Why is she your favorite porn star?

[Richard1968]

Browsing through this forum I see a lot of lists ranking favorite porn stars. Everyone has their own taste. I also at times wonder what is being considered in the ranking. Some posts include stars that I don't think look great but there isn't anything they wount do.
So does someone like Taylor Rain, who I think is pretty hot, make someones list because she does a lot of ATM and once let Max Hardcore piss in her mouth.
Someone else like me might find that disgusting but I like her because she has a pretty face and a nice, albeit small rack.
I picked my top ten which is below. Looking at my list I think a nice face and rack come first. I don't care a lot for the raunchy stuff, like ATM but I do want the stars to be into their scenes. I also like someone who gives a good looking BJ. Like Amer Lynn.
1. Angel Dark
2. Barbara Dare
3. Jamie Summers
4. Nikki Dial
5. Raquel Darrian
6. Amber Lynn (pre 1990)
7. Ginger Lynn (pre 1990)
8. Jenna Jameson
9. Taylor Hayes
10. Deidre Holland

I have rediscovered Bridgette Monet over 20 years after I even heard of her. I recall seeing her in some pics, but pre-VHS days I never saw tapes except at an occasional bachelor party. She's nearly my age and seemed to fall into porn, embrace it, and then limit herself and leave w/i five years. This is the strange part; I find myself considering her motives, feeling sorry and yet pissed at her for doing this, and jealous at the same time and then, I consider-how does she deal with this now or even her husband to see his wife take facials while he was dating her too. Perhaps I envy the liberality of it and it is exciting, but I would love to meet her and do an interview. Don't think my wife would approve, but I enjoy my little safe fantasy here as my Mrs. is a terrific lover and mom. Anyone have this obsessive take on a past star? I don't feel so strongly about Christy Canyon or Annette Haven or others, Monet just has that look and hits me at a weird level.

My all-time favorite porn star is Jeannie Pepper. She's absolutely beautiful at 50(she'll be 51 in July) and she's aging naturally and gracefully. No weird work done on her face, no arms plastered with tattoos, no multiple body piercings. She's always been up for anything in her films(especially her German films in the 80s). In interviews she's always come off as intelligent and witty. And maybe most important, she's always looked like she was enjoying what she was doing. Miss Pepper rules(my world, at least)!

Gonna have to go with that one!

[snorkie]

From the first time I saw her in "Debbie Does Dishes" Nina Hartley has been a consistent favorite. Why? Because she always seems to be having fun. Oh yeah, and there's a good chance she'd bring another girl with her. When it comes to dirty, I'll take the mid 90s version of Tiffany Mynx.

[reiver58]

I like a busty porn star who also brings some style and personality to the scenes. My Favorites are: Trinity Loren, Tracey Adams, Sarah Jane Hamilton, Renee Summers, Holly McCall, Christy Canyon, and Lisa Deleuew (sp?).


They can be the seducer or the seduced in the girl-girl scenes. An ability to have the wide- eyed startled look is a real plus. Have always hated the director of "La Boomba", when he only had 15 seconds of Ebony Ayes feeling up a reluctant Renee Summers...that should have deserved the full 15 minutes.

What he said, pretty much

[Toxic Dog]

My Top Ten in ALPHABETICAL order (and WHY they're my Top Ten):

1) JULIET ANDERSON

They say "you never forget your first time", and how true that is!!

The very first hardcore porn movie I ever saw was "Aunt Peg", as an impressionable late-teens student way back in 1982. It was a bad-quality nth generation VHS copy, but it absolutely blew my mind (especially the scene in which "waiter" Billy Dee fucks "posh ladies" Juliet Anderson and Holly McCall). Watching it with a group of lads at university (one of them had his own TV and video player), I'd never seen anything like it before, and once I got back to the privacy of my own room, I re-ran it time and again in my mind as I wanked the night away.

I've always had a thing about sexy older women anyway, and the fact that JA wore stockings and suspenders in virtually every scene I've ever seen her in are two more reasons why she'll always be a permanent feature of my Top Ten. It was also always clear that she was really enjoying the sex as well - so yet another plus.




2) LYNN ARMITAGE

Busty, brassy, blonde barmaid type from England. Over the course of a decade or so from the early '80s to the early '90s, she did the lot - from nude & lingerie spreads in British top-shelf mags, to starring in European hardcore movies, including stints working for porn stables in France, Germany and Italy.

Her wide-eyed, startled facial expressions (usually accompanied by much frenetic tongue-flicking) as she took cock in front of a camera were the trademark of a pornstress at the top of her game and in her sexual element. Said to be living a quiet life on the island of Malta these days.




3) DEBORA COEUR

French fisting queen from the 1990s. While fisting has never really been my thing, there's no denying the sheer sexiness of this woman. Her straight fucking scenes are some of my favourites - and the enthusiasm and aplomb with which she took a stiffie up her back passage was always something to be admired. She's also a dead ringer for my ex-sister-in-law (I kid you not) - so you can imagine the kind of sordid thoughts that used to pass through my mind whenever we went round there for tea.




