LAS VEGAS - A retired porn star still easing into a
life outside the adult film business has died in a car
crash on a dangerous stretch of highway south of Las
Vegas.

Anna Hotop-Stout, 38, known to the adult film world as
Anna Malle, died Wednesday after the car she was
traveling in collided with a pickup truck while making
a U-turn. She had not been wearing a seat belt, Nevada
Highway Patrol officers said.

In her 15-year career, Hotop-Stout made more than 300
films, about one-third of them with her husband,
retired porn actor Hank Armstrong.

She was born near Havana, Ill., raised in Fort
Madison, Iowa, and began working in the porn industry
in California in the early 1990s, Armstrong said
Friday. Her first film "Here Comes Anna Malle" was
released in 1994. One of her favorites was 1995's
"Naked Desert," her husband said.

Hotop-Stout had retired from the film business a year
ago and was working at a Bloomingdale's wedding
registry in Las Vegas, Armstrong said.

"She didn't want to be known as the old chick that had
to work," he said. "She wanted a normal life again."

The Las Vegas resident was a passenger in a 2005 Dodge
Stratus that was making a U-turn on state Route 160
when it turned into the path of a 1985 Chevrolet
pickup truck, the Nevada Highway Patrol said. She was
taken to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, where
she died.

The accident occurred on 50-mile stretch of state
Route 160 that runs to Pahrump. Also known as Blue
Diamond Road, the mostly two-lane highway has been the
scene of 11 accident-related deaths in the past six
months.

I met Anna once.  I was an hour late due to traffic, but she was understanding, warm and gracious.  When I left, she called me later that day to say how glad she was to have met me.  The only provider I have met to date to have done so.  This world is somewhat less with her passing.  RIP Anna, hope to see you on the other side.
