to porn.

The time in
which you might be stigmatized

by casting someone
from the adult film industry

il think is just gone.

Now you have to bring
so much more

to be so much less of a name.

He was the perfect pornstar.

There was
just something very innocent

about us getting naked
and having sex on camera.

That's why I attribute

my longevity to just a lot
of classical movies

from the golden era,
and also a lot of mainstream.

We realize people
have no idea that these are real

flesh and blood people
that're working.

It's porn. You're in it.
That's it.

Adult film stars
are just that, stars.

Most people
can name one pornstar,

and everybody's seen 'em
in action at least once,

and more than that
if they're being honest.

That makes adult film stars celebrities.
Take it from me.

I'm Mr. skin and I filled
my own Internet empire

by sharing naked celebrities
with the world at large.

And tonight we're gonna meet

some of the greatest
adult film stars of all time.

Now, what makes them
the greatest?

Is it their looks,
their sexual prowess,

their longevity in the industry,

their ability to cross over
to the mainstream?

Or is it a combination
of all of these things?

Well, everyone on this list
checks many of those boxes

as we salute the most famous,
most fascinating,

and all around hottest
adult film stars in history.

Let's kick it off with some
of the most popular pornstars

of all time.

When fans name their favorite
adult performers,

these names
come right off the tips

of everyone's tongues.

It's a hall of fame

hotter than anything
in plain old Hollywood.

Fuck me. Yeah. Yeah.

Tori was a very strong performer

that really
kind of blew up very quickly

and became one of those girls

who that year,
those two years won everything.

I know that Tori has won

the back to back female
performer of the year awards.

She's kinky and gorgeous.

You can't get
any better than that.

One of the best
natural bodies in the business.

Um, and when she's on
sexually, wow.

Growing up
and being really boyish,

I never really imagined

that 1 would be a model at all.

Any type of model,
let alone this type.

This industry
really gave me a chance

to be my deviant self.

Curb your tongue, funny man.

She was very good, uh,
in front of the camera.

Like she has that kind
of mainstream believability.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh.

When I appeared
on "ray Donovan,"

um, when I came to set,
and everybody was very welcoming

and very warm and curious
about the industry.

Ooh.

Ricky?

Camera down.

Hey! Ugh!

I really feel like
women's sexuality

has been lost in the dark ages,

and I feel like
it's really starting to evolve.

I want to leave behind

that empowering feeling
for women.

I want women to know
that it's okay to be sexual.

I want women to know
that you can be classy

and graceful and elegant
and smart and sophisticated

and a freak.

Like you don't have to leave
that off the list

in order to be the other things.

If you have all those things
and you're a freak,

you are unstoppable.

I think Christy is a superstar.

I don't think
there's any question.

I think Christy's a big star
for a lot of reasons.

First of all...
She had massive tits.

And that always helps.

And they were natural.

Natural massive tits.

And that helps ever more.

How I became
a star in this business

is beyond me,
but when I look back,

you had to like me 'cause
there were only four of us

to choose from. I was like,

the big titted girl next door.

She was genuinely a very
stunning, beautiful woman,

so I don't think
it was solely just "cause

there was only a few of them.

You know, that first
time was with Ron Jeremy,

I mean, and it was so porno-y.

She knew how to talk dirty
during sex.

She just sort of knew
what was on your mind.

- Do you wanna fuck me?
- Oh, yeah.

Do you wanna stick
your cock in my pussy?

She was a good comedienne.

She doesn't take herself
too seriously.

You get your makeup done,

you suck a dick,
you'd have a catered lunch.

So if it was my choice,
she probably would've been

my number one pick
back in the day.

She had it all.

I'm Christy canyon.

Back in, back in the day,
goddamnit, that meant something.

It was like the perfect storm.

She could act,

she wanted to do it,

her scenes were good,
she had giant boobs.

I just always like morphed into
something else in this business.

I mean, from making films
to dancing

to writing my book
to radio for ten years,

I just showed up, did my job,

had great sex and got my $200

and felt like I owned the world.

I started
doing adult films in 1999.

You know, in the beginning,
she kind of looked like

a vietnamese war vet
without makeup.

You put makeup on her
and she had a soft body

and all natural
and gorgeous boobs.

Because for so long we really
only exploited the sexuality

of people that had fake boobs
and blonde hair.

I feel like tera Patrick

was like just
a magnificent supermodel.

She came off very confident,

and like her body and her
gorgeousness matched it.

You know, we never
really stayed in the adult bubble

when we were marketing her.

We thought we can
get her out there to everybody.

This girl is somebody
that everybody will love,

and everybody did.

She was on the cover of "fhm"
and the cover of "Maxim"

and all the men's magazines.

When I started independently,
I did a lot of Gonzo movies,

and I remember fans
always saying,

oh my gosh, why are you
doing Gonzo movies?

You should be doing
these like big features.

And I was like,
are you kidding me?

I just wanna go and have sex.
It really was about the sex.

I think I was one of
her first girl/girl scenes,

so I was just more nervous
on the fact of, you know,

she's tera Patrick, and she's
so much taller than me, too.

Like my face was at her vagina.

What I liked
about working with vivid

was it was the first time
where I actually

completely got creative control

over everything
I wanted to doin a movie.

She's bright
and she's articulate,

and she's very creative.

Ooh, yeah, right.
Uh, yeah, you're on my clit.

But I've been asked,

would you ever
come back to porn?

What if someone just dropped
a million dollars right there

and said, you and Rocco
can have sex in Egypt

on the pyramids.

I still wouldn't do it.

There was only so far
I could go,

and I feel like ten years
is a good amount of time

and a long time
to be in the porn business.

Seka is amazing.

She's my all time favorite
actress of that era.

She's very glamorous.

She was strictly business.

All business. Very smart girl.

She kind of reminded me
like of a trashy version

of Marilyn Monroe.

Would you like to suck on
my tits, huh, right there?

Ooh.

What made me different
than anybody else at the time?

For one thing,
I was the first platinum blonde.

I mean,
there were other blondes,

but not screaming blonde hair.

She was working at a porn store,

and she was watching the porn
and thought to herself,

I could do way better than this.

They have really dirty feet,

and they've got
pimples on their butts.

I said, this is really nasty.

I went and made
my first adult movie,

and I don't think there
was even sound at the time.

It was in color, though.

I mean, I'm old,
but I'm not that old,

soit was in color.

And having owned
adult bookstores,

I knew the stars in the business
when I went on set,

and 1 just felt like
a big piece of meat on a hook.

"Prisoner of paradise"
was kind of fun.

I played a German Nazi bitch

with a really bad German accent.

But I thought,
no, she's a Southern girl.

How's she gonna do a Nazi?

But she did.

Don't you cum in me,
you American swine.

Don't cum in me,
you American swine.

J oh, seka j

j tried on some sexy clothes j

the film itself, "inside seka,"

was an incredibly popular film

simply because it was one
of the films that had been made

sort of when that porno chic
period was ending.

And the reason
why they were so important

is because
they were star-centric.

Seka has sex
with about 20 different guys.

She also was given
$10,000 as her pay.

Around 1982, I decided
to stop performing.

Aids was starting to become
a real big issue for me.

I'd worked for "club" magazine
after that for about ten years

and I traveled
around the world stripping,

and I had a great time
and made abuttload of money.

I always thought she looked like

Raquel Welch
when she was younger.

So she was beautiful,
her scenes were hot,

and she was a party girl.

That's a really good combination

for a superstar.

She wasn't about making movies.
She was about fucking.

She would show up
and just want to have sex

and do her best at that.

We can lay music
over this, right?

- Yeah.
- Great.

You don't mind just fucking me.

Action.

The pickin's
weren't like it is today.

It's not like now
where the beautiful hot chicks

are a dime a dozen.

So I was fresh meat.

I was excited about my work.

January of '89

I had my first contract
with vivid

on the back of a cocktail
napkin at the tropicana.

It was that simple.

Tori welles was one of the first

home video stars of her era.

She was then contracted
with vivid,

who loaned her out
to Andrew Blake

to make "night trips."

The idea of "night trips"

basically came from
my art direction

and fashion design background.

And, uh, 1 just wanted to make

with the most beautiful talent

that was available at the time.

He really made her the star like

putting her in almost
every single scene.

It was one of a kind,

and it was the most beautiful
porn every made at that time.

She was like
pure sex and a mile wide.

It was very transformative
during that period,

and she was at the right time,

the right place,
with the right people.

The success of "night trips"

it just happened before my eyes,

probably because of the beauty

and sexual prowess
of Tori welles.

I made a name accidentally,

but because of
the drug addiction

and because of the felonies

and because of things like that,

you're not always able
to move on,

you know, so you come back
to the adult tit,

so to speak.

I mean, I had gone
from being Tori welles

to like being a P.A.

It's like
talk about humiliating.

So, you know,
some of it was good

and some of it was bad,
you know.

Some of it was stupid.

You know, you don't
get into this business if,

you know, you're completely
got your shit together.

You just don't,

and I don't care
what anybody says.

Uh, I actually
started working at Hooters

when I was 17 years old.

You were supposed to be 18,

but I kind of was naturally big.

Somebody was trying to scout me.

They were like,
why haven't you done "playboy"?

