It’s always brighter on the other side, right? How many of you have heard about the good old times? I’m sure your parents would also whine that those vintage pornstars were much better either from the 60s, 70s, or 80s, the classic era of porn. I am not here to lecture you on these times, but there’s one thing I can do: cover some of the hottest classic-era pornstars that are now known as vintage. The pornstars from the 00s are a bit of a tricky subject because most would view these as “modern era” whores. Therefore, we will go ahead and skip that decade. We also have a separate list for 90s pornstars that you can check. Shanna McCullough Starring in masterpieces like The Blue Movie, Backdoor Brides, and Talk Dirty to Me, Shanna McCullough ended her career with over 300 movies under her belt. Those are the only official films where she is credited as an actress, so imagine the real number. People could say I should’ve promoted male names like John Holmes or Edwige Fenech, but why would anyone jizz to balls? So instead, enjoy a sensual video clip of Shanna McCullough getting fucked from behind. The video quality is far more than acceptable, considering many of her movies date back to the 80s and 90s. Kay Parker Back when fake names weren’t that common, Kay Parker, born in 1944, rose from the ground up to the heights of the heavens. Active in the 1970s and a decade afterward, this redhead vintage pornstar is still alive and will soon celebrate her 78th birthday. Nowadays, Kay Parker does some non-sense coaching sessions and videos about spirituality. You can even pay her to chat with you over the phone. Followed the predictable path of a massive slut that then becomes a saint. I believe someone of a similar nature had sex, accidentally got pregnant, and then claimed that God did it. Bambi Woods If only convincing girls were so effortless. Sure, it could be if you rock a Bentley and $100k Rolex, but for mere mortals… Guess vintage porn will have to work as an alternative. Bambi Woods is now in her 60s but polished multiple cocks in the 1970s and 1960s. Her most successful appearance was in the 1978 movie “Debbie Does Dallas,” which was a huge success. It might not look significant nowadays, but 50,000 copies sold then contributed to something. Did contractors cheat on her and never receive a dime from the sales? That’s a mystery. Angelica Bella One of the most famous Hungarian and classic pornstars of the 1980s and 1990s, Angelica Bella, is joining the ranks. Of course, there aren’t that many sluts from Hungary, so it’s one kind of snowflake. Despite a few scenes, Gabriella Dari (her early nickname) has won several awards. Most of her fame came after retirement, which is bizarre. Like rappers who go viral after their deaths, maybe she is a true artist. The internet did discover Angelica and never let her go—one of those performers who got better with time. Lisa Ann How far back do you want to go? We have a bag of true vintage porn GIFs right here, with black-on-white scenes, although this one is not! Lisa has appeared in “many” 1960s movies, including “Orgy at Lil’s Place,” which does not sound dated. Thankfully, she is one of the very few pornstars who has never left the porn club, with all her details known. Speaking of the old school and some unmentioned names, as the 60s faded into darkness, this pornstar Anita Ventura vanished without a trace of her afterward. What happened to her before the inevitable passing? It’s anybody’s guess at this point. But we do miss her tremendously. Ebony Ayes It’s no secret that the 19th century was not particularly friendly to African Americans. However, things did change afterward. Here is one of a kind, hot ebony pornstar from the 1970s, Ayes. We cannot identify the Caucasian female companion eating her upper lip, but it’s a fruity and delicious treat. I am more of the modern porn guy, but this black chick looks better than anything else I have seen in the age of today’s porn. Desiree West For the time of your life, it can’t get wilder than with a soon-to-be 70-year-old, Desireé West. Sadly, this African American bombshell doesn’t want to talk about her career as a vintage pornstar and has disappeared altogether. Thankfully, I'm not dead; I've just gone under the radar. Even so, we’ll discuss history with her because it is important. There are only a few dozen videos of her performance online, and those are from the 1970s adult flicks. Why is Desireé West among the top-rated classic pornstars? First, she was the world’s first black pornstar, an achievement no soul can take from her. That’s enough on its own, but Desireé was also one of the performers who could talk some dialogue. Yes, it was a unique quality in the golden era of porn. Darlene English Sure, it might be normal for anyone to act as a lesbian pornstar, but in 1970...? That was a different time, and Darlene English broke the ice. Imagine the shocked faces of her friends when they discovered the news. It might have been through rented VHS tapes. With luscious 44F tits and hairy pussy, Darlene shook the world with girl-on-girl, straight, as well as solo scenes. She was a bit of a “fatty,” but you also get some benefits. Mainly curves and jugs that you can wrap around your dick. → Source: Free PornHub Premium. Laura Sands Who wouldn’t want to eat her overly hairy pussy or spend the night fucking the fakest tits of them all? Boob jobs weren’t that common in the 1960s and 1970s, nor very professional looking. After the surgery, Laura had no trouble finding a job, be it hardcore porn or magazine photos. Most of which was in the 1980s when her portfolio of adult movies grew to over 40. For things to remember about her… She had no issues lactating on camera in the 1990s, which was also the age of her retirement from porn. So tracking Laura down is as problematic as with other classic pornstars. At least that won’t be an issue for the latter sluts. Desireé Cousteau Here’s a crazy scientist guy and a porn clip from the 1970s with the crazy plot filters already applied. But, unknown to many, Desireé Cousteau left a legacy behind her. For instance, the now-famous phrase “Pretty Peaches” was coined by one of her most famous adult movies ever. In her early 20s and still innocent-looking, Desireé dreamed of becoming a mainstream model. Unfortunately, her 5”5 height did not impress anyone, and her hopes shattered. However, right before the success of Penthouse, she