Prior to the mid/late 80's, most of the girls in porn weren't very attractive.  Raquel was part of the new group of porn stars that were actually pretty women and didn't look like they were on drugs or being coerced into performing.  Porn started becoming mainstream around the same time and the quality of the girls kept improving.  

Though it was Lovelace that changed me forever.  LOL.  I'll never forget seeing Deep Throat with my new wife in a neighborhood suburban theatre in 1973 and a gasp went over the audience the first time she went all the way down on John Holmes.

Indeed, the funny, very shapely and athletic, big clit, sexy and erotic, Ms. Vanessa Del Rio.

She exudes pure and raw sex.

I was living in SF at that time and the infamous Mitchell Brothers had their own theater and i remember whacking off, ala PeeWee Herman to Behind the Green Door.

We may have to dial up the Wayback machine, but who was everyone's 1st favorite porn star? My was Desiree Cousteau. A little ditzy, but boy could she perform! I think she was all natural too.

She was a close 2nd to Desiree.

not from those early days but Shauna really did it for me, so sad she killed herself at the tenger age of 20

has so many hidden talents. She is sexual, candid and has some great imagination. Not for everyone but I have been a fan for years.

She has some of the most amazing COF videos I've ever seen.

I found Juliet Anderson the most attractive porn star when I started watching. I had the pleasure of meeting her years later.

I loved her sexy little voice, and after her, any gal who sported a nice bush.  That's something I miss for sure. Also, sans all the crazy piercings and tattoes, and over enhanced boob jobs.....

I had forgotten that Raquel was my first - another indication that this is the right board for me. After looking at her picture (thanks for that!) I wonder, how could I forget her?? My next was Jenna Jameson.

And, apparently we're close in age than I realized after googling her. She was the first porn star I knew of, meet and even danced with at many of the same clubs. Of course, she was a feature dancer and I was a house girl but she wasd super nice and helpful to all of us. She was a legend back when I was a stripper at Babes (east) in Indy 20 yrs ago, as a stripper and porn star. Seems she even tweets these days, so you know I'm following her now. Thanks for the great post, I love remamencing.

What memories that brings. I must admit I have come back to see her picture a few times. Thanks for the picture
