If nearly 30 years is a long time, then it's definitely been a long time. With age comes wisdom, acceptance of the past and maybe a hint of nostalgia. For whatever the reasons, I've recently decided sneaking back into the public eye may at least be a cure for the boredom we've all been experiencing over the past 24+ months.
So, here I am, and find myself really looking forward to possibly reconnecting with old industry colleagues and fans who probably assumed those rumors about me dropping off the face of the Earth and moving to Brazil (or something) were true. If any of you are still out there. :) Maybe I imagined the mid-90s, but I'm pretty sure I was a "name" for a while there.
Where have I been and what have I been up to? Marriage. Raising a family in California. Getting into to rollerblading, martial arts and spending long hours at my dojo. Joining the dreaded rat race in an honestly fulfilling legal-related career. I've had a wonderful and very normal life since we last spoke, for which I'm grateful.
I'm also grateful to have eventually been able to embrace my past instead of hiding from it. Over the last few months that process has included launching and developing a brand new website, getting up to speed with the whole Twitter thang - and even releasing new material on one of those unmentionable adult subscription sites. I don't want my first post here to be over-promotional, but I did spend some time working on my profile this morning and there are links to be found there. But truly: that's not really why I'm here...
So, why join AdultDVDTalk then? I found this site after they retweeted one of my posts and was very surprised and impressed at the thriving community of fans and industry folks which I found. While I am regularly sharing new softcore material on my website and elsewhere, I don't see any new Adult DVDs on my horizon, but am more than happy to Talk about the old ones. See what I did there? I crack myself up. If no one else.
OK, this is getting long. Seriously - I'm happy to be back in circulation and look forward to reconnecting with old fans/friends/colleagues if that's the way the wind decides to blow on this terrific site. Please reply or reach out if you like, and excuse me while I go read a bunch of forum posts. And if any of the new images I've tried to post are way too big - please bear with me. I have lots of new stuff I'd like to share here with anyone interested, but have a lot to learn about, well, the web in general. I'll get there.
Morbid: I appreciate the "hall of fame" quote. And you really went out of your way with the compliments. Humor and depth. Not sure how to best review old reviews, but - I'd call that a great review!
I don't go out of my way to watch these old films or whatever clips are online... but you obviously made an effort. Thank you. You'll have to give me more detail re: Roxanne Hall.
We were all ships that passed in the night back then.
OMFG! Vanessa Chase! It is so good to see you back after all these years.
You were one of the best of your era--and of any era. I still remember well many of your scenes. May I also say you look great, really great.
To those younger members who may not have heard of you, well maybe they can learn of you now. A legend for sure!
Anyway, once again: welcome back!!
Edit:My apologies. In my haste to reply I forgot to say congratulations on your marriage, family, work, and all of the rest of the 30 years since we saw you. So...Congrats!

Welcome, Vanessa! So glad that you've decided to join us here at ADT!
You were definitely one of the faves of my college days! Exceptional performer.
Awesome to hear that you've led a fulfilling life between your porn days and now... and equally awesome to hear that you've embraced your past and are back in the public eye.
I've also enjoyed your blog posts thus far on your site link.
Looking forward to hearing more of your insights and stories.
Wow, guys. It was really nice to wake up to all these new posts this morning. I'll get to each of them in turn. Who knew ADT could be so much fun and has such a great group of members? Not me, anyway - glad I figured it out. And I'm even starting to get the hang of BBCode. See what I did there? A very proud personal moment.
I've also emailed with the webmaster, and he's given me his blessing to do a little more direct self-promotion for my new online ventures (most of which are free) so... there's no time like the present. My website isn't going to visit itself.
