[QUOTE=DigitalC] One blonde with huge fake tits is exactly the same as another [/QUOTE] 80s porn stars didn’t have huge fake tits. That didn’t really start becoming the norm until the 90s. ---

Marilyn Chambers. Oh my God. My personal favorite of them all. There is no pic on IMDb but one on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Chambers) though not a very good one. I’ve seen better 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Christopher] I only remember Debby. You know, the one that did Dallas. [/QUOTE] That was [Bambi Woods](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambi_Woods). She always looked coked up, probably because she was. Hmm, Wikipedia is saying that her “death” from a drug overdose is unconfirmed. I’ve never heard this before. It goes to say “Woods’ birth name and eventual fate remain unknown.” Wow, mysterious. ---

And damn, but did she look good with that skinny body of hers. Well, until she got older. She really didn’t age well. She should’ve never gotten the boob job. Heck, she was in a Cronenberg movie- and she wasn’t half bad. ---

Her waist thickened a little and her body got more curvy and her face got coarser but somehow appealingly so .. she looked kinda ELEMENTAL. Like a mature sex spirit or something. ---

OK, I would have to say Ginger Lynn at #1 – just something about her that really clicked for me. Finalists, Hyapatia Lee’s “before” version; Christy Canyon; Raquel Darrian. ---

[QUOTE=Johnny Hildo] He wasn’t murdered at Wonderland. He died of AIDS. [/QUOTE] Geez, I can’t seem to get a break today, even when I knew better in the first damn place. 😛 So I’ll just blame that ridiculous movie, Val Kilmer and the lack of any prosthetics. ---

I suppose most of her work was done in the '90s, but I love [Heather Hunter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Hunter). That woman is primal. I gotta agree that Raquel Darrian and Traci Lords also made that decade worthwhile. And I used to work with a hostess that could have been a double for Christy Canyon. I did a major double take when I first saw her on film “Is that? Nah, it cant be. Wow. WOW!!!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-was-your-favorite-1980s-porn-star/395723.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-was-your-favorite-1980s-porn-star/395723.md?page=4)
