Interview With Seka

13 05 2008

When you think about it, adult stars come a dime a dozen. There is an endless sea of women who drift in and out of the adult business never to be heard from again. Most of them come along to make a quick buck, not giving much thought into what they are doing. They disappear just as quickly as they came never to be heard from again.

There are a few who come along who turn the entire industry on it’s head. Women who become superstars and achieve a level of fame not often achieved by a porn star. What makes these women different from the average run-of-the-mill starlet? What is it that they have that the others do not?

Women who reach the upper echelon of porn greatness all have a few things in common with one another. First and foremost, they are beautiful creatures, with an appeal that sets them apart from the rest of the crowd. There is just something about them, that you just cannot put your finger on, that adds to their attractiveness. They also have to have a little luck, and come into the business at the right time and place. But most of all they are all enthusiastic about what they do. They are painfully aware of their sexual power, and use it to light-up the screen with powerful performances, and instantly capture the desire of multitudes of men.

You can literally count the number of women who reach the very top of the porn business on your fingers. You have your Annettes, your Gingers, your Jennas and then you have Seka. One of a kind, Seka was one of the first superstars of adult cinema. Like a blond sex bomb she burst upon the scene and was an instant star. She passionately performed for several years and enjoyed a longevity that few women in the adult entertainment industry achieve.

I recently contacted her, and she agreed to be interviewed. I was completely surprised how easy she was to contact and how willing she was to participate. She is a very gracious and down-to-earth person and it has been an absolute honor to interview her.

Where were you born?

Seka: Radford Virginia

Where did you grow up?

Seka: Virginia

What was your family life like, your parents, siblings, how would you describe your family?

Seka: 1 brother 1 sister, both older; I’m the baby. Pretty normal I guess. Parents divorced when I was young. I am still close with nearly everyone in my family.

What was your earliest sexual experience? At what age did you lose your virginity?

Seka: April 22,1972, the day after I got married the first time.

I read that you were a beauty queen in high school and during your early adult life. What are some of the pageants you won?

Seka: Miss Hopewell High School and Miss South-side Virginia.

What other jobs did you have before getting involved in adult entertainment?

Seka: Factory worker, waitress, shoe sales person, bartender…

Did you go to college?

Seka: Yes, Northwestern in Chicago

I read that you were once a co-owner of a few adult bookstores before you became involved in the adult film business. How did you get involved with the owning a bookstore and was that something you enjoyed?

Seka: I was dating a person who owned one and then as time went on we bought several more of them and yes I did enjoy the stores very much.

When did you first become involved in the adult film industry?

Seka: It was in the late 70’s.

When did you start using the name “Seka” and what does it mean?

Seka: The first movie I did I was asked what name I wanted to use and I said ” I don’t know use “SEKA” What I have been told it means is “LITTLE GIRL”

You performed with some of the best known studs of the 70’s and 80’s. I’m going to throw out a couple of men that you performed with and I want you to give me your impression of them. Randy West, John Leslie, Jamie Gillis, and Ron Jeremy.

Seka: They were, and still to this day, some of the most wonderful men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing or being with.

You also performed with the “King” John Holmes. In fact, it appears that you may have performed with him more than any other woman, and according to your IAFD page, you did more scenes with John than any other man during your career. How close were you with John in your personal life? Were the two of you ever romantically involved off-screen? How was he as a performer? A person?

Seka: I loved John and will always love John. We were never lovers off screen. John was always a perfect gentleman with me as a performer and as a person.

I read somewhere that you spent a year in rehab in the late 70’s. Is this correct?

Seka: I was never in rehab for anything ever. I never did see drugs on the movies I worked on so I can not answer this question for you.

I was also surprised to learn that you actually spent some time in jail in San Diego during the early 80’s. What lead to that ordeal? What were you arrested for? Were you actually sentenced to a prison term, or just arrested?