4) EVA DELAGE

Looks like a whore, dresses like a whore and fucks like a whore - and I think she's one of the sexiest women in porn - EVER. I can even look beyond the piercings and the tattoos, because this woman exudes sex from every pore and orifice. Not a beauty in the classic sense - more (like Lynn Armitage) the slutty, older blonde barmaid from down the pub that we've all fantasised about fucking at some point. Did a lot of fisting stuff in the '90s, which once again isn't really my thing - but her straight sex scenes are smokin'.




5) ROSEMARY ENGLAND

Rosemary's porn career (such as it was) was very brief, and lasted for only a couple of years in the late 70s. By 1980 she'd vanished from the scene altogether.

Originally introduced circa 1978 by Sullivan to feature in his Lovebirds / Playbirds / Whitehouse titles as the 'new girl on the block' alongside his established star Mary Millington, there was apparently friction between the two models, although they appeared together in a number of "lesbian" spreads.

To the best of my knowledge, she only ever did one single hardcore loop (entitled "Arabian Nights", in which Nikki Stanton also appeared) - apart from that, Sullivan's pseudo-porn being the strongest stuff she did. Nevertheless, she was absolutely fucking gorgeous and deserved to be much, much bigger and famous than she ever was (personally, I thought she knocked Mary Millington into a cocked hat, but hey - that's just me). She also reminded me very much of former 'Doctor Who' assistant Liz Sladen.

What a pity that she never made it across the Channel to do some proper hardcore. Just picture a younger Pontello and / or J.P. Armand being put to her in one of those early Dorcels! Ah well, we can but dream of what might have been ….

Here she is in one of Sullivan's aforementioned "limp-dick productions":




6) CATHY MENARD

I've always thought the that there's something incredibly sexy about women who look like they shouldn't really be doing porn, but should instead be working as a dental receptionist, or in an optician's, or in a ladies' clothing shop. Something along those lines. You know - the "sexy Plain Jane" types.

And although Cathy may well have been a few degrees removed from "plain", to my mind (and with her trademark short, dark hair), she always looked like she should have been pursuing one of those more "respectable" jobs - rather than having stiff cocks poked into her orifices on camera for a living, or having her delicious, hairy pussy eaten out by other females.

Another pornstress who wore stockings and suspenders in most of her scenes, she produced some amazing stuff in the early to mid 80s. Here she is as part of a 4-some in the early '80s.




7) GAELLA PERREIRA

Belgian (by way of Rio, from the look of her). Her portfolio isn't large, but she was a star who shone brightly for a brief period in the late '80s, doing her best-known work for the VTO stable in Germany, plus a movie or two for Magma and a couple of appearances in more obscure German productions. I read somewhere that she began her career a few years earlier doing photo spreads in Belgian glamour mags, though I never saw any of those.

Her trademark was a thin chain worn around her waist, and more often than not she wore stockings and suspenders for her scenes also. Her enthusiasm while fucking was plain for all to see from her 'ooh-aaah' facial expressions and broad smiles. The archetypal firey Latina who took cock in all three holes with great gusto.




8) MICHELLE SHEPPARD

I first saw Michelle Sheppard in various issues of magazines from the Sullivan stable (Lovebirds / Playbirds / Whitehouse) back in the late 70s. She immediately became a firm favourite and the object of many a salty bedtime "tribute". But funnily enough, it's only very recently (here at VEF) that I found out her name. As a hormonally-charged teenager, I was immediately struck by her natural attractiveness and sexiness, and she's remained a firm favourite of mine down the years, even though her back catalogue is a relatively small one and she's not all that well-known.




9) LAURA VALERIE

One of the most popular and (without a shadow of a doubt) hottest French porn stars of the late '80s and early '90s. Not a classic 'beauty', but still very attractive and with a great body and legs- and she always had that up-for-it, fuck-me look about her. Fortunately, most of her back catalogue still seems to be out there. I still enjoy bashing the old bishop to her scenes when the opportunity presents itself. Took it in all three holes with obvious enthusiasm, and her lesbian scenes were always hot as well.

This is a screen-shot from one of her rarer movies called "Lady Fantasy" (circa 1989). But before anyone asks, unfortunately I don't have it to upload and share (much as I'd love to). Perhaps someone else can oblige if it's not already in the dedicated LV thread? In any event, it's worth tracking down.




10) PAT WYNN

Who doesn't wish that they had an Auntie like Auntie Pat? Back in the '80s, she really stoked my passion for mature women with big tits. It was just a pity that she didn't do hardcore - g/g and the occasional dildo insertion were as hard as it got for Auntie Pat. But nevertheless, she was (and indeed remains) as sexy as fuck in my book. She also went by the monicker "Auntie Jane" for her work with Escort magazine (a popular UK top-shelf title of the day).

I can very much relate to this. And Monet is a perfect example of one of those models - IMHO - that has that magnetic quality that transcends the printed page and film. The "look" you describe is somehow linked to that quality. For me personally, its Molly O'Brian. She was both cherubic and devilish in nature and had eyes that really conveyed pure and unadulterated raunch. (Not to mention a sailors mouth in the heat of the moment) She was also somewhat "thick" - though not in the daft sense - which I have always gravitated toward. Her dark/dusky features also appeal to me. She had a look of mixed ethnicity that is very alluring (European, light skinned Black, Spanish, Asian)