IAmVanessaChase.com This is my new labor-of-love website which has been up for a couple of weeks now. While I have had help, I definitely never thought I'd be getting familiar with Wordpress at my age. There are free galleries including classic and brand new photos, and my web buddy is also working on a video gallery or something. I have to save the really spicy stuff for OnlyFans (a girl's gotta supplement her income), but made the decision to be as generous as possible with website content. So I don't think you'll be disappointed. You'll also find a blog there where I've been posting and really enjoying it. You can leave comments on the posts which I promise to answer personally. Feel free to ask questions or offer up ideas for future posts in the blog comments... as probably my favorite part of all this so far has been interacting with y'all. And you've probably already figured out I enjoy writing. Hope that back-and-forth starts happening on the blog too - but I'm not going anywhere, new ADT friends.
Twitter: @VanessaChaseOG Pretty sure you're familiar with how Twitter works by now. I've had some great conversations there and even reconnected with Tom Byron who came out of the woodwork to say hello. Must be 25 years since we've talked. Twitter is also how I discovered Drew and ADT! So, if you're a Twitter user, look me up. I've also been sharing new material which might be a little racier than what's on the website. Let me know what you think and please Tweet me a hello.
https://onlyfans.com/ogvanessachase While I have no plans for new hardcore (sorry), I love being naked and you'll find no shortage of photos/videos of me in the buff on OF. I wanted to keep the cost low compared to other porn stars I've seen on there, and to date I've never tried to upsell anything to people who have already subscribed - which I was told early on by a fan gets super annoying and is a huge turn-off. Not my style. I do my best to post something every day, and there's already a big collection of media built up - over 130 posts I think? It's also been fun to mix my daily life and hobbies into the material, so don't be surprised if you see me flashing while rollerblading or doing martial arts with a onesie riding up my bottom. It could happen, and maybe it already has. Great way to distract a ninja before clobbering him with my bō.
Thanks for bearing with me. The self-promotion isn't my favorite part of this comeback, but it's a necessary evil. And, again, a lot of what I'm working on and sharing doesn't cost anything or I don't think I'd be bothering. Hope to see you around some of my web-whatevers, and I appreciate everyone I've met here on ADT very much. You sure know how to flatter a gal. - Vanessa
Thanks so much, Matchmaker! Here's a little treat for your friendliness... although I'm not a huge fan of that loose thread I just noticed near my bottom! :)
Thanks, FU Q. And I appreciate you linking to my blog. I've really enjoyed writing there and it's even been cathartic at times. No one gets out of the adult industry unscathed! My most recent post was supposed to be about what it feels like being recognized in 2022... but turned pretty introspective before it was over.
The tough part is coming up with new ideas a few times a week... but I'll bet the community here has some ideas for me. Don't be shy! If you have a question about a favorite movie of mine, or even what songs I'm listening to - we're limited only by our imaginations. My memory, however, is another question. That may turn out limited... but I'll do my best.
Speaking of music, I put a link to my Spotify playlists in my profile if anyone is interested. Today has turned into a Tribe Called Quest rabbithole for some reason.
You're too kind, Lenny. For what it's worth, it is indeed really me!
And thank you for linking to that other VC thread. I hadn't seen it yet. You're right - looks pretty dead, but maybe I should drop in and say hello? What do you think?
Vanessa, when you were active you were in my Top 5 stars. I would buy or rent any video with you in it just to see your scenes. I mentioned in another thread that to this day, almost 30 years after it was released, your scene with Seymore Butts in "Seymore and Shane do Ireland" remains one of my all-time favourites. I still have that scene and I still watch it.
Currently I only have four of your scenes in my collection and I think I might need to head to some VOD sites to change that.
But seriously, what discipline of martial arts are you studying? What level are you studying at? Do you use other weapons besides the pole you're posing with? Do you compete at events?
For the record, my favorite scene of yours was with Misty Rain and a bunch of guys in Butt Banged Cycle Sluts. That was a really hot ending!
hello Vanessa Chase. you are my favorite pornstar of all times. I lurk these forums but created a profile now because of you
Incredible you are showing up like this after all these years. You are beautiful and charming as ever! after all the mystery. Glad you are healthy and happy
this was the first movie of yours I saw. it was so long ago it was when we had to rent the adult video. But this video was so hot I bought it in all format
The other girls in it were okay but you were like.... spell binding. You did not look like a pornstar..... you looked like the chicks on my campus. except incredible sexual performer!!