Seka: I spent 12 hours in the Women San Diego Prison for lewd dancing and obscene conduct.
I was never convicted as it was a case of they just wanted to try to make an example of someone and it turned out that I was not the one.

Your IAFD page says that you actually directed two titles. Was directing something that you enjoyed? Why did you not pursue more directing jobs?

Seka: I enjoyed it very much though it is very stressful and I just wanted to give it a try.

You stayed active in adult film from the late 70’s through the early 90’s, which is an eternity in adult film. You started at 24 years old which is the age most girls retire from the business. You actually retired at about 40 which is just way beyond when most girls give it up. Despite your age, you were in high demand throughout your career. Why did you give it up? What made you quit the film business? Could you have kept going?

Seka: I am sure I could have kept going but I am in love with living and there were no demands being made for testing in those days so I stopped.

The adult film business has changed a lot since your heyday. Do you think has changed for the better or worse? What do you think is lacking in today’s porn movies?

Seka: I don’t fell it has changed for the better. It seems to me that most everyone looks the same these days, there is no romance any more or at least a reason for sex to happen in the first place. It seems to me that that there is so much ANGER in today’s Adult Movies and for me at least SEX and that kind of ANGER do not mix.

What have you been up to all these years after you left the adult film business? Where have you lived? What have you been through? Tell us about things you have been involved in. Your fan club, websites, personal life… etc…

Seka: For the most part I have been working on www.seka.com and my life.

I remember reading that you performed in a hardcore scene a few years ago and that it is available on the Internet. Where can your fans go to see the scene?

Seka: On my site www.seka.com under the VOD banner that says ” clips.com “


What was it like to perform in a sex scene after all the years away from adult film?

Seka: I didn’t miss a beat. LOL

Describe the scene, what can your fans expect to see watching you perform hardcore at over 50?

Seka: The only difference I saw was that I had a hell of a lot more fun, there was no pressure.

Was it just the one scene, or have you done more? If not do you plan on doing any more?

Seka: There were several scenes, go and watch.

Did you ever have any children over the years?

Seka: No, I never wanted children.

It’s surprising to learn that you never really left the adult business. You pretty much stayed active with your fan club, dancing and websites, etc. Do you have any plans of ever retiring completely?

Seka: No.

Are you currently romantically involved with anyone? Married? Dating? Single?

Seka: Married.

Do you enjoy interaction with your fans? Have you ever dated any of your fans? What is the best way that your fans can contact you?

Seka: Yes I enjoy interacting with my fans, never dated my fans. and the best way to reach me is through www.seka.com .

Any chance you would ever hookup with a younger fan, say by about 20 years, who runs a website about retired porn stars?

Seka: No, I’m married and I take that very seriously.

That was a joke… I guess it does not hurt to ask

Seka is still a hot, sexy, smokin' lady

Is there anything else in your life that you would like to mention that I did not cover? Anything you would like to say to your fans?

Seka: Thank each and every one of my fans from the bottom of my heart, with out all of you I would not be who I am today and I owe that to my fans. They were and to this day the BEST FANS a girl could ever have.

Thank you very much for your time, and I would love to do another interview sometime in the future when there are new things to talk about. Please stay in touch.

Seka: Well hopefully that will be very soon. You see I have a book coming out …
The title is “Inside Seka” just like the movie and as a matter of fact it will have the same cover on the book as the movie has.

I will get in touch with you when the book comes out to discuss it.

She invented the name Paige Summers for her pornographic modeling career. She appeared in several issues of High Society and Cheri magazines in 1995, and was first chosen Penthouse Pet of the Month for August 1996, but her fame came as Penthouse Pet of the Year for 1998 - the first North Carolinian to be so chosen. Kia Motors gave her a Sportage SUV as part of her award, and in exchange for advertising. She claimed to earn half a million dollars a year. Summers appeared on the Howard Stern show, and several Penthouse videos.

