Just curious, can think of allot that don't film anymore.
Some of the reasons are:
Studios are not interested in them, dont want pay them enough money, newer talent has pushed them to the side.
Very astute observations, you only left out one thing. Most of the directors are idiots, which makes one hate being on a set, to the point if you could, you'd make them disappear, for good!
I heard Evan Stone at an Exxxotica expo do a presentation on what it's like for guys on the set. It was hysterical. But it's a lot of doing things in weird positions, over and over, for a long time... I'm sure the same is true for the women. It's a really tough job and I can see why actresses quit after a few years - you burn out. It's not for everyone.
Condoms. Money.
This may come as news to you but the vast majority of pornstars don't actually like making porn. They LOVE the money and the freedom it gives (no 9-to-5 job) but having sex on video isn't the glamorous lifestyle you might think it is.
As the porn world has been flooded with more and more female talent (all seeking the glamorous lifestyle only to find out it isn't) and free porn has taken over, the money the girls can make has dropped substantially. And so the girls have moved to escorting, which pays better, requires less time and effort, and provides them with more control (try getting DAP with a pornstar escort, good luck). Guys delude themselves into thinking these girls are really into it. It's nothing new, it's been like that forever. Because who wants to jerk off to a girl who is secretly thinking she hates her doing this but it pays the bills? Look at Jenna Haze. Everyone said she was a nympho and as soon as she retires she comes clean on Twitter and admits she hated it the whole time. Porn is a fantasy. It's not reality. And when making porn isn't as profitable as escorting, guess what? Today girls make porn to establish their name which, in turn, enables them to get a higher escort rate (there's a good recent article on Mike South's blog about this). Before, girls did this to increase their stripping rate but that business has faded as well and escorting is the new "thing" to make good money.
I second that one!!!!!! OMG ~ it was so annoying to the point I was going to strangle them! They were so concerned that they were making the next "Gone with the Wind"!!! All I wanted to do was get laid... nobody cared about the sunset going down or the butterfly that was about to land on my ass!!! Frustrating I tell you!!!

Really sad, because most of the talent that I would like to see do more XXX scenes, don't do many any more. These lady's are from the Golden Age IMHO and have only become more sexy and more beautiful, with that Star quality i.e. JR Carrington, Jill Kelly, Houston, Kathy Willets, Teri Weigel, Kathy Willets, Farrah, Priya Rai, Brittany Andrews, Taylor Wane, Holly Body, Michelle Mclaren, Tyler Faith etc. and all escort.
I don't know about one of the best but clearly the pinnacle of savvy and smart
When you watch her movies, you know she can take care of business and more!
Plus she is one sexy lady.