did try lingerie modeling. → Source: Free PornHub Premium. Hyapatia Lee A colorful personality with more activities than most of the classic pornstars we have covered. Search for her, and you will find self-published books, albums, or a few mainstream titles. Her notable awards only come from the porn industry, so maybe she should have stayed there. Hyapatia Lee, a now divorced pornstar, was of the best-known models in the 70s and 80s. She even won the Nudes-A-Poppin’ (Miss Nude) contest of 1979. Can you guess which gender judges the attendees? Annette Haven Many classic pornstars come and while others remain in our hearts and souls. Annette belongs to the latter group, as people continue to talk about her to this day. It all started with a 1973 film, “Lady Freaks,” and then evolved into more than 100 other adult performances. Haven’s aspirations come from a place other than greed; at least, that’s what we were told. Do you want to guess her main reason for filming porn? To show that “sex is not sinful”; sounds like a lot of bullshit today. Traci Lords One of my favorite roleplay porn scenarios is here, close to the finish! A serious detective and one hotwife. The one who will do anything to find her missing husband. Her pornographic career lasted two years, albeit a memorable one. Traci Lords was one of the top-paid actresses in the late 1980s, earning as much as $1000 per video. At the age of 15, she got paid $5,000 from Penthouse, and no one reported her for being underage. What a fucked up world. Pat Wynn Auntie Jane or Paty Wynn is a DD-cup pornstar from the classical porn times of the 1980s and 1990s. Initially more of a model, this curly-haired stunner appeared in multiple magazines and captivated everyone. Of course, that’s with her burning lust and a mom-like, positive attitude. Pat did not have much hardcore porn and preferred solo videos or photoshoots. Even the GIF above has her with a random vagina and not cock close to pussy. Guess both items could warm this slut up. Sad to see that she has never discovered the joy of a hot cock. Linda Lovelace It isn’t your typical pizza or broken pipe scenario. Vintage pornstars roleplay as librarians, construction workers, and detectives, which is something of a novelty these days. Her history is fascinating and sad. According to her divorce papers, Linda was forced to do porn at gunpoint. It was also hardcore porn called “Deepthroat,” which was a shocking sight back in the 1970s. However, her nuts and bolts broke in 1980 when Linda joined the anti-pornography movement. Following a car crash, she expired in 2002 and joined the ranks of dead pornstars. Are you comfortable watching those? Vanessa del Rio Human’s mouths water from the sight of someone eating lemons, while Rio makes your mom’s mouth water by sucking dick. Twisting, then pulling the tip with her tongue, adjusting the intensity and grip. She spent six years doing that and probably settled down afterward. A wife who gives a good head is the secret to a happy marriage. Many pornstars give up after a year or two, but Vanessa was committed to a craft. She started working in Sweden in the late 80s, got interested in lesbian porn scenes but never had an opportunity to do one. Dawn Knudsen Hey, don’t look at her like that; she is someone’s mom! A bisexual pornstar from the 70s and 80s, Dawn Knudsen, was a pinup before jumping to porn. Even before swallowing in front of a camera, she escorted too! No matter women or men. Looks like it was a bit of a rollercoaster ride for Dawn, a then-popular pornstar born in Sweden. You know, a country of gorgeous blonde pornstars that feminine men now ruin - no regrets about this classic babe. Christy Canyon Now American radio personality, back then, a massive whore that got all her holes stretched. Canyon had four spouses, and the first marriage lasted only a year, which was good for her! Christy is not ashamed of her past and starred in the “After Porn Ends” movie you can find on YouTube. Having slept with over 100 men on camera alone, this dick swallower was active in the 1980s and 1990s. For some bizarre reason, Christy admits to having protected sex only. That must have sucked for all the male partners. Samantha Strong Here is Samantha’s famous and extremely rare facial porn scene. You can guess by the GIF's lighting, colors, and quality that this girl is not old. Having appeared in the 1980s movies, Strong earned herself a title in the AVN Hall of Fame. Only over a dozen of her scenes exist on the internet, so consider yourself blessed. Her husband has a more interesting and impressive bio, working as a detective, helping to catch bad guys. Yes, he was a police informant. → Source: Free PornHub Premium. Nina Hartley Hartley is the only vintage pornstar that has not retired from porn, which counts for something. So I’ll go ahead and join the crowd of people who are tired of Nina. After all, it has been more than 30 years since her appearance. Like the Japanese, though, we must respect our elders. The most active sluts will usually have slightly more than 100 adult movie titles in their credits. The dirtiest will double or triple the number, maybe even reach 500. So, where does Nina Hartley stand? At the very top, with just shy above 1,000 movies! → Source: Brazzers.com. Ginger Lynn Ranked as one of the best pornstars of all-time by AVN, Ginger Lynn sits comfortably in our list. Unfortunately, the 1980s make her more of a classical pornstar than a vintage slut. You should not search for her recent pictures, as this doesn’t look good. Her early scenes, however, are magnificent, although they did not last long. Ginger retired from porn in 1986 and decided to go mainstream instead. How is she doing? No roles for more than ten years. → Source: Free PornHub Premium. Little Oral Annie Does she suck dick well? Yes, she does, pussies too! Annie also performed deepthroat scenes, which is why she got the name Little Oral Annie. Nowadays, pretty much anyone can do that shit, even your grandma. There is a video of her and Peter North if you want to see her skills in a video. Just a perfect pornstar with anal, facials, and legendary deepthroat scenes over the unnecessary music. That is her legacy! Lastly, Annie did enjoy her job, unlike some of the actresses. Especially during the era of 80s porn when everyone wanted to be a pornstar but changed their minds after a single scene. → Source: Free PornHub Premium.