Nancy Coursey traveled the world as part of her career, including to India and Australia, but kept in touch with her family, and by 2003 had moved back to live with them in Morganton. She was engaged to be married to local pharmacist and real estate owner Bracey Bobbitt on October 11, 2003.

Stephanie Swift, Actress, Director, Producer

16 04 2008

Stephanie Swift (born February 7, 1972 in Louisiana) is a American pornographic actress who has been actively making movies (with occasional breaks) since 1995. She has appeared in over 300 adult movies.

Stephanie Swift was born in Louisiana and has described herself as a mutt in terms of ethnicity: Cajun. Irish, English, French, Spanish, Filipino and Norwegian. When she was 10 years old, her father died of cancer and her family then relocated to Southern California. At 19 she lived in San Diego, California and worked as a stripper for 6 months at a local club called The Body Shop (not to be confused with the cosmetics store chain). She earned an Associate’s Degree in Dental Assistance, and eventually became a registered dental assistant. She posed in nude modelling photographs for five years after that.

She segued from nude model work to the region’s adult film industry, where she has been since 1995. Her first softcore scene was in Playboy TV’s Up Close and Dangerous. Her first hardcore sex scene was in Space Sirens. She went on to become a very successful adult actress, winning several awards, including AVN’s coveted Female Performer of the Year in 1997.

Despite a lack of new releases, she still has an official website and makes appearances on the exotic dancing circuit as a featured performer, thanks largely to her notoriety and built-in fanbase from her adult film days. In 2006, Swift was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

Her trademark acts include lesbian scenes, and she was usually cast as the prim and proper professional woman who goes bad. While she did a number of anal scenes in the first few years of her career, she has shied away from them in recent years. She is openly bisexual in her personal life, preferring relationships with females to that of males.

In 2004 she launched her own production company called Swift Entertainment, in which she is a director, screenwriter and producer.

Taken from Wikipedia

Stephanie speaks of her new endeavors:

“As of 2004, I celebrated my 10th year in the industry. I have earned a place at the top of the adult industry. My ambition and drive have paid off with the beginning of my movie production company, Swift Entertainment. This year marks the launch of the new and improved stephanieswift.com which proves to finally truly reflect my presence the way I want to be online. My first series is Swift Tours. I have produced, directed, and starred in the first two productions for Swift Entertainment shot on location in Brazil and at the Brazilian Sex Club. I am currently in legal issues involving certain parties, but when all is said and done -you will not be disappointed with these movies. I promise you will find yourself thoroughly satisfied”

Katie Gold the Webmaster

29 03 2008

Katie GoldRemember Katie Gold? The cute-as-can-be gonzo girl from the late 90’s. The one who retired from the adult business in 1999 at the age of 21?

Well after her retirement, Katie graduated from Philadelphia University with a degree in fashion merchandising and promptly returned to the porn life in August of 2002. Apparently she is putting her education to good use. Katie’s MySpace page says that although she is not officially retired, she has not been performing much lately because she is focusing on producing her own web content and managing her own websites. One of her sites is www.xxxUrbanLegends.com according to her profile.

Katie has also attempted to form a porn actors union similar to the Screen Actors Guild in mainstream Hollywood.

An Interview with Julie Winchester a.k.a Gina Carrera

9 03 2008

Gina Carrera

I recently caught up with Gina Carrera after a reader requested information about her. I found that she is now going by Julie Winchester, which is her real name, and runs her own website JulieWinchester.com . Julie, always known for her athletic build, still has it going on these days and I would highly recommend her site to any serious fan. Julie was gracious enough to answer all of my questions and I really appreciate her willingness to be interviewed.

Where were you born and where did you grow up?

I was born in Ft. Worth, Texas, I only stayed there a short time until my mother took my sister and I and got out of Texas and took us to Oregon, and from there Arizona, so of course I grew up a little in all these places, eventually we moved to LA and I felt like this was the place I really belonged so much excitement and glamour etc. I was about 13 when I first got my taste of LA, we stayed for several years

What was your early childhood like?