And I was like,
I'd rather do porn.

And I flew out to L.A.
literally it was on a Friday,

and by the time
I came home Sunday,

I had a signed contract
with digital playground.

She was almost a star
from the moment we signed her.

So it wasn't so much a matter
of making Jesse Jane a star.

It was just a matter
of showing the world.

And at the time, seymore butts

had his show, "family business,"

so he followed me around
like a little puppy dog.

I have finally tracked you down.

Do you know how many times
I have seen you?

Every time you catch my eye

and I wanna zoom up over to you,

but you disappear
as quick as you appear.

And now that I just saw you,

I just feel like, I just felt
like I just had to like get you

while I knew you were cornered.
Are you planning on...

Honey, I need you to do an interview.
Come do an interview.

And then from then,
they were like,

yep, she's made for porn.

She's definitely, you know what?

We made a right decision.

It's mine to ride
when I'm fucking you.

Oh, yes.

I want the whole package.
I want it all.

I wanna be the next star.

Like the team
that I had behind me,

like the marketing
and everything was genius.

Marketing her was simple.

I mean, one image would elicit
so many responses

from the media, and then once
people met her in person,

you know,
she never disappointed.

I saw her do a girl/girl
in the "pirates" movie

that was really intense.

It was basically
like sex fighting,

and I've never seen
anything like that.

- Fuck, yeah?
- I wanna kiss you.

Yeah? Slap me harder.

Yeah? Yeah?

I think that's sort of the
quintessential Barbie almost.

Barbie's been everything.
She's been an astronaut.

She's been, she's been
everything in between.

So, yeah, there you go,
the ultimate porn Barbie.

It's all I wanted. Like I wanted
to be known as the sex symbol

you'll always remember.

That when I get out
of the business,

you'll still know the name
Jesse Jane.

The average lifespan

of an adult
female performer's career

is less than two years,

but this next group of stars

have careers that span from 20

to over 30 years.

Now, why have these knockouts
lasted in an industry

that always looks
for the next big thing?

Because these are
the golden goddesses

whose beauty, passion,
and raw sexuality

transcends all elements,
including time.

One of the reasons
for my longevity

is1 just would not leave

when they all wanted me to
after five years.

Once I hit 30,
they sort of, I mean,

I got the avn lifetime
achievement award in 1989.

It's like you trying
to tell me something?

When you watch her fuck on film,

it is genuine.

She also just has that
something, that star quality.

Nina hartley really resonates
with so many people

that have become
her ardent fans over the years

because she's so accessible

and she's so honest

and she's so fearless.

I've been able to
maintain a 30-year-plus career

because I basically
love the work.

But the first time
I saw sex onscreen

my inner cookie monster
just said, "me want do that."

Like she had a, uh, kind of
a cameo in "boogie nights"

that like she really showed
what she's made of

when she does a little bit
more mainstream stuff.

She played William Macy's wife.

She was kind of a sexual
free spirit in the movie.

She cuckolded him
many, many times.

What the fuck are you doing?

What the fuck
does it look like I'm doing?

Can you close the door?

That's my wife, you asshole.

For a sex worker,
when they try to go out

and give sex education,
to be taken seriously,

I think no one is taken
more seriously than Nina.

There's her vagina,
her urethra, and her clit.

So how can I be a feminist
and be a sex worker?

The bottom line
is my body, my rules.

And the message on that was

whatever you wanna do is okay.

That women should not be judged

for being in this business
and being on set

and having sex with a
different person every day.

The energy coming at
me, the laws coming at me

from both the religious right

and the so-called feminist left

are exactly the same.

They're prohibitionary.

Um, one doesn't want me
to have an abortion,

and one does not want me to sell

the services of my vulva
for money.

I'm a trojan horse
for queer culture.

I'm a bisexual, I am kinky
and all these things,

but I dress up normal,
I look very straight,

and my most fun times

are when I get my face

between the legs
of a gay-for-pay girl

and get a real response
out of her.

It's like, yes, 1 am that good.

Her being with
wicked for so long

was a lot of the reason
for the longevity in her career

and her evolution.

I think she's hotter now
than she was 15 years ago.

But then when you go beyond
her physical aspects,

she's a good voice and
an advocate for our industry.

Because Jessica has been in

so many blockbuster
adult movies,

she's one of the few
modern adult stars

recognizable
to the average consumer.

Oh, fuck.

I was a stripper.

I had the luck
to run into blondage,

which was Janine and Julia Ann.

And I saw them onstage
and something clicked.

Yeah.

A few people from wicked
called me,

and then I agreed
to sign with them.

And I also came to realize
that the more

I personally
have to do with the movie,

the happier I am
with the outcome.

So she won best actress

and won this great
hardcore scene award.

And I think that defines Jessica

along the way as well.

Even at adult star signings,

women are getting in line
and telling her

their sex concerns
and issues and problems.

And then they started
asking me for sex advice,

so I saw this opening

for a different kind of sex-ed

or a different kind
of instructional.

Jessica Drake is unique.

For one thing,
DVD sales are dying,

and her movies still sell great.

She's a spokesperson for wicked,

she's a spokesperson
for the entire adult industry.

She's a successful sex educator,

has had a ton
of mainstream appearances,

and, oh, by the way,
still has time

for all her philanthropy.

So she's truly unique
amongst today's stars.

Working with her, the
scenes were over way too quickly,

and then, of course,
I'm masturbating in my car

thinking about her driving home.

But, pfst, sex with Kylie?
Perfect.

She's just such a strong,
powerful, um, artistic,

and visionary woman in my mind.

You know, if she wanted
to come back and do films now,

which I would absolutely
be there if she would,

she could and she would kill it

just as if it was ten
or 15 or even 20 years ago.

Soi suppose you could say

I started kind
of in this business,

but not in this business
when I worked in a video store

in San Diego,

and I was in charge
of ordering adult movies.

And they said, okay,
this is Randy west

you're gonna be
working with him, I'm like,

yeah, okay, I know who you are.

And I was extremely nervous.

I never thought
in a million years

that I would win
best new starlet.

I was thrilled
that I was nominated.

Kylie Ireland.

And I have to thank
all the people

that have believed in me.

It was '95 maybe that I signed
a contract with sin city.

We started shooting movies,

and we were supposed to do
like basically

I think it was a movie a month.

And suddenly
none of us shot anything.

I decided I was gonna go
to small claims court.

I didn't realize at this point

that that's where "judge Judy"
picked up their cases.

You are about
to enter the courtroom

of judge Judith sheindlin.

Kylie Ireland
is an adult movie star.

She's suing this producer
for breach of contract.

- She's not some airhead.
- Thank you.

And I'm awarding $5,000
to the plaintiff.

Remember, there was
no Internet at the time.

Adult stars didn't end up
on reality shows.

That catapulted her
to another level.

She was already popular,
but now she's,

mainstream people are going,

well, who's this women
on "judge Judy"?

That's when I started
doing production design.

I just always wanted to say,
I won art direction,

and that didn't happen
until we did "star wars xxx."

I find your lack of faith
disturbing.

My life is so weird.

Sometimes I just sit here
and I go, my life is so strange.

How bizarre is my life that this
is what I'm doing right now?

Up till now, we've met some
the greatest female stars

of all time.

But you may be asking yourself,

where are the men?

Okay, let's bring on
the biggest studs,

in every sense, in the history
of the adult business.

We start with John c. Holmes,

whose claim to fame
rested between his legs.

- Are you really twin brothers?
- No, not really.

Same father, different mothers.

Oh, what a mess. Will someone come
here and change the sheet here?

Oh, this is disgusting.

Oh, that's the same hand,
isn'tit?

- Yeah.
- Oh, god.

John Holmes definitely
impacted pop culture.

And especially in the '70s,
he was it.

He was like a sight to see.

14 inches.

And they all wanted to see it.

That's what John was.

He was a freak.

I was sitting there editing

and my partner comes out
and he says, Bob,

you gotta come in
and see this guy's dick.

Wow!

I said, man, that's
the last thing I wanna do

is see a tall skinny guy's dick.

I can't paint and I can't draw
and I can't sculpt.

So I have to have some outlet
for my fake artistic qualities.

My name is Johnny wadd.

I'm a private detective.

It was one of those slow days

where there was very little
money and very little pussy.

Basically they
get involved with me

for one of one reason.

And, uh,
it doesn't go beyond that.

He quite literally
didn't have to do anything

but be John Holmes.

He came onto camera
and he sat down

and he leaned back
and the girl did what she did.

He would say,
how much film you got?

And have my cameraman
could count down

and he could cum on cue.

He was that good
back in the early days.

Not so much later.

Why do you stay in the bathroom

for five hours at a time
on sets?

I don't know.
It's a shitty habit.

There was a time
when he was very troubled.

He'd been using drugs a lot,

and the reason we shot
"prisoner of paradise"

on kauai was because I thought

if we can get him
away from Los Angeles,

it might help him, and it did.

His goal in life was just to see

how many people
he could fuck over

as fast as he could

and get out of town
without getting killed.

On the wonderland murders,

Eddie Nash was this very big
drug dealer,

and John had hooked up.

Uh, they heisted all the money
and all the drugs from Eddie,

and Eddie found out it was John

who got him in trouble,

and Eddie said, John's dead.

