I gotta go with Hyapatia Lee, if for no other reason that I still have an autographed Polaroid of her, wearing nothing but a smile, sitting on my lap. Pre-augmentation, around 1984 as I recall. Best $5 I ever spent. 😃😃😃 ---

Jamie Summers, Tori Wells & Heather Hunter- “Where the Boys Aren’t 3” was the fist porno I saw, and I thought I had gone to heaven. ---

A female checking in here. I’ve always found these three to be beautiful and quite intriguing. Marilyn Chambers Savannah Jeanna Fine- I met her once, she was a class act and more gorgeous in person than on screen. ---

Is this strictly limited to the 80’s? Or to women for that matter? Everybody’s naming women. I only ask because Peter North (a.k.a. The Beer Can, Old Faithful, The Firehose, and The Decorator) is still doing what he does best even to this day and he’s pushing 50, but his is a talent any guy would love to have. 🙂 I think he shoulda done a flick called **Warning: Contents Under Pressure**. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Lightnin’] Yeah, I was going to say “Marilyn Chambers” as well. She always seemed like she was just having fun, you know? 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. [/QUOTE] I prefer to think of it as sleek, streamlined, high performance. And yeah, it seemed like she was having fun now that you bring it to my attention. Certainly a watchable trait. What is the movie of which you speak? ---

[QUOTE=The Chao Goes Mu] Savannah [/QUOTE] Yes, she was quite the hottie. But it was so shocking to see her after she fell prey to drugs that it only makes me sad to think about her. And to whoever mentioned Bambi Woods. I remember her because DDD was my first ever hardcore experience. And our head HS cheerleader looked just like her. ---

[QUOTE=The Chao Goes Mu] Jeanna Fine- I met her once, she was a class act and more gorgeous in person than on screen. [/QUOTE] I didn’t start watching porn until the mid-to-late '90s, but I remember Jeanna Fine fondly as one of my favorites from this era (the rise of the superstars like Janine Lindemulder and Jenna Jameson). Jeanna stood out in every crowd: she was older, she had that short dark hair, and she was a goddess. I don’t know what she’s been up to lately (if anything), as there is precious little information about her online, and even very few photos. ---

I guess I didn’t watch enough porn in the 80’s, because I don’t recognize any of these names (except for MC, of course). Anyone care to recommend me some 80’s porn viewing? ---

No new names here: Hyapatia Lee and Nina Hartley were just plain hot. Does anybody remember a woman named Bonita in the Dirty Debs series? She was so freaking beautiful and I never saw her in anything else. ---

You all should read **The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry** by Legs McNeil and Jennifer Osborne. It’s a great, and appropriately depraved, book told in interview snippets by the performers and producers. Marilyn Chambers is in it. Unless you’re too busy… reminiscing. ---

[/QUOTE] Something from the era that I thought was pretty brilliant, not just as porn but as entertainment, was “The Devil in Miss Jones, Parts III and IV”. Lots of funny bits and truly outrageous sex. The star is another actress who deserves to be mentioned here, Lois Ayres, who was hot and always seemed like she was capable of any depravity. ---

[QUOTE=Nic2004] What is the movie of which you speak? [/QUOTE] [Rabid, by David Cronenberg](http://imdb.com/title/tt0076590/). It was actually the first thing I ever saw her in. Later on, I saw many things in _her_. (here all week, try the fish, yadda yadda) ---

Tori Welles, pre-boobjob. Lordy. Even after augmentation she was still something to behold. Got a copy of “Night Trips” on DVD. Yowza. ---

Racquel Darrian Stacey Donovan Ali Moore Did Chasey Laine start in the late '80s? I really liked her before the boob job. I was just looking at these pages (scroll down for head shots of many '80s actresses), and I can’t help thinking that porn stars are just a lot better looking now than they were then: [www.ericaboyer.net/ebfrontpage.html](http://www.ericaboyer.net/ebfrontpage.html) (No nudity on that page, but still probably NSFW) Maybe it’s just because the makeup and hairstyles look so dated at this point. ---

God, I can’t believe no one has mentioned the incredibly sweet **Candi Evans**! Young, pert, blond, baby doll face & voice! She was scrumptious! Also liked **Heather Wayne** , **Tori Wells** (even though she was stone-cold crazy!) and **Jamie Summers** (not the bionic broad)… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-was-your-favorite-1980s-porn-star/395723.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-was-your-favorite-1980s-porn-star/395723.md?page=5)
