Rene Bond (born in San Diego, California on October 11, 1950) was an adult actress active in the 1970s Los Angeles pornography scene, appearing in about 300 films and loops. She was well-known for having a youthful, “girl next door” appeal.
Bond began her career in softcore exploitation films produced by Harry Novak in the late 1960s before moving on to hardcore films in the early 1970s. She reportedly earned $100 a day for hardcore work and $30 a day for soft-core. During this period, she frequently appeared with her then-boyfriend, porn actor Ric Lutze.
Bond was one of the first porn stars to get a breast enlargement, which was reportedly paid for by Novak. She also appeared under the names Mindy Brandt, Michelle Combe, Annie Hall, Diane Lee, Priscilla Lee, Lilly Lovetree, Sally Martin and Lotta Rocks.
By the late 1970s, Bond was selling photographs of herself through her own mail order company. She also performed in a live stage revue at Lee Witten’s Ivar Burlesque Theater in Hollywood. Bond reportedly brought her father on stage while performing to sing “My Heart Belongs to Daddy.” After her performances, Bond signed autographs in the lobby for a dollar each.
Bond retired from the adult entertainment industry in 1980, reportedly to raise a family.
Every year she sent her former softcore agent, Hal Guthue, a Christmas card.
According to imdb, Bond died June 2, 1996 of cirrhosis of the liver.