He's like running around the
country evading police.

They catch him Florida.

He's in jail
and there's petty theft

and there's burglary
and then there's drug dealing

and there's pimping and then
he's prostituting himself.

He's prostituting
his girlfriend.

He's all over the place
doing whatever he can

to basically keep
this habit alive that he has

that I don't think
he ever quite overcame.

We the jury,
in the above entitled action,

find the defendant,
John Curtis Holmes,

not guilty of murder.

When it came out that he did
have aids, the shit hit the fan.

In the industry that's pretty
much the worst thing you can do.

You're jeopardizing
people's lives,

and especially back then.

Aids was a death sentence.

It wasn't something you managed.

He just told them
he had the flu.

Typical of John
to lie to everybody.

Thank god none of them got sick.

He was the ultimate gigolo,

the ultimate playboy.

The ultimate con man,

and that's what he was.

Let's go.

I want you to brief me
before I get involved in this.

Yes, sir.

He's a consummate professional.

He's one of the few guys

that's had a great balance
between, um, chemistry

and, and raw sexual energy.

You know, like he's found a way

to be a black man
and not come on set

with like, you know,
a bunch of chains and jewelry

and like an entourage, you know.

He comes in, he has a hard dick,

he lays it down and, you know,

he leaves a smile on your face.

And it's so funny,
"cause he's the sweetest guy.

Like he's just really mellow,

and then all of a sudden,
he pulls out this monster.

Very early out
of college I got into finance,

and so I became the proverbial
wall street stockbroker

for six years.

The broker that trained me

brought me to a party,

which was a 19-on-1 gangbang.

So I got kind of used to having
sex in front of people

at a very early
part of my adulthood.

That's why a lot of people
buy his stuff,

'cause they're like,
I wanna watch Lex specifically

fuck girls.

It was just me being myself,

but the key ingredient
was the casting.

Always the absolute best
female talent

available at the moment
we were shooting.

I think that he is the most
successful black performer ever

because he's just so consistent
and so driven.

I won male performer of the year
2000, 2002, and 2003,

and one of the things
I've gotten out of it

that has been perhaps
more impactful in my life

has been that I've been
the only black performer

to have won
performer of the year award

male or female.

He's probably one of the few
successful black performers

that owns his own company,

and to me,
that was very inspiring.

For Lex to take his name

and then spin off
and do other things, you know.

He has his own podcast.

He has his own talk show,

you know,
he has his own toy line.

I'min my 15th year

in the major leagues, right,

and it's not really a case

where I feel that I'm getting
tired of performing,

you know, despite the fact
that I may now be

more than twice the age

of some of the youngest
performers I work with.

I love the fact that, you know,

I get to do this.

And there's actually
a renewed vigor

for performance
that I'm undergoing

because I've gotten to the point
where I realize

there's only a few guys globally

that get a chance to perform

and be regarded
as the main dudes.

I appreciate being a performer

more now than when I
started my career.

Yeah, when I started in Europe,

so the three first years
I did only in France.

Soi had to make a choice.

I was done with school.
What doi do now?

Like am I starting
being a teacher

or if I do that, I'm gonna
have to really focus on that.

He's just very controlling,

but passionate in the same way.

He's one of the few men that
I will let be rough with me,

and take me into that level.

I think that
he's the perfect performer

for every girl to work with

because he teaches you
a lot about yourself

while working with him.

People started doing
like the rough stuff

and the Gonzo things,

and he kind of like
threw himself in headfirst.

Once the sex started,

it just like
seemed to go really naturally

and it was easy to just like
tell him like,

oh, I have no limits.
You can do whatever you want.

It was really cool.
It was like a rollercoaster.

Oh, fuck, yes. Yes, yes.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, the first
time I had sex with Manuel,

I was super nervous.

I was shaking
and he had to keep asking me

if I was okay and if I could
go through with this.

I was like, yeah, you just don't
understand you're a huge deal.

Like when I was 18, I was
watching you fuck other women.

I'm gonna cum.

I've done so many scenes
with Manuel,

it kind of blurs together.

At the point, you know
when you're gonna die

and your life
flashes before your eyes?

It would just be lots of dicks,

but Manuel
would be in there a lot.

So I won avn male performer
of the year six times.

Uh, one of them I think was, uh,
foreign performer of the year.

Like it's like basketball.

Like everyone can play
basketball.

Not everyone's gonna be Kobe.

We're talking about
good sex down here.

Rocco's up there, you know.

Just like doing
all sorts of crazy

passionate, hard fucking.

And my first movie with John
was "buttman ultimate workout."

John, you know what kind
of girl I like.

I like a girl with
the big, round, culo ass.

This is the most
successful series I ever done.

I mean, John for me

has really been a mentor.

I think every male performer

has Rocco in some way
as a role model.

He just exudes sexuality,

and you can't put your finger
on what that is, right?

That's just a thing.
That's a DNA thing.

When Rocco came along,
you realized,

oh, I can get
a phenomenal sex scene.

He will make this girl
look really, really good.

He'll make her look better
than in any other movie.

Since I was very teeny,
very young,

I had this kind of fire inside.

I remember I was 13,

jerking off, jerking off,
jerking off,

and the doctor, I remember,

was very angry, told me,

hey, man, stop the jerk off.

Otherwise you never,
you will never get better.

His performance was so
different than anything else.

He never broke eye contact.

Well, my first boy/girl scene

was with the infamous
Rocco siffredi.

I didn't know
his type of scenes,

how aggressive they are.

Speaking to me in Italian.
It was great

'cause he, he,
he made love to me.

You know, I did
two movies in French,

which was not porn,
it was mainstream.

It was an incredible experience.

Catherine
come back with the movie

for me as main star.

A gay guy prostitute
for the first time

make love with a woman.

One of the best experience
in my life.

Elegance, style, grace,

sexuality, intensity.

I love that guy.

And when you fuck a woman,

you put your soul.

You don't fuck the girl
just with the dick.

Woman, you need to fuck them
in the brain

if you want to bring
something out of them.

Oh, my god.

In many ways
both positive and negative,

the adult industry mirrors
mainstream entertainment.

Like Hollywood,
the adult film industry

has been correctly criticized
for its lack of diversity.

Performers, directors,
and producers of color

have been too rare
in times past.

But today, performers of color

are starting to break through
more regularly

and controlling
their own careers

both in front
and behind the camera.

These next trailblazers
made that possible

by working through
the inherent prejudice

in the sex business

and forging successful
and even legendary careers.

Misty stone,

so she came across as like

funny, interesting,
vivacious, and cool.

Like totally cool.

And it's really cool
to see a woman of color

in the industry
that's not your typical like

34dd with a gigantic
big old Booty.

And she's like petite
and sensual

and just on fire.

I think I just
fell into the adult films.

After awhile, it became more

of a career decision
because I loved it so much,

I wanted to be the best at it.

The "men in black" parody,
that movie was amazing.

The special effects,
the makeup was outrageous.

So many girls that do girl/girl,

like not to spoil the party,
are not into girl/girl.

I was so nervous,

because, you know, like she's,
she's my mentor like.

When you kind of get
to work with one of your idols,

you're just like,
I hope they're into it.

By the time we
were like five minutes into it,

once we're kissing and stuff,

I felt so there with her.

She was one of those girls

that would like
would flirt before the scene

is in the makeup chair
feeling on you.

Just really immediately
kind of pulling me in.

But now in my personal life,

I got to have some dick, baby.

Oh, I'm gonna cum.

Being a ebony model
in the business,

you kind of have a sort of like
a different journey in a way,

you know, because the
opportunities are different.

You kind of have to really
know how to carry yourself

and know how to present yourself
to the right people,

and I feel like misty has done
that from the very beginning.

When I started, I was told
to follow misty stone

as a role model,
and I'm glad that I have.

It's not based on popularity.

It's, it's, it's based
on your skin tone, baby.

Say a new girl
coming into the industry

and she's very dark skinned.

Well, then you also
have another new girl

coming in the industry,

and she's a little bit more
lighter Skinner.

Well, guess what?

That lighter skinned young lady

is gonna get a lot more work

than the darker Skinner
young lady,

and that's just how it is.

Now, another example would be,

well, we have
this young white girl

who's gonna get 1,500
for this scene,

but I think we're gonna give
this young black young lady

800 for the scene,
and that's just how it is.

Even our own black people
do it to us,

and that's even sadder.

That they downgrade us

when they should be
uplifting us.

She's a character.

I've brought my little
sister to a scene,

and it was back in the day.

It was my first gangbang
I ever didin my whole life.

I just needed support,

and I thought that that's
what family's supposed to do

was be there and support you.

But I don't think they're supposed
to be there and support you

when you're getting gangbanged
by six or seven guys.

Vanessa being the first official
Latin pornstar.

Wow.

She is a true pioneer.

She is a trailblazing superwoman

that I have just,
I can identify with.

You talk about staying power
and star power,

she's, I mean,

she might be one of the most,
you know, the more iconic.

And I guess that's also
has to do with that Latin heat.

Wild, wild fucking.

Nice, nice, very nice woman.

Cubans are wild.

I guess I was, I
was like the first woman of color

in the business.

They saw that
there was a market for it

because I became
so popular so fast.

