Kathy Harcourt … A Mysterious End

Kathy Harcourt was a little known porn actress who appeared in a handful of films in the early 80’s. Her biography is scarce at best. IAFD does not list her date of birth, date of death, or place of birth. Because she was only active in the industry for a couple of years, and was not exactly a fan favorite, very little is known about her.

According to RAME.net, Harcourt did die sometime in the mid 80’s. Her body was allegedly found floating the East River; the cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the head. The gun was actually found upstream leading some to believe that that the wound was self inflicted. Because the gun had been in the water for nearly a day no fingerprints could be lifted. It is also rumored that Harcourt was deeply in debt to a drug dealer who might have murdered her and thrown the gun into the river after the murder took place. To this day the case is unsolved.

I would like to hear from any of Kathy’s friends or family who may have a little more information about her life. Please leave a message below.

40 Years Of Marilyn Chambers

Marilyn Chambers (born Marilyn Ann Briggs, April 22, 1952, in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.) is a former American pornographic actress and stripteaser perhaps best known for her 1972 hardcore debut Behind the Green Door.

Early life

According to John Hubner’s book Bottom Feeders, (1994), Chambers came from a middle-class household. Her father was in advertising and her mother was a nurse. She was the youngest of three children. Her father tried to discourage her from pursuing a modeling career, citing brutal competition. Chambers landed some modeling gigs and a small role in the Barbra Streisand starred The Owl and the Pussycat (1970), where she was credited as “Evelyn Lang”. Her parents were not impressed, so she moved to Los Angeles for more work. But she didn’t get any roles, except for a low-budget film Together (1971), in which she appeared nude. Depressed, she left Los Angeles for San Francisco where she held several jobs, including work as a topless model and a bottomless dancer. She also married a hippie named Doug (whose surname she did not provide to writer-researcher John Hubner).

Adult film career

Chambers happened to see an advertisement for a casting call, and rushed to the audition only to find out that it was for a porno film. She was about to leave when the Mitchell brothers stopped her, because of her resemblance to Cybill Shepherd, and feeling that a wholesome blond actress was needed for their film. (At this point, they did not realize that she was the “cover girl” on the Ivory Snow soap box; she posed as the woman holding the baby. According to some urban legends, Chambers was the baby; this turned out to be false, as was the claim that the baby was Brooke Shields). The product’s manufacturer, Procter & Gamble quickly dropped her after discovering her double life as an adult film actress. Chambers, who was initially ambivalent about starring in Behind the Green Door, asked the Mitchell brothers, Artie and Jim, for a $25,000 salary and a percentage of the gross, never expecting that they would agree. After filming concluded, she dropped the Ivory Snow bombshell, which resulted in her being billed as the “99 and 44/100% pure” girl.

In the film, Chambers had sex with the well-endowed African-American actor Johnny Keyes. She also fainted at the end of one scene lasting over 45 minutes. The porno industry and viewing public were shocked by the then-taboo spectacle of a white woman having sex with a black man. (Chambers’ parents refused to talk to her for several years after the film’s release, but eventually reconciled with her). In subsequent porno films with John Holmes, who was noted for his extremely large penis, Chambers “talked dirty” to him off-camera to give him an erection. Eventually, mainstream films noticed Chambers, who in 1977, nabbed a major role in David Cronenberg’s Rabid. However, her adult film career made Hollywood studios nervous, and hence she was unable to transition to mainstream films.

She was noted for her enthusiastic performances of deep throat, anal, lesbian, interracial, extreme bukkake, and double or triple penetration scenes. She was one of the first female stars to shave her pubic hair, a practice now routine for porn actresses. Chambers continues to appear in porn films for such companies as Naughty America and MILF Hunter. Later in her career, she had a series of breast augmentations raising her from a B-cup to at least a D. She is reputedly one of the first porn actresses to have her genitals pierced.

Her first marriage ended after the release of Behind the Green Door. During her 1975-1985 marriage to porn producer/director/manager Chuck Traynor, Chambers continued in both mainstream and porn films. After that marriage ended, Chambers married for the third time to truck driver Tom Taylor. She gave birth to their daughter, McKenna Marie Taylor, in 1991, before that marriage also ended in divorce. Chambers has admitted to writer John Hubner and other interviewers that she has battled drug and alcohol addiction in the past.

In recent years, Chambers has appeared primarily in independent films, claiming that their more laid back pace suits her as “there’s a lot less pressure on you to perform (and) you don’t have to be young and skinny.”

Angela Devi, A Tragedy In Scottsdale

Angela Devi was born Angela Dhingra on July 30, 1975. She was an Internet model who had her own adult website. Despite how much the adult industry has grown, Indian women are still a rarity and Angela stood out with her shapely curves and alluring eyes.

On March 31, 2006, Angela was found on the floor of her home in Scottsdale, AZ with a piece of cloth wrapped around her neck and a toppled over chair next to her body. A hook that was screwed into the ceiling had come loose after the hanging and her body fell to the floor. Police also found empty Xanax packages on the scene.

A posting was put up on her site announcing her death and then quickly removed. The post and it’s immediate removal prompted many of her fans to speculate that Angela had faked her own death. However, a police report eventually surfaced confirming Devi’s demise. Click this link to read the Police report.

The reason that Angela took her own life may never be known. Let’s hope for the sake of her and her family that she has found peace.

Amber Lynn, Still Occasionally Performes At 44

Amber Lynn (born Laura Allen on September 3, 1963, in Newport Beach, California, U.S.) is an American porn star and exotic dancer.