My early childhood consisted of lots of chaos and moving around my mother always on the hunt for the right husband (she finally found him, THANK GOD)

Gina Carrera

When did you lose your virginity? Who was it with?

I lost my virginity at 16, I had done the usual fooling around before that but I had met this older guy at an under age club and I thought he should be the one, It wasn’t anything special, I remember he was missing a finger, I know this isn’t relevant but since I’m taking a walk down memory lane it’s all coming back, the funny part is he has turned out to be a VERY well known plastic surgeon here in Los Angeles I’ve seen him on many TV shows

Did you hold any other jobs before your career as an adult entertainer?

I dropped out of high school in my sophomore year I was told if I was going to do that I would have to get a job, I did, I worked at a cleaners, fast food places an apt operator, a lot of small time stuff.

How did you first become involved with adult entertainment?

I met a guy I really liked and moved in with him, he lived on the beach in Santa Monica CA. He was my boss at a copy place I was working, I quit and he took care of me for awhile, I got restless I mean, how many days can you go to the beach and that’s all.. He had several men’s magazines in his closet and while he was at work I would look at them and get very excited, I loved the pictures I loved how they made me feel, I loved how wet they made me when I would look at them, it was a turning point in my life for sure!! I got a local newspaper and found an ad for nude models wanted, I called the guy he came out to our apt. took several pictures and submitted me for many jobs, I got most of them, that photographer became a very good friend of mine and I eventually left my boyfriend and moved in with him, it wasn’t a love thing but we did fool around sexually, I wouldn’t let him fuck me but he would masturbate me all the time!!

Gina Carrera

So did the second guy get you into the film business as well?

I got sick of him, and found World modeling Agency, booked many more jobs, men’s magazines mostly at that time I wasn’t interested in doing Porn, I had been shot too many times and there wasn’t that much print work I hadn’t done. I got used to having a lot of cash and Jim South the top porn agent then, and now I believe, asked if I would be willing to do something called a loop, I struggled big time but decided to do it, it was brutal for me, but I got through it I felt very sleazy, once the word got out I got offered several starring roles and began to really make a name for myself, and I got a lot more comfortable with my sexuality and being in front of the camera.

What was the first porn film you appeared in?

Stiff competition was my first starring role.

How many films did you appear in?

I probably made close to 100 movies, a lot of just scenes in most of them.

Have you ever watched yourself?

I had never viewed my own movies until years later, I get a kick out of watching them sometimes, I did some really silly roles, some hot and some not!!

How long were you active in the adult film business?

Despite what some might say my career was only about 2 years long in porn.

Gina Carrera

Why did you leave the porn industry?

I left porn because I met someone that I fell in love with and he would have no part of that part of my life. I was more than happy to leave porn behind.

What did you do after you left the industry?

I began to strip at bachelor parties and made a lot of cash doing that as well.

You have also been involved with female wrestling. How did you get involved with that?Gina Carrera

I started the wrestling at the same time, the lady that owned the company I worked for called ” BODY LANGUAGE” also wanted to start a female wrestling company we did and today she owns and operates Double Trouble Productions, who I still work for to this day.

You did a lot of fetish stuff after leaving the industry as well. Tell us about that.

All of the other fetish stuff I was doing in the meantime, lots of bondage, foot fetish, tickling, peeing, pussy fighting, yes I said pussy fighting. You name it I’ve probably done it. I really enjoy most of the fetish work I do it’s a lot more creative than just fucking.

You offer a lot of different services on your website. What are some of the things you offer to your fans?
I do do private sessions as well as custom videos for my fans. I do have a site to view for free juliewinchester.com (my real name), and I’m working on building ginacarrera.com, where you can see all my work, fetish, single masturbation, and some guy girl interaction, trust me there’s lots to have fun with, this should be up and running by next month early April.

Gina CarreraSo in a sense you never really quit doing porn? How much longer do you plan on entertaining?