She had a following
from day one,

and she was smart enough
to realize it

and she was
one of the first women

to get $1,000 a day,

which was unheard of
at that point.

Most of the women were working for
300, 350, in that neighborhood.

Hey, wait a minute.

He's your husband,
and you've got five minutes

to finish him off and go home.

I have to go to work.

I did waitressing.

I did go-go.

I did stripping.

I did hooking.

I did the whole
42nd street stroll,

which was fun.

My first movie was "China doll."

Vanessa del rio,
the inventor of the dp.

I'll take the title,
but I'm sure

that there was
double penetration

going on before me.

Come on, baby. Stick it in.

Come on.

And I blew the cameraman.

Ooh!

In my first movie.

That's what the '70s was like.

I liked the seedy environment

and the way a peep show smelled,
you know,

with the clorox and cum.

The live sex shows
took place at show world.

David Christopher,

I think he had like
a bunch of guys and girls,

like couples that wanted
to see a couple fuck.

Just, you know, being surrounded
by a bunch of gawkers,

you know, men and women.

So if you wanna know
why my clit was so big,

was because I did body building,

and, yes, I did steroids.

Doing the steroids and the side
effects that's I don't recommend.

But having a big clit from it, yeah.
What woman wouldn't?

I mean,
it looks like a little dick.

I suppose it is perverse,

letting them believe
I can't speak english and all.

She would only get typecast
as the, the maid.

No matter how great she looked,
how glamorous.

Very early on,
it was a white industry,

so here I come
with my, you know,

bigger than life
like, you know, big hair

and you know, like that.

And so I was noted
as first latina.

Pretty good, no?

Vanessa del
rio is an inspiration

to girls like me in the industry

that are of Latin descent,
you know,

because she didn't let
that hold her back.

She owned it.

Oh, yess, yes, yes.

Asa Akira is certainly a
character like no other.

So my first job
in the adult entertainment world

was as a dominatrix
when I was 19 years old.

I was just walking
down the street one day

and this guy
just stopped me on the street

and asked me,
would you be interested

in being in the adult
entertainment industry?

And I was like, yes.

And I followed him upstairs
to his dungeon.

The next day, I started training

to be a dominatrix.

So I'm really lucky.

I mean, he could have killed me.

That is her 100% of the time.

She has no filter.

She is the beginning
of what I feel like

what made, made this business
step outside the box.

In 2013, I
signed an exclusive contract

with wicked pictures.

Probably the first girl I signed

that already was a huge star.

Wicked shoots really
beautiful, high budget,

like glamorous stuff.

So the avn awards
were one of the few things

I actually knew about
porn coming in,

so it was really exciting

to be asked to host the event.

That same night
that I hosted the awards,

I won female performer
of the year.

All: Asa Akira.

Oh, my god. Yes.

I wanted this so fucking bad.

I got this theory
that the reasons

there are never
that many Asian girls

in the industry
at any given time

is "cause for most of us,

like the second
our family finds out,

that's it. That's worked
out to my advantage.

Like I got to be in a lot of
movies as the Asian girl.

And I think that's very wrong.

I think she is very much,

whether she was Asian or not
is an amazing performer.

And she really is gonna be one
of the last big stars of porn.

Like I said, she would go to
a shoot to do an anal shoot

and end up doing
a gangbang by accident.

There was a lot of accidents
on her sets,

but I guess happy accidents
for the directors.

You know, like
I always tell people

like I'm the best case
scenario in porn.

Found love. I've found a career.

Um, I've never been
taken advantage of.

Last year
il had a memoir published.

Uh, it's titled "insatiable:
Porn a love story."

And that's like exactly
how I feel about the industry.

It's, it's,
it's been a love story.

Um, as cheesy as that sounds.

The modern adult star

is a much different breed
than those in the past.

25 years ago, tattoos and
piercings were taboo.

Sex acts performed in movies

rarely included bondage,
discipline, or s&m.

Today, some of the biggest
adult stars

are what we might
call alternative.

But even as the alternative

blends into mainstream,

these stars stand out

with their unique styles

and no fears,
no limits approach...

To sex.

- You like my blazer?
- Oh, yeah.

She was going
to make herself a brand,

and she wanted to shoot
hot tattooed girls

and alternative styles,

which was very different from
what you were typically seeing.

Why I think Joanna
is such a big star

is because that she doesn't
try to change her style

where it's like,
well, they're doing that,

so we should start doing that.
It's like,

no, this is what works for us.
And that's what her fans love.

Joanna angel
has always been a person

who I've looked up to
in the industry.

Someone who started
her own business

when she was in college.

Il don't think it was me

that actually came up
with burning angel,

but I did say I wanted

some kind of good girl,
bad girl thing.

I didn't know
anything about porn.

I had never watched a porn.

I knew nothing
about the industry.

I didn't even really know
that porn was an industry.

I mean,
this was 13 or 14 years ago.

There was no Twitter,
there was no Instagram.

You could not just log on
to anywhere on the Internet

and find out
what pornstars do every day.

So I guess I was the first girl

to have her own
hardcore video porn site.

So we got a lot of press
when we first started.

I wasn't expecting
to be a figurehead

for punk and porn and feminism.

I wanted to do everything,

so the first scene I ever did
I had anal sex,

and that was only like the third
time I even didit in my whole life.

It's called
"burning angel. Com - the movie"

here's what happens
when a website becomes a movie.

I don't know
if anyone really got it.

So Tommy pistol, it was his
first scene and my first scene.

He kept asking me if,
if he would have to shave

his ass or not
if he did the movie.

A lot of the sex that we had

was like in places
in New York or Brooklyn,

and sometimes they were
out on rooftops

or in like in school busses

and with a lot of hasidic
Jews walking around

wondering what's
going on in there?

Something I really love
about Joanna

is that she has a really great
sense of humor.

And so she always brings
that piece of herself

into her scenes.

Thank you, kind sir.
And I'll tell you what.

I'll even let you
put it in my butt.

I've now won an avn award

for best sex comedy
three times now.

It's kind of where I've sort of
found my comfort zone in porn.

She also picked up on it
really early in her career

that if she had her own site,

that she wanted her sites
to be the only place

you could find
Joanna angel fucking.

I really hate
the term "alt porn,"

but I do realize

that everything in porn
needs a category.

I got into porn
by literally weaseling my way

into the porn industry,

and I'm still here.

Pick up a camera,
shoot something,

get it out there,
you're in porn.

There it is.

Oh, god, il think I'm gonna cum.

I'm gonna cum.

Skin diamond is easily

one of the greatest crossover,
bdsm, and porn performers.

I think that's probably why
so many people like her

is because she's not afraid
to be herself.

She's just as good at receiving

flogging and nipple clamps
as she is at taking anal.

She's very exotic.

Like she could be
from the future.

She could be from the past.

She could be from pangia.

I don't know.

Oh, yeah. Oh.

I was born in California,

but I moved to Scotland
when I was three

because my dad was a missionary.

I wanted to start modeling nude,

which was a big deal,

because at the time,
my dad had transitioned

from being a missionary

to a children's TV show host.

So it was a, abig scandal.

I mean, ten or 20 years ago

I don't think
somebody could have like

built their entire career
being alternative looking,

I would say.

She understands
being a sex worker in a way

that a lot of the newer
girls don't get.

Not only that, but alternative
sex worker by choice.

Coming from the fetish scene,

you know, it's,
it's Avery misunderstood group.

And then all of a sudden,
I was in this environment

where the dirtier, the better.

Like you wanna do something crazy?
Then let's film it.

I had her like kind of
all tied up and was like

filming her on like a super 8
camera and being really creepy.

And like, I'm gonna be a star.
You're my Princess.

She's the type of person
that you want to fuck

with a gun.

No, I'm not lying.
Don't lie to me.

No.

When I first got in,
everyone told me to,

that, again,
that my look was too extreme.

But it was actually,
it actually worked in my favor,

I think,
because it made me stand out.

I, I think that being
a submissive woman

is a very empowering thing to do

um, because you have to be

really tough,
and in the fetish world,

it's all about consent.

It's not about abuse.

I've been very blessed

in that I've gotten
a lot of mainstream attention.

I've actually got to do
some really cool stuff.

Count to ten.

One.

Two.

Why are you being so gentle?

Oh!

I have a lot of nerdy pleasures,

soi did awhole movie

where I cosplayed
different characters

from the different worlds.

Wind moving through the leaves,

bring me Harry Potter please.

A few years ago, I was featured

in a marvel comic,
the new "daredevil"

as the reference model
to draw echo.

Pretty, pretty cool. I'm sorry.

I gotta, I gotta
hand it to myself.

So against
what a lot of the industry

considers to be all odds,
she's risen further

than most people
can ever dream of rising.

By showing her true self,

I think she's a, she's kind of,
she's kind of my hero for that.

I think it really goes to show

how far we've come

as human beings right now.

Liking crazy sex isn't

as unusual for a girl to like

sucking cock.

Are you not his whore?

Both my parents
were very religious

in the mormon religion,

so I kind of grew up
with that upbringing.

I transitioned from Jesus
to the adult industry

by seeking I think validation.

It's refreshing
to be around someone

that is so comfortable
with themselves and who they are

that it makes you feel more
comfortable with who you are.

