According to Wiki, the Golden Age of Porn spans 15 years, from 1969 to 1984, but I like to stretch that a bit and include all of the ’80s and a bit of the ’90s.
What’s fascinating about that 15-year span, however, is that porn received positive attention from mainstream cinemas, movie critics, and the general public. There was a time there where XXX flicks were shown in fine movie theaters across this great nation of ours.
Obviously, that was before VCRs, DVD players, and the Internet. These days, watching porn has become a solo activity, which is okay I guess. I’m not complaining. If it wasn’t for porn, the VCR would have never taken off and home entertainment would not look the same as it does today.
5. Kay Parker
Kay Parker is a British pornstar famous for starring in the original Taboo porn flick about incestuous father-daughter and mother-son relationships. The movie (and the sequels it spawned) were insanely popular at the time. Actually, Taboo is rated #21 on the AVN’s list of “Top 101 All Time Greatest Movies” and it has been said that it set the standard for porn movies in the ’80s.
4. Vanessa Del Rio
Vanessa Del Rio is the all-time queen of Latina pornstars. She’s got a really curvy body and eyes that smolder with sexuality. It’s no wonder that Taschen released a book called Vanessa Del Rio: Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior. Not only is Del Rio an Amazing porn star, but she was the first non-white pornstar.
By the mid-seventies the golden age of porn was in full swing, but unfortunately so was racism. Vanessa Del Rio had to work her way to the top and that’s exactly what she did by taking every single job that came her way. Audience members were soon mesmerized by her on-screen ferocity and Del Rio became the first Latina star.
3. Marilyn Jess
Marilyn Jess was the French pornstar of the late ’70s to the early ’90s. With typical good looks, a slim figure, and natural big tits she was exactly what American audiences wanted to see. It didn’t hurt that she had a really perky personality and that everyone in the industry, from the Peepz behind the scenes to the people watching her vids, were incredibly attracted to her warm and genuine ‘nice girl’ personality.
2. Domonique Simone
Domonique Simone was the top black pornstar of the ’90s. When she was seventeen, Domonique won a scholarship for the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, but her career went a different way when in 1989, at the age of eighteen, Domonique answered an ad for figure modelling and she started shooting for Hustler Mag and Players. From then on, she became one of the top black starlets in the industry. It wasn’t until 2006 that Domonique officially retired from making movies.
1. Christy Canyon
Christy Canyon starred in her first porno in 1984 with Ron Jeremy. The two became lifelong industry friends and Christy went on to become one of the most popular porn stars of the ’80s and ’90s. She retired a total of three times during her career, but it never really stuck. I’m not sure when she filmed her last scene, because studios are still putting out lost footage and compilation videos.
Actually, Christy is still active in the XXX biz. These days, though, she’s mostly maintaining her website and hosting a radio show.