Amber Lynn was born and raised in southern California. her brother later gained fame in the adult industry as Buck Adams. As a teenager, she got involved in the club scene in Los Angeles, where she met Althea Flynt, wife of Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. Before long, Lynn was posing for layouts in Hustler as well as other “men’s magazines” such as Penthouse. She entered the adult film industry in 1983, after her friend Ginger Lynn Allen (aka Ginger Lynn) did the same. The two friends, along with Porsche Lynn, became known as the “three Lynns” and were among the most successful female porn stars of the 1980s.

Lynn’s on-screen sexual exploits included primarily vaginal intercourse and oral sex, as well as lesbian scenes. She starred in several movies with exceptionally well endowed men, and did a few scenes involving double vaginal penetration. In her early career, she did not do anal sex. She got her older brother (porn actor Buck Adams) into the porn industry,and the two kept the fact that they were siblings hidden until they were scheduled to perform a scene together, at which point they confessed.

Although Lynn was not directly affected by the Traci Lords underage-porn scandal in 1986, the episode shook her confidence in the business. She had also been deeply hurt by the 1984 suicide of friend Shauna Grant, and left adult films.

She began dancing and making personal appearances in Canada with adult film actress Tracey Adams, with whom she was involved at the time in a lesbian relationship. She soon decided that she preferred “live entertainment” to filmmaking.

After a few years, however, the number of porn stars on the dancing circuit exploded, reducing the amount of money any could earn for each appearance. Lynn moved back to Los Angeles and returned to posing for magazines.

She returned to adult films in the mid-1990s, but was unable to regain her earlier level of success. Several of her roles were lesbian scenes or non-sexual parts. By 1999, her struggles with drug abuse and alcoholism had severely damaged both her personal life and her career. She and Adams had ended their long-term relationship, and Lynn dropped out of the business again to clean herself up.

While in her early porn career Lynn refrained from breast enlargement surgery. However, by the time she returned to porn in the 1990s, her modest B-cup breasts had been enhanced to at least a DD.

Soon after her second retirement, reportedly in need of money, she began making films again. Some of these films were more extreme than those that she had done earlier in her career, including scenes containing interracial and anal sex (which she had previously refused to do) and extreme lesbian bondage (including spanking and abuse). She still appears in films from time to time, but her involvement is usually limited to one sex scene.

She has worked for Naughty America in movies such as My Friend’s Hot Mom and My First Sex Teacher, as well as other MILF movies.

Naughtia Childs, Did She Jump Or Was She Thrown?

Porn Star Naughtia Childs was one of the most exciting young women on the scene during her short stay in the business. A round-faced, extremely youthful looking lass, Naughtia Childs exuded sexual enthusiasm in every role she took. Her piercing blue eyes were among the most alluring we’ve seen, and her scrumptious 5′2″ frame was home to some mouthwatering natural 34B-28-33 curves.

Naughtia Childs was born Megan Serbian in San Diego, California in 1980. After graduating from high school, she ended up working a variety of go-nowhere jobs before hitting on the idea of porn. In 1999, she drove the short hitch up the freeway to Porn Valley and proceeded to make her mark in the industry with a string of awesomely erotic outings.

Naughtia Childs made her hardcore debut opposite Ed Powers in ‘More Dirty Debutantes 102.’ Her combination of youthfully innocent good looks and down-and-dirty performance skills were a heady brew, and Naughtia Childs quickly got noticed by lots of mainstream hardcore producers. Her do-anything nature insured that she would be kept as busy as she wanted to be.

Naughtia Childs left the scene in 2000, after sexing her sassy way through over forty fiery features. Along the way, she blossomed from a cheeky young cutie to a streamlined, sexual-charged vixen. Naughtia Childs remains one of the favorites among fans of cute brunette bad girls.

In January of 2002 Childs’ body was found at the bottom of a four-story apartment balcony. Her death was officially ruled a suicide but according to sources the LAPD have an ongoing homicide investigation. Apparently the fact that she landed feet first, and the distance from the ledge, are not consistent with a jump. Several sources have also stated that Childs was allegedly tripping on LSD at the time of her death.

Trinity Loren, Dead At 34, Overdose

Trinity Loren (born Joyce Evelyn McPherson August 21, 1964 in La Jolla, California, USA and died October 25, 199 was a porn star, model, and stripper.

Loren began her adult career as a model in various men’s magazines, gaining attention due to her natural 38E breasts. Loren began her porn career on screen in late-1985, and quickly achieved renown as one of the first starlets of the straight-to-video era of adult films. She retired from pornographic films in the early-1990s, fearing the threat of the AIDS virus.

Loren specialized in oral and anal sex, as well as lesbian scenes. She was also one of the first mainstream adult stars to appear in videos noticeably pregnant and (later) lactating. Before this, many adult films with the pregnancy/milking theme were available only as underground 8mm loops or fringe fetish short films.

Loren shared a short marriage to Barry Woods (who also appeared in adult films under the pseudonym of Shane Hunter), with whom she had a daughter, Tess, born 1990. After the couple’s divorce, Loren moved to Texas, seeking to build a life with her daughter. Unfortunately, Woods and McPherson were fighting over the custody rights of their child; Woods won custody.

Loren moved back to California to be closer to her daughter. She continued to do photo layouts for men’s magazines including Hustler, Gent and D-Cup. During this time, she sought help for clinical depression and drug addiction. As a part of her rehabilitation treatment Loren was working on an autobiography, which was never finished.

In 1998, Loren’s boyfriend, pornographic director Joe Gallant claims that the pair were about to start doing some sex scenes together as a start of Loren’s comeback into the adult industry.

Trinity Loren died on October 25, 1998 due to either an overdose of prescription painkillers, or a brain aneurysm.  She is interred in the Oakwood Memorial Park Cemetery in Chatsworth, California under her legal name, “Roxanne McPherson”. Gallant started his company, Black Mirror Productions, in part to raise money to support Loren’s daughter.