She wasn't a fake person
in any way, shape or form.

And I hate to say it,
but in the porn business,

sometimes being somewhat fake
with your emotions

is a necessity.

You think you can handle me?

Yeah, I think so.

Il think I can handle you.

I think you need to bend over.

The thing that led
to belladonna's popularity,

I believe, was when Diane Sawyer

profiled her on
"prime time live."

The hatchet job,

but people had a lot of
empathy for belladonna,

and that opened the door
for her success.

She says
afterwards she was shattered,

but she just
didn't know how to refuse.

Because I didn't know
any better, you know?

I had these ideas of fame
and attention and money.

When she started,

if a girl had a tattoo,

more than half the producers
wouldn't even hire the person

if they had tattoos.

And by the time she finished,

it was a completely
different world.

The attention that
I was getting from my body

was powerful.

You know, it was the first time
in my life I felt like,

wow, like I am sexy.

I got an opportunity
to direct for evil angel.

As a female director

who was really
the one with the ideas.

Because she could be real
in those movies,

and she was in a safe,
comfortable environment.

We were just hanging
out and capture what you capture

and that's it.

You know, I had never
really thought too much

about what I was doing.

I got these opportunities
and I did 'em

and I was very much
in the moment, day to day.

And in the height of DVD sales,

belladonna was a top seller
week after week.

In the 1970s and early 1980s,

when porn was mostly
still shown in movie theaters,

acting was as much a premium
as sexual ability.

Some of the greatest actors from
the golden age of adult cinema

were classically trained.

Appearing in adult films then

became an act of rebellion.

Here now are adult cinema's

most award worthy
dramatic performers.

I am compelled
to introduce myself.

My name is Johnny dooropener.

Howdy, Mr. dooropener.

How did you know who I was?

John was very innovative.

He was the real deal all day.

He actually could act,

and then he could also doa,
a sexual performance,

and I think

to be able to do both
was just a pretty rare gift.

Of all the male pornstars
in the '70s,

he probably
sold the most tickets.

He was the only actor
of that era

that people came to see
because of his acting

and his charisma,

and he was the Clark gable
of his era.

At that time, there was no
material out there, so they had

softcore movies, right,
people had softcore movies,

let's cut in hardcore footage.

They'd cut from
this film of this guy

pretending to fuck this girl,
softcore,

and they'd cut in
me fucking the girl

soyougetalittle in and out.

I did five one day,

inserts and cum shots.

Every time you came, they
gave you another fucking $50.

And I don't know why they
wanted the fourth and fifth one

'cause it was blanks.

He just had a way about him

that was so charismatic.

I would say he's like
the Clint Eastwood of porn.

You just wanted to,
to please him.

He had swag and he was sexy,

and he was,
he was like a ladies man.

And I feel like women wanted him

and men kind of wanted
to be him.

Did I give you enough dick? Huh?

I give you enough dick?

He was the original guy
to talk dirty to girls

to get where he wanted to get.

I bet the police get in
your pants all the time, huh?

But you gotta watch those cops.
They'll fuck you to death.

- You ever been fucked in the ass before?
- Mim-mm.

Are you curious what it's about?
Mm.

It was, it was fun,
it was mostly fun

because we were best friends.

The last two weeks he was alive,

he was hanging at Joey's,

and, uh, they just
understood each other.

Well, to be honest,

I wish John was even more,

uh, had more of an impact
than he was.

That's a big problem
with this business

is that when you are gone
in this business,

you are gone.

I mean, anybody that
can do ten pages of script,

four costume changes,

and three sex scenes

in a ten-hour day, you know,

goes to the top of the list.

- Oh, yeah, fuck her.
- No, I don't think I will.

Oh, fuck her
like you fuck me, Nick.

Making films
was a lot different then,

and it was huge.

Like we would have
big red carpet premieres,

and you would go into a theater.

And if it was a good movie,

you could run
six weeks, two months,

playing the same movie
at a theater.

Could act.

All my friends
from college weren't acting.

I could get paid for it,
and I could have sex.

It was like, oh, yeah.

You always carry around
girl's underpants?

Yeah, I collect them.

Maybe I can give you
some of mine sometime.

Veronica came across
as more intelligent.

She came across as more capable,

and her scenes came off
as very genuine.

One of the most favorite roles
that I've ever had

was in "Amanda by night."

Can you fucking believe that?

Oh, no, no.

Another reason why
I really liked that movie

isi actually won best actress.

Now if I could ask you
a question.

Why did your last
coordinator leave?

She wasn't putting out,
uh, she wasn't putting out

the kinds of results
that we were looking for.

Mm-hmm.

You do have, uh,
quite an employment history.

"Wanda whips wall street."

What a fun movie that was.

They actually made
a straight film out of it

called "stocks and blondes."
We went back and reshot.

You know, Lester, I don't usually
go out with men from the office,

but seeing as you're from
Tyler's Cleveland branch,

I thought I'd make an exception.

Veronica became

the quintessential sex goddess

and the actress.

And she was still managed
to maintain the feeling

that she was your girlfriend
or the friend of your sister's.

I did 13 movies one year,

and they told me
I had ruined my career.

And what it did,
it just made me more well known.

People have a lot to say
about this business,

but where else can a female

do so many things?

I mean, I've done about
everything in the business.

I was able to act,
I was able to direct,

I, could produce,
I'd been a stylist,

I'm still a production manager.

Where else? I know the straight
business wouldn't afford me that.

In a career sense,

good actress, sexy gal,

somebody that you could, uh,

jerk off to
and not feel bad about,

but made you feel good
about being a sexual human being

and who really wanted to connect

and really wanted
to spread love.

Jamie was absolutely
the icon of all time.

And he's one of the pioneers
of modern pornography,

a complete and total deviant.

Creepy, dirty, nasty,

sexy behavior.

He was able somehow to,

to make it classy.

Happened pretty quickly,
because once I started working,

uh, it was like an avalanche
after about a year,

you know, maybe a year.

It was like all of a sudden, I
was the guy, you know, that,

I mean, there was one
point in New York

where I counted 14 of my films
playing in one day.

It's amazing to me

that somebody who is famous
in the end

for showing the raw, real side
of their sexuality

is also an amazing actor.

You know, you pulled off
quite a neat little trick

with that fantasy of yours.

- Does that feel good?
- Yeah, it's just sex.

I am pretty dirty,
though, girls.

You'll have to work hard.

Repent!

You must repent!

God! Please forgive me!

To me, sex was a big drug,
if you want to call it that.

I was really interested
in the sex.

The idea that people were
getting, drinking or taking pills

to, to, you know,

forget the experience
they were having on the set,

you know, or maybe
they felt bad about it.

I don't know
what they were doing.

To me it didn't,
it didn't make any sense to me.

You know,
I was really after the,

the piece of ass
I was gonna fuck.

Men, women, I don't
think it mattered to him.

Jamie gillis may have said at
times that he was bisexual,

but I think the only label

you could put on Jamie gillis
is pervert.

Jamie, um, gillis would not fly.

I remember it was on
a twa flight

and we're gonna take off,

and Jamie tells me that he has
a tremendous fear of flying.

And then he reaches down,
he pulls out a baggie

that's got panties in it
and he says,

this is for my black, black ore.

The plane starts
rolling down the runway.

Jamie opens up the bag

and he starts, he starts
huffing on it, the bag,

and the smell from the bag was
so horrendous and so putrid,

it was insane.

I mean, that was Jamie.
He was a pervert,

so sniffing the panties,

that was like
crack cocaine to him.

"Dracula sucks,"

that was the role
he was meant to play.

The blood is the life.

There are far worse things
awaiting man

than death.

In my heyday,

I was maybe working

maybe one or two days a week.

The rest of the time,
I was just hanging out,

you know,
and I was making enough money

and I wasn't even,
what was that?

You call that work?

You know, a garbage man,
that's work.

And to have a career
that lasts that long,

to be so innovative,
and to really express

who you truly are
as a sexual being

to me is something to be envied.

Annette definitely looked like

she would be
in the mainstream movies.

She definitely did not look like
she was in the adult industry.

She could've been
a Victoria secret model.

She was just so fetching
and a wonderful actress

and serious as a heart attack
and a great businesswoman.

The most amazing thing for me
about Annette haven

is, um, not just like
how beautiful she is,

but also how kind
of innocent she is.

She combined like this
very ethereal personality,

look, and so forth with the sex.

And, uh,
she was one of the first where,

where her name became,
you know, a name.

I wasn't aware
of how popular I was.

I have never been aware of that.

I've never been
aware of how beautiful I am.

I remember being in L.A.
in the summer of '77

and "desires within young girls"

making more money
at the box office

than over half of Hollywood.

I was in slot 14.

Mel Brooks "young
Frankenstein" was in slot 17.

Annette, uh,
was always perceived

as a feminist, and she still is.

As far as I know,

I am the only person
in adult films

who did not do any
of the degrading acts.

The facial ejaculation,
because I don't want

that represented
to the American public

as adult sexuality.

You know what's interesting
about Annette is that

you would almost
kind of not expect her

to be a very good actress
just based off of the fact

that she didn't have
an acting background.

But she is so good.

You said you'd give me a chance.

