X-Rated 2: The Greatest Adult Stars of All Time! (2016) - full transcript

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 I think is just gone.

Now you have to bring so much

more to be so much less of a name.

He was the perfect porn-star.

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 porn-star,

- 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 porn-stars 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 I 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,

goddammit, 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 do in 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, so it was in color.

And having owned

adult bookstores,

- I knew the stars in the

business when I went on set,

- and I 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.

♪ Oh, seka ♪

♪ Tried on some sexy clothes ♪

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 a butt-load 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, I just wanted to make the

most beautiful movies that I could-

- 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 trans-formative 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 is I 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, I 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 10 or

15 or even 20 years ago.

So I 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"?

She's incredible behind the camera.

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't it?

- 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'm in 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.

So I had to make a choice.

I was done with school.

What do I 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 roller-coaster.

- 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 30

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 did in 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

gang-banged by six or seven guys.

Vanessa being the

first official Latin porn-star.

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.

Mm...

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 waitress.

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.

30 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 I 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.

I 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

porn-stars 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 did it in my whole life.

- 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, I 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, a big 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 a very 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,

so I did a whole movie-

- where I cos-played 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.

I 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.

Ahe 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?

It's my business to know people.

John was very innovative.

He was the real deal all day.

He actually could act, and then he could

also do a, a sexual performance, and I think-

- to be able to do both

was just a pretty rare gift.

Of all the male porn-stars 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-

- soft-core movies, right,

people had soft-core movies,

- let's cut in hardcore footage.

They'd cut from this film of this guy

pretending to fuck this girl, soft-core,

- and they'd cut in me fucking the

girl, so you get a little 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 '80s 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?

- Mm-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. I thought, wow. I 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 is I 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 re-shot.

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 la. 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 "10."

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 '80$.

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.

So I 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

porn-stars 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 to a 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, for about a year.

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 porn-star,

- who was well known as a porn-star

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 porn-star.

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 I 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 already-

- 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 I 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

that she comes back-

- 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,"

so I 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 porn-star?

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.

♪ You're a winner ♪“

♪ That's what you are ♪

♪ Believe it or not ♪

♪ You know ♪

♪ You're really a star ♪

♪ And so happy... ♪

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 porn-star.

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 in it-

- 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 and 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.

"Boon Dock 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 a picture 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

porn-star 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 porn-star,"

- 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 ls 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.

Woman 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.

So I'm used 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 blow-job, and I'm

looking everybody in the eye,

- 'cause there's like

30 people on the set.

Welcome to my blow-job.

Welcome to my blow-job.

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,

so I 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.

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.
