Famous 1970s Porn Stars

in Girls by RZ — October 7, 2009 |

In today’s society, the adult entertainment industry is one of the most flourishing industries in the country. Before there was the Jenna Jamison’s of the world and multiple websites for every fetish known to man, there was a group of leading ladies that paved the way for the today’s generation of starlets to take our viewing pleasure to the next level. This group of ladies probably can be found in a box of VHS tapes hidden in the back of your father’s closet. We decided to pay tribute to the original leading ladies of the adult entertainment industry.

Linda Lovelace

Notable Movies: Deep Throat (1972), Deep Throat Part II (1974), and Exotic French Fantasies (1974)

Linda Lovelace is widely considered the original porn star and starred as the lead role in one of the most well known original adult films, Deep Throat. She was ahead of her time and other leading ladies in the industry when she became the first woman to appear on screen with a completely shaved southern region and engage in backdoor activities on screen. Deep Throat was her only hardcore pornographic movie as she attempted to transition into the softcore and film industry soon after that movie. In the early 80’s, she also become an activist against the same pornography that made her famous.

Marilyn Chambers

Notable Movies: Behind the Green Door (1972), Never a Tender Moment (1979) and Insatiable (1980)

Marilyn Chambers was known as the original adult starlet actually able to earn a substantial amount of money in the porn industry. She is considered to be one the key actresses to pave the wave for generations after her to make a living from the adult film industry. Chambers was also the first known starlet to have a pierced southern region. Decades later, she has kept in front of the cameras by appearing in popular adult web sites engaging in roles as a “milf” or a “cougar.”

Ginger Lynn

Notable Movies: Surrender in Paradise (1983), Ten Little Maiden’s (1985), and Ginger Lynn: America’s Sweetheart (1992).

Ginger Lynn was one of the most recognizable faces in the adult industry in the early 80’s. She was well known in her movies for taking on two men at the same time and often had at least one scene per movie in which she was with another woman. She transitioned out of the adult industry in an attempt to establish a legitimate acting career and has since landed small roles in few movies.

Vanessa del Rio

Notable Movies: China Doll (1974), Forbidden Ways (1976), and Co-Ed Fever (1980)

Vanessa del Rio was known as the first adult star of Latin descent. Her most obvious attribute that made her famous was an extremely large hood that stuck on the screen. She was also known as the queen of the back door for her commitment to extended sessions in the rear entrance. Additionally, she was known for getting paid for her performances off the camera and charging large sums of money for this “off screen work.” She has appeared in a few hundred adult films over the course of her career.

Seka

Notable Movies: Dracula Sucks (1978), Teenage Desires (1978), Blond Heat (1985)

Seka was one of first true superstars in the adult entertainment industry. After viewing adult films, she determined that she could give a better performance on screen than anyone else she had seen. She followed suit by engaging in sexual acts with the most popular men in the industry in the early 1980’s. She left the industry in the late 80’s due to a combination of the AIDS scare and the ability to generate a better income stream performing at men’s entrainment clubs across the United States.