Aren't you forgetting something?

"Sports life"
is a man's magazine.

But that's just it, you see,

we get all
the women's readership, too.

Finding people who could speak,

who were beautiful,
who had beautiful bodies,

blah, blah, blah,
it was a bit difficult, I guess.

Blake Edwards
approached me for "0."

Blake was very nice,

and invited me
down to Hollywood.

He said, can you get me people who
are naked? And I said, oh, yeah.

So I was the casting agent

and the production manager
for the party scene.

There was something, uh,

just wonderful to watch

Annette haven on film
having sex.

We all have to pretend,
what, our mommies didn't have sex.

Every last one
of our mommies had sex.

Hopefully they enjoyed it.

I want you
to let me see your tits.

How and when did
I meet Richard pacheco?

I think it was some point
in the early '80s.

When he said
that he was writing a book,

he said, will you
write the forward?

And I said I would.

He is family.

He's a nice Jewish boy.

You could take him home
to mom I think.

I had plans of becoming a rabbi,

and they happened
at the same time,

uh, I had my first offer
to be in a porn film.

Soi had a decision to make.

Richard's motivation
was to be an actor,

uh, much more than a,
a sex performer.

By far, Richard pacheco
is the greatest male actor

in adult film history.

Cupid, draw back your bow

and let your arrow

go straight to
my lover's heart for me.

When I met him,
I was kind of freaked out

because my mom and I
enjoyed "playgirl" magazine,

and we had his pinup.

In the 1980s,

if Hollywood
didn't put a Scarlet letter

around the adult industry,

he would have been
the first actor

to cross over
and actually do adult

and then do mainstream films,

like James deen does now.

Richard pacheco won
best supporting actor

for "nothing to hide," uh,

because he portrayed somebody
that was, uh, slow.

But he was really sweet, too,

and it was a very
romantic little storyline.

I love her.

Well, I love miss fernstein
the landlord, too.

That doesn't mean
I'm gonna marry her, does it?

It's not the same thing,
Jack, and you know it.

Fuck love, man!
What are you, a sucker?

"Irresistible" was "bill
and Ted's excellent adventure."

They must have
taken cues from that.

There were so many
different parallels with that.

What province are you from?

You probably
haven't heard of it.

It's called marin county.

They gave me best
actor and best supporting actor.

And, wow. Wow.

Thank you, Jesus.
That was a coup.

It's ironic
that pornstars were discredited

because they were fucking,

"cause you can't fake fucking.

You really got to be there,

and that's
a tremendous achievement

to get yourself real enough
to be able to do that.

Do I think he would've
made it as a straight actor?

Probably, you know,
"cause he's really good.

He knows how to improvise.

He knows how to be
a straight actor.

He knows these things.

I think that's what makes him
one of the greats.

Some adult stars
gain even greater fame

by crossing over
into mainstream entertainment.

Sometimes a scandal
worked in their favor.

Other times, great marketing

or an inherently
irresistible appeal

bridged the gap
between sex stardom

and pop culture acclaim.

These stars blasted
right through barriers

separating the adult business

from big time show business.

Of those big three,

Linda lovelace,
Georgina spelvin,

Marilyn chambers,

Marilyn clearly stands out.

The camera loved her.

But she had this girl next door

like innocent look

that not many girls in porn
back then had.

Well, I answered an ad
in the San Francisco "chronicle"

that said, now casting
for a major motion picture.

I thought, oh, this is a little
bit too naughty for me.

She thought that if she
did a good job in this movie

it would lead toa lot
of mainstream roles for her

because it would show
that she could act.

But also, the amount of money
they were offering was like, mm.

You know, they're like
we really like your look.

Just sit down and talk with us.

And so she actually
negotiated with them

and said that she would do it,

but only under the circumstances

that they give her, um, ten percent
of the film's gross revenue,

which is huge, you know,
like that's insane.

And I said I don't really
wanna know what's gonna happen.

I know it's gonna be
wild and sexy,

and it's gonna be scary probably
for me at certain times,

but I don't wanna know.

When we started to have sex,
it was the kind of thing

where I was like
totally freaked out.

I didn't think I was gonna
be able to do this one.

Then it, there was a
moment where it turned

from terror, hah, to pleasure,

and I really believe
you can see that.

The controversy between me
being on the ivory soap box,

it was a PR man's dream.

It just happened to be
the very same week

that "behind the green door"
opened in the theaters.

So it was just, thank you.

And procter & gamble
wasn't real happy about it.

My favorite scene is the pool
table scene in "insatiable."

I could tell
that it was a hot scene

because when the crew
applauds you,

you know that it's good.

"Insatiable" was one of those
quintessential movies.

Rich girl who is a model

and she just had
this sexual appetite

that nobody could satisfy.

I devote myself to all men

and a lot of women.

She wrote a song for it,

for the movie she did,
"insatiable,"

and she actually sang it.

It's the song that plays
behind the titles.

She did some modeling
beyond that.

She even did dinner theater
in Las Vegas

believe it or not,
the mayor of Las Vegas

gave her the key to the city.

I don't know what it used to
be like to hire an adult actor

in a mainstream type movie.

I don't know if that was a big
stigma that people had to get over.

I assume it must have been.

The biggest one I remember
is when Marilyn chambers

was in cronenberg's film.

And he cast her as the lead

in his movie "rabid."

You gotta come quick.

You gotta come quick and get me.

And of course that
had never happened before.

This was the first time

someone who had been a pornstar,

who was well known as a pornstar

was cast in a major
mainstream movie.

Being Marilyn chambers
has always been kind of,

not a facade,
because I've always believed

that you have to be that
person 24 hours a day.

You have to really believe
in what you're doing,

which I have,
and I've had a lot of fun.

But now that I have a daughter.

Learning all of that
was kind of scary at first,

because like I said,

my mom is my mom,
not Marilyn chambers to me.

So knowing everything
that she's done

and my friends knowing
the things that she's done,

um, is was pretty hard
to get used to.

But there were some funny times
where I'd see her name on hbo

and she'd come running out and
say like, close your eyes.

Don't watch that.

I just don't want her
to follow in my footsteps.

In the end like
I'm just so proud of her,

and she knew that,
so that was my only concern.

I'm not gonna say
that I created porno chic,

but I know
that I was part of it.

And that was a very important
time in our history

where people like Johnny Carson
were waiting in line

to see "deep throat"
and "behind the green door."

And I truly believe
that it's not educational,

but it certainly
can be very helpful

in kind of
helping your sex life.

It helped mine.

He's not, you know,

sort of like
the hulking male pornstar.

Of the "90s
with like the, you know,

like thong tan lines and stuff
like huge pecs.

And he's just this guy,
the kind of guy

that you would have
a crush on in chemistry class.

That's him.

He's the Justin bieber of porn.

So my whole
life is I wanna do porn,

I wanna do porn,
I wanna do porn.

It wasn't a new thing
when I turned 18

to, you know, tell my parents.

So once I explained
all this to my parents,

and then also reminded them
that I still have my money

from when I got bar mitzvahed.

Like I, I'm not the type of guy
who's gonna think,

oh, I made a bunch of money.

I'm gonna go buy a Ferrari
and a solid gold house

and like get a rocket car.

That's also a "Simpson's"
reference.

I met James when he was,

I believe he was 18 years old.

I mean, he was just good.

I mean, we went through
the entire scene,

and then he popped,
and I was like, oh, shit.

We've got to go through
and do the stills.

And he was like, "that's cool.

I'm young and spry.

I can get some more out."

So... and he did,
which was outstanding.

In 2009, I became
the youngest person

to ever win
male performer of the year

from avn, which is a very
prestigious award.

All: James deen.

I had a panic
attack, ran and hid,

and my girlfriend at the time
accepted the award for me.

James, where the fuck are you?

I have heard of the deen-agers.

Deen-agers is invented
by Dana dearmond.

She was the one
who coined that term,

so let's give credit
where credit is due.

Because he's such
a relatable guy,

and he's young enough
for, you know, young girls

to be attracted to him.

What's funny to be me

is there are scenes
that I've done with him

and I'll get tagged
because he's in the scene

and the deen-agers
love James deen,

and 1 just happened to be
an extra body in the room.

I feel like people are
trying to create more of that

"boy and girl next door" look.

But when I first started
in 2004,

it was all about performance.

It had nothing to do
with guys or props.

We don't care
what you look like, you know.

Like why the hell,
who's looking at you?

I have no desire
to do mainstream stuff.

"The canyons"? Hell, yeah.

You have Bret Easton Ellis,

who's an incredibly
talented writer

and you have Paul schrader

who's an incredibly
talented director

and they were like so sick

of the standard Hollywood
structure of, you know,

all the stuff,
and they wanted to do a diy film

that was just for the sake
of making a fucking film.

- Jealous?
- Yeah,

if there are other people involved.
Like guys.

It's mostly girls,
and, no, I do not get jealous

watching my girl
hook up with another chick.

Is this guy for real?
Are you for real?

Which is the most
flattering thing in the world

that the guy that wrote "American
psycho" and "less than zero"

wrote a character for me.

I mean, sometimes these,
these, you know,

people in adult
will get like this sort of taste

of mainstream attention
and decide that they're,

they're gonna move on
and start this whole new life.