I’ve never left the adult business just mixed things up a lot and I’ve enjoyed every minute and hope to be around it for a couple of more years at least.

How old are you now and how do you keep in such great shape?

I am 44, I work out everyday and live a healthy lifestyle.

Still sexy at 44?

I’m still a very sexual woman and I always will be, but now it’s on my terms not some director’s.

What would you like to say to your fans?

I hope that you will visit me on my sites and let me know if you’d like to work with me (or) play, it’s been fun visiting the past and I hope that you have learned a little more about me, and most of all Thank you for being fans, I forgot to mention I did have a short stint in music, and made a CD that I’m very proud of , you can check that out on my site as well, Much Love!! Julie Winchester, AKA (Gina Carrera)

40 Years Of Marilyn Chambers

4 03 2008

Marilyn Chambers EarlyMarilyn 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

Marilyn Chambers - Ivory Snow BoxChambers 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.

Marilyn Chambers - Behind the Green DoorIn 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.

Marilyn Chambers RecentIn 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.”

Other work

* Marilyn Chambers also had some chart success with the Disco single “Benihana” in 1976, produced by Michael Zager on the Roulette Records label. In the 2004 United States presidential election, Marilyn Chambers ran for Vice President on the Personal Choice Party ticket, a quasi-libertarian party. She received a total of 946 votes.

Fictional portrayals

* In 2000, Tracy Hutson played Chambers in the made-for-cable biopic about the Mitchell Brothers, Rated X.

Amber Lynn, Still Occasionally Performes At 44

21 02 2008

Amber LynnAmber 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.Amber Lynn Recent

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.

Trinity Loren, Dead At 34, Overdose

19 02 2008

Trinity LorenTrinity Loren (born Joyce Evelyn McPherson August 21, 1964 in La Jolla, California, USA and died October 25, 199 8) 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.

Teri DiverTeri Diver (born September 6, 1971; died January 2, 2001) was an American pornstar and director.

Diver was one of the most prolific pornstars of the 1990s, appearing in over 200 movies. She was popular throughout her hardcore career, and one of the most recognizable women in porn through sheer hard work and persistence. Well known for her curvaceous body, she later had cosmetic surgery to increase the size of her breasts.

Although she always preferred not to discuss details of her early life, it is known that Diver became an ‘emancipated youth’ at the age of 13. She graduated from high school ahead of her class and entered college at a young age. There, she claimed to have majored in “behavior modification.” Teri was a vegetarian.

After turning 18, Diver paid her way through school by stripping on the side. Upon graduation, Teri Diver married Tom Elliott, who she met while he was playing drums in a bar band.

Diver worked as a school teacher, and supplemented this income by holding down a part-time job at weight-loss clinic Nutri-System. Eventually Diver and Elliot moved to California, where they faced a variety of financial problems. Somehow, the school teacher and musician found their way onto the set of Taboo IV, where they met director Henri Pachard, who convinced Diver to try her hand at porn.

Diver broke into the business in 1991, heating up a series of scorching sex scenes. Among her early flicks are Bikini City, in which she has sex with Elliott. In one steamy scene with Elliot she deep throats him, then joins Peter North and Brandy Alexandre for a threesome. One of Diver’s most memorable scenes can be found in the second Seymore Butts feature, Seymore Butts Rides Again, where she takes part in a threeway with Melanie Moore and Ted Wilson in the opening of the movie.

Diver and Elliott soon moved into directing and producing their own flicks, with the help of AVN publisher Paul Fishbein. They worked well as a team, with Diver writing, directing and performing, while Elliot produced, wrote and did all the music. Together, they made a string of features, forty of which were directed by Diver.

Diver was a migraine headache sufferer for years, which led to her death on January 2, 2001. She apparently took an overdose of her migraine medication, which caused her to go into cardiac arrest. Diver left behind a plethora of adult films behind as her legacy, but she was always most proud of the work she did behind the camera.

She was survived by her spouse, porn actor Ren Savant, and one child.
