"Catalina 'snapped' a couple months back, but she was only held for evaluation for about 2 weeks. I'm happy to report that she's been out since then, and doesn't need to take medication. She's good girl, but for sure a little loopy. But who isn't in this business? I don't think she's coming back into the business, as her folks found out what she did, and of course blame her breakdown on porn. But she was wacky before she took her first cock up her ass. She was a great sidekick, and we'll miss her, but we all have to move forward."

---------------

I always dug Catalina in her early pre-boob job days as she was a, for lack of a better term right now, crazy firecracker that always gave a great scene. She caught my eye in 2001 in things like Fast Times at Deep Crack High 4 with Jenna Haze, the very first Young Tight Latinas scene with August, Down the Hatch 7 ...the list goes on and on. She was always intriguing, easy and fun to watch. I wrote in my Make My Butt Cum review:

"While she‘s not as fresh-faced and cute as she was when she started and has since had her once-flat chest enhanced, I can‘t deny she gets me off because she‘s just so damn nasty. And really, isn‘t that what porn is all about? Catalina generally does it all and does it all with a natural aplomb that lets you know that for her, it‘s not about a check. It‘s about her getting off and getting you off. That, my friends, you can‘t help but respect."

When she got the implants (which I also have no quarrel with; surprising news initially but didn't take much getting used to once I actually saw them) and decided to become Max's partner-in-crime, I saw her less (because I don't generally seek out Max's product, not that I have a problem with it) and was initially surprised to find out that was the turn her career had taken but by all accounts, she was a perfect fit and knowing her, having seen her past work, I had no doubt it was true. I didn't see her again until three years later in Azz Fest 3 , in fact and haven't seen a scene of hers since (for some reason, I wasn't able to get my hands on Jules' Weapons of Ass Destruction 2 at the time). I observed:

"...this is not the same Catalina from a few years past. This Catalina has an ass, a thick piece of rump worthy of her Hispanic background. This Catalina has big enhanced breasts, some say ill-advised, I say a welcome addition to an already fine and well-oiled fuck machine. This Catalina is a seasoned veteran now and has a ton more experience under her belt, courtesy of putting in many a hardcore performance under the watchful gaze of her mentor, Max Hardcore. There’s not much you can toss Catalina’s way that she hasn’t seen before or that she isn’t capable of handling. This latina was already hell on heels before all this. This new Catalina is dangerous. Catalina, who I haven’t found attractive since back when Jenna Haze used to actually suck dick, looks AMAZING here. She has makeup on that doesn’t make her look like a demented rodeo clown, her outfit shows off her body (one I didn’t even know she had) perfectly. Simply put, she’s effervescent. I don’t believe I’ve EVER seen her look better recently."

I guess I just started this thread to say that Catalina is a special kind of performer in a class all her own and I hope that whatever inner demons she's battling, she overcomes them and gets well. For providing me so many special moments over the years, I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