Adult films are not
a launching pad into mainstream.

It's just not.

I think there's this stigma
that people in adult films,

they do this "cause they have to

or they do this
because they have nothing else

or, or, and they forget
that we're performers,

just like the rock and vin
diesel are action performers.

Being famous in the adult
industry is useless.

Being a good performer
is what matters.

She was vivid.

They signed her to be
the face of the company.

She was on every box cover.

Well, there was no such thing
as a contract girl

until ginger came along.

She is definitely
a matriarch in the business.

I think she's
the beautiful girl next door.

I do. I think she's
that girl next door

that you've had that crush on
for a really long time

and then all of a sudden just kind
of came into her own sexually.

And you definitely wanted
to bang the shit out of her,

and she never had time for you.

I walked into, uh, Jim south's office.
He was my agent.

Uh, you don't have a portfolio?

Oh, no.
I had my shots in high school.

And I tell him,
okay, I'm gonna do it.

And I want this much money
and I want script approval

and I want cast approval.
He's on the floor rolling.

He said you're not
gonna start that way.

Lunch is served.

I got all my demands met,
and I started thinking,

oh, my god.
What if I can't do this?

My very first film
was "surrender in paradise."

I was fine fucking on film.

Could not get the dialogue
to come out of my mouth.

We spent about four hours
trying to do it.

And I thought
you might be different.

Like all the other guys,

get what you want
and Chuck me out.

So Steven Hirsch was
starting vivid entertainment,

actually at that time,
it was called vivid video,

and they wanted me
to be the star

of all of their first films.

Every day I would
wake up and go,

yes! I'm gonna blow
this guy today.

I'm gonna eat that pussy today.
I'm gonna do this.

And it was exciting for me.

If you stuck with it,
if you became a pro,

hell, I don't think
there's anybody

that could even
come close to you.

Do I look okay?

You look great.

“New wave hookers"
was an amazing film.

Stick your tongue in up
my ass hole and lick it.

Girls next door
didn't do double penetration.

I was, I was the girl next door
who did all the dirty things.

I've done more mainstream
than I have adult at this point.

I need to pee!

What about my hands?
What about 'em?

How am I gonna wipe?
=-I'll help ya.

So I did "vice academy"
one, two, and three.

And each of you
must make ten arrests

in order to get a position
on the force.

My father says
that my badge and uniform

are already waiting for me.

So I like hiring people
where they aleady

come with their weird baggage
of their career or life.

So as soon
as they walk on screen,

you know, be it a ginger
Lynn or a Danny trejo,

you go, somethin's
goin' on there.

She showed up on crutches,
which was kind of a surprise.

My introduction to sid haig

was just being plopped on
on his dirty tighty whities.

- Yes, yes, yes.
- Come on, baby.

Oh, oh, oh, ride it, baby.
Ride it, ride it, ride it.

She started it all.

I mean, without her,
there could not have been

strong names like chasey lain

and Jenna Jameson.

She is the number one.

There are very few women
like her.

Do it!

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Oh, slam it.
Slam that cunt for me.

Ugh! Yeah!

I felt like il could watch her

and see the emotion

not just in her face,
but in her body.

Janine is super hot.

Like super hot,
like supermodel hot.

I asked my husband
if he was okay with it,

and we agreed that women only.

She knew how to turn it on.
She'd been in front of audiences

for a long time as a dancer.

In blondage,
they did their routine,

it was so hot,
like I was completely turned on.

And then they go backstage

and then they
do their real scene

in the behind the scenes,

and I was like, yeah, yeah.

The drugs,
the alcohol involved with porn.

During that time,

there was, and I would partake

and it was not a pretty sight.

You will sink hard and fast
if you go down that road.

She is the person
that made porn feel

not only super mainstream,

but she was kind of like
the rockstar of porn.

Blink 182.

That has got to be my highlight.

It brought in the youth.

So the Vince Neil sex tape.

It was rough,
because at this time,

I hadn't shot anything with men.

But, you know,
it was a shocker at first.

I find it interesting

as like this like
beast of a sexual woman.

She does dudes.

She does interracial.

Please? Please please me.

Finally I said fuck it.

I'm gonna go for it,
and this is what I want.

These are my fantasies.

And that's when I think a lot
of like the passionate scenes

that I had in "pirates,"
you know...

Um,

that intensity was really
starting to come out.

I wouldn't change a thing.

At the time, there was a lot
of glamour and a lot of fun

and a lot of camaraderie.

That was, that was a good time.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh, my god.

Fuck. Yes, yes.

I'd like to think I
was political before, and that was

a large part of my motivation
getting into the industry

was to disprove the status quo

about women, uh,

and, and, and female sexuality.

The more I watched porn,

the more I realized that
this is something I could do

and, and maybe I could bring

something different to it
as well.

When Sasha grey
first contacted me,

this is what she wrote me.

"I hunger for all modes
of sexual perversity.

I'm determined and ready
to be a commodity

that fulfills
everyone's fantasies.

Available for solo,
stills, girl/girl,

boy/girl, boy/boy/girl,

dp, double vag,

interracial, throat gagging,

creampies, bdsm,
fetish, facials,

bachelor parties, and groups
of no more than four."

She's cool.

Sasha is, is deep.

We're remaking "deep throat,"

soi want to meet her.

The new "deep throat"
is a huge movie.

It's important.
It's the biggest movie,

you know, this company
has ever made.

It took us a long time to decide

who could really pull it off,

and it's Sasha.

Steven soderbergh looked her up

and found the MySpace page.

Contacted her through that.

I didn't want anybody
other than Sasha

for "girlfriend experience."

Once I'd spoken to her,

I really felt I wanted
to build it around her,

and I sort of
cast everybody else

based on what
I was getting from her.

I'm very familiar with his work,

and it was flattering,
to be honest,

uh, but also
extremely intimidating.

He's an incredibly
intelligent human being.

I found this, it's kind
of a really interesting

dichotomy with her of, of

middle American upbringing

and sort of extreme interest
and extreme behavior.

Whatever method she found

of reconciling these two things,

seemed to be working for her.

He told me
it would be mostly improv

and wanted me
to be comfortable with that.

So how did it go?

It was fine.
We had a nice dinner.

You know,
went back to the hotel.

But he's very well-endowed,

and sometimes I just can't
handle him that long.

The change, I think,
largely via the Internet

about people's attitudes
about pornography

or just,
just sex videos in general

has just completely shifted
in the last ten years.

Making that leap
from doing hardcore porn

to shooting mainstream movies

with very well known people

is, is almost impossible.

She was like garbo-esque.

So I said, well, if this is
any time to take the jump,

this is it,
and I did it quietly.

It wasn't this big announcement.

I'm not leaving anything behind.
I haven't found Jesus.

I'm not trying to run away from anything.
I'm just moving on.

What made her a great pornstar?

Besides the fact that
she was really good looking,

she was a pervert,

and nobody could bullshit her,

because she was like
usually smarter

than most of the people
shooting her.

Some names
are bigger than others.

And the top two greatest
adult stars of all time

share one thing in common,

they're erotic icons.

They check every box
for what makes a legend.

Longevity? Check.

Mainstream popularity?
Double check.

Sexual prowess? Check.

Looks?

Well, women of the '70s and '80s

found him very handsome,

and men still drool over her.

There are no two bigger names

in the history of adult cinema

than our greatest male
and female adult stars

of all time.

J you're a winner 7

j that's what you are j

j believe it or not j

j. You know
you're really a star j

j and so happy... j

let's talk about fame.

Uh, most famous guy in porn

worldwide
has gotta be Ron Jeremy.

Without ever
having had a publicist,

without every having had
an agent or a manager,

has managed to become

the most famous
pop culture icon.

I mean, he transcends porn.

People don't think of
Ron Jeremy as a pornstar.

People think of Ron Jeremy
as a famous person.

I was there in the golden era,

that's what they call it,
the golden era,

I was there right smack
in the middle of it.

I was going back and forth,
L.A. to New York.

I heard that his dick was so big

that he actually
could like, you know,

go on himself.

Go suck yourself off, she says.

Charming.

I first got into porn
thinking I'd just be init

for maybe just a couple
of weeks, a few months.

See what it's like
and then get out.

So I started doing all
the bigger films in New York.

"Bad girls"
had a cute little story

where I was a boy scout.

Hello.

Oh, my goodness!

Please. What do you want?

I'd like some of that pussy,
if you don't mind.

So he's infiltrated media
in like all its forms,

mainstream and porn.

And he's fantastic.

He's a really good actor.

He's like the essential ham.

As an actor, when he's awake,

great performance.

Adam rifkin
is the nicest guy I know

and the greatest guy I know,
and I have to say this

or he'll stop giving me
parts in movies,

the guy is easy anad he's been more
loyal than anybody on the planet.

I made this movie called
"Detroit rock city,"

and obviously to play the emcee

at the male strip club
was an easy one.

That was our viking,
Patrick Hirsch,

and he's hung like a norse.

Our next amateur
has a name like a bird,

and if you like birds,
you'll like this.

It's just a swallow.

I'd never heard of him
before I got in the industry.

I saw him on mtv,

uh, when he was doing
a reality TV show.

And that's the impression
I had of him,

not as a sexpert,
just him being funny.

I have a feeling

there're gonna be a lot of
people who are dead set against

what I do for a living,
maybe religious,

could be born again, you know.

So I have a gut feeling
that I'm gonna come across

some adversarial opinions
as to my career choices.

In "orgazmo,"
we do a martial art fight.

At the end, he gets
the orgazmo's gun on me,

and I freeze up,
kicks me in the head,

my head literally blows up.

"Boondock saints" is by far

the biggest thing I've ever done

as far as an audience.

Sit the fuck down.

All these stars,
when they see Ron Jeremy,

they drop whatever
they do, I've seen it,

drop whatever they do.
Oh, my god.

Get apicture with Ron Jeremy.

Kurt cobain and Courtney love

went running over to him for an
autograph when they saw him.

George Bush, sr. Was walking
the other way having,

he was just president
of the United States,

as they're passing,
he hears George Bush say,

hello, Ron.

That's why
I attribute my longevity

to just a lot of hard work,

a lot of classical movies
from the golden era,

and also a lot of mainstream.

It's amazing for all the things

that Ron Jeremy
has seen and done in his life,

how he manages to maintain
a sense of innocence.

And I swear to you,

he is a,
he's like an innocent kid

in the body of this...

Hideous monster.

Listen, I'm gonna say goodbye
now while I kiss these nipples.

Look how and they're cold,

they stick out even more.

Why is Jenna so popular?

She was maybe not even arguably

the most successful,
the most well marketed,

the best selling pornstar
of all time.

Jenna might've had a little bit
of that ginger Lynn thing

where she just looked
so young and sweet and innocent

and looked like
the last place she should be

was looking
to get into this business.

And I thought I could
do it better, you know.

I just always felt that way
all my life,

that I was capable
of topping everyone.

That's the shot you'd
see in your magazine, folks,

right there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I read Jenna Jameson's book

"how to make love
like a pornstar,"

and I, I was so attracted
to the industry

from those pages.

Jenna and I shot our first
movie on the same day.

- I'm Kylie.
- And I'm Jenna. I'm 19.

'Cause, I mean,
here's little Jenna

and she's a little blonde,
perfect little tiny boobs,

and she was asking me
about mine.

She's like, where'd you get yours?
They're great.

What doctor did them?

I'm like don't touch those.
Those are perfect.

Look, back in '95,

while the business was starting
to go through a growth,

it was still only two years
into wicked pictures.

I just said, listen,

you can either
jump on the Jenna train

or I'm out,
and this is what I want.

Give it to me
and I will skyrocket.

We signed Jenna,

and it didn't take very long
for Jenna to become

the big deal.

Even then, you knew that Jenna

was gonna be something big.

She'd already started
to climb that ladder,

and she was already

Jenna vs. Jenna Jameson.

I just had
larger than life ideas.

Jenna was winning best actress,

best sex scene,
starlet of the year.

One of her movies we did
won best film.

So it was really a quick ride.

I was starting to gain momentum.

I knew I was capable
of so much more.

She was everywhere.

Again, she was not
just on the porn sets.

She was in movies.

You have to be a stripper

with a take no prisoners
raw survival instinct.

She was on talk shows.

I can't believe it.

I'm looking at your pictures.
You could be a model.

Thank you.

By this time, she already knew
what was going on.

She knew how to light things
and she knew how to direct

and she knew the kind of scenes
that she wanted to do.

She owned all that.

This is a male
dominated industry,

and I can crack it open.

I started my own company,
club Jenna.

I think Jenna Jameson
was super business savvy,

and she, you know,
had a whole idea

of how her career was gonna go

and exactly the moves
she was going to make

in order for her
to have longevity in adult

and also to make
tons and tons of money

at a time in the business,
when, you know,

it was opportune.

I shot my own movies
for my company,

and I also did a licensing/
distribution deal with vivid,

which was ground breaking,

like changed things
for the whole industry

when they saw those numbers.

Then I got to direct her

in, in uh,
"the masseuse," ” of course,

and "devil in miss Jones,"

and two of the best movies
I've ever done.

Well, things
are about to change.

You can have anything you want.

Oh...

She became somewhat
of a control freak.

I felt myself like ramping up.

I was like, okay,
I'm starting to get this.

She got so much adulation
so quickly.

I couldn't go anywhere without
people screaming my name.

And she didn't handle it
as well as she might have.

It was, it kind of blew my mind.

I saw her become
a caricature of herself.

It was like being Julia Roberts

when she got her Oscar,
you know.

She seemed to start
to become less happy.

I played the part.

I worked it. I brought glamour.

I never did anything half-ass.

I think it was the right girl,

the right time,

the right company,

and all things were aligned,
and it worked.

Do I think it's possible
to do that again on that level?

I don't.

I think she is probably
the biggest star of all time

because I don't think
that can happen again.

It's fair to say
this list is far from complete.

Dozens of other
larger than life legends

deserve to have
their stories told,

performers who've contributed
to the adult industry

in unique and important ways,

many of whom continue to.

But when it comes
to the modern porn industry,

which began in actual movie
theaters five decades ago

and continues
on hand-held devices today,

these are the stars
who have shined the brightest

and rocked us the hardest.

I'm Mr. skin.

Good night.

Excellent.

I'm the best clapper ever.

Nice.

I have spent quite a bit
of time with ginger.

She will never cease
to chase me around

with a dildo or a strap-on
or taking off my clothes,

and that's, that's ginger.

I hated those scarves.

The scarves were provided.

There's enough cum
on those scarves

to start a whole new
population of people.

Something that I've never
revealed about myself.

I have a big giant penis.

It's just, it's tucked
inside my vagina.

That's what
I was gonna tell you.

Is it good?

Come on.

I mean, you know, dp?

That's kind of a natural thing.

If there's another guy
in the picture,

you know,
you got the extra hole.

And she was a wild girl.

Cubans are wild.
Don't you know Cubans?

They got that nice round ass
and they're wild, man.

My famous line was, you know,

you wanna twat sandwich, baby?

Where she had the biggest clit
and the largest pussy lips

at that particular time,

which, I'm a freak,
and so that immediately

got me fanatically involved

with like sucking
and swallowing them down.

I had a pimp,
which he got paid 40%.

I took 60 'cause I had to get
a boyfriend out of jail.

Soi'mused to those days.

Hippie girls,
hair under their arms,

all that kind of stuff.
Hair all over their legs.

You couldn't see the pussy.
It was all like a tree.

You had to like take a rake
and like rake it out

to get even to see anything.

And each scene was connected,
not separate scenes.

Everything flowed
like a river or something.

- And a lot of pubic hairs.
- They were all so hairy.

Pubic hair.
There was a lot of hair.

And she

had pubic hair.

And lots of it.

I was just gonna say that.

The first time I had a strange
dick in my hairy pussy.

It was the '80s.

I'd probably been
in the business a few months.

I still was a little nervous
about the business,

and now they have me
driving out to the hinterlands

for this shoot, and I'm sure

that I'm gonna
get killed out there

and buried in an avocado grove.

Whoa. Sorry.

That was so compelling,
you lost your balance.

I was impressed
by both the ladies

in that scene, actually.

I saw that about to happen.

There's a whole bunch
of producers

I had to sleep with
to get a lot of jobs.

No, I'm just...

I hope not.
Slept with two of 'em at least.

And one that took you to a Barry
manilow concert. She called me up...

Dude, but they made me
stars, though.

I slept with
the right producers, I swear.

Which ones off the record?

I guess "deep throat"
was such a big event.

People were going to see
"deep throat.”

It wasn't a very good movie,
but people wanted to see it.

I guess part of it
was Linda had, you know,

had kind of a sweet look to her.

She was a filthy little whore,
but she had a sweet look to her.

I really just love
the whole idea

that she has
with the whole thing.

I just went blah, blah, blah
in my head.

And I'm like blah, blah, blah.

My first blowjob,

and I'm looking everybody
in the eye,

'cause there's like
30 people on the set.

Welcome to my blowjob.

Welcome to my blowjob.
Is this cool?

I did ten films
with Veronica hart.

And then we were
talking about our parents,

and my father worked out at
the test site out in Nevada.

What a nice thing,
your father makes bombs.

How nice.

I came down hard on her.
I said your father's a murderer.

All of a sudden,
r. Bolla was saying

that my dad was the cause

of everything wrong
in the world.

I saw that she was hurt,

soi told her I was sorry.

I really did.

I said I'm really sorry
that I hate your father.

No.

Well done.

I know who I fucked
and when I fucked 'em.

Log onto
gingerlynnauctions.Com...

And bid...

No, I burped. I burped.

Here's a little tidbit
about Ron.

And Ron is desperate
to be in mainstream movies.

And I think to his detriment

he has become,
through his own doing,

too famous to be taken
seriously as an actor

the way he would like to be.

So you just see Ron Jeremy
you go, oh, it's Ron Jeremy.

You don't see Ron Jeremy
playing like the office guy

or Ron Jeremy
playing the attorney.

It's like Ron Jeremy
playing the attorney.

The only way to actually
to be the king of porn

is like to, uh, kill Ron Jeremy.

Just smack it. Excellent.

Actually, I would like
to do that again.

Let's slate again please.