^ Vanessa, please, please, please consider giving an interview to Captain jack. It would be so good to read about you and how you've been over the past years. (BTW - yeah, I've said this here or in another thread, but you are drop-dead gorgeous!)
Wow - I spend one day away from ADT and look at all the new posts! I'm loving you guys and this community. Very flattering, and I'll do my best to reply to you all personally.
Thanks a lot, Norman! Out of everyone, I may be the most surprised I finally decided to pop my head back up and do the website and everything. But no regrets so far!
Thanks. I'm talking with a company about adding a VOD store with some of my titles to https://iamvanessachase.com. I don't know much about that sorta thing yet, but if we can make it work I guess it makes sense!
I just wrote a post for an adult blog where I address the Brazil rumor a bit. I'll share it here when it's live, but the short answer is, "no". Never lived there. It was a vacation which just happened to coincide with my departure from the industry.
I'm also working on a blog post (https://iamvanessachase.com/blog/) about my martial arts studies. I'll share that here when it's done, as well. But I see too that Ian already figured out some of the details above.
Sorry Mike! but she is married and raising family....you were "cock blocked" a long time ago
Vanessa thank you for the reply. It is nice to hear from you too
I have more historical document to show you
This magazine is from 1998! different name than Vanessa Chase. this magazine has four languages....English, Swedish, French and Norwegian! but it say the photos are from Costa Rica
now it is all antique. No one scans magazines anymore, no one collects magazines anymore. Oh the things we used to do for some porn
How did you like working with Max Hardcore? Did he wear his cowboy hat during your scenes? What type of scenes were your favorite type to shoot? Any humorous stories that happened BTS while on set? Any horror stories?
Yes - all cocks are blocked these days. Except for the one.
Thanks for sharing this mag set, Ian. I started a "magazines" gallery on the website, but haven't found as much old mag material online as I thought I might (not that that's the worst thing) and it's pretty barren so far. I want to keep the site non-hardcore, but I can use the first image.
If anyone else has older personal favorites in their collection, that are PG-13 or maybe slightly R-rated, please feel free to share. I'm focused on making new R-rated stuff and haven't spent much time looking around online. Probably because I'm slightly worried what I may find.
All that said, I'd be bummed to start seeing my OnlyFans stuff here. Let me share that myself now and then please.
I suppose that question was inevitable. Maybe I'll share what I remember in an upcoming blog post (making a note), but I don't think I ever saw that MH scene after it was finished... and will surely continue to resist the urge.
BTS/fond/horror stories are definitely on the way though. The fond really boiled down to my costars, male or female (or both). Maybe I should do a "favorite female costar" post?
I looked this up! Max Hardcore did several scenes with Vanessa but the one I saw, he did not wear cowboy hat. instead he wore baseball cap.
Even though it is an anal movie, it is actually quite a cute and romantic scene. 20 minutes of it is just Max following Vanessa around a Grand Prix racing event in Long Beach, California
The camera shows her walking through crowds of people, none of them realizing they are being recorded for a porno video!
When Max finally gets hold of Vanessa, they do a lot of kissing and cuddling and foreplay
Only really creepy part is when they are in private Max uses a very sharp pocket knife to cut off Vanessa's summer dress
It is too bad the dress was destroyed. It looked good on her
Vanessa, the recent pics of you I posted are from you twitter. I am not a member of OnlyFans....Sorry! I am sure the content is good, I am just "old fashioned" about porn
As for PG-13 content, that will be difficult. Because most everything you did in 1990's was XXX-rated!!
This is porn talk forum, after all.....No need to worry! You look terrific in all of it. Loved to watch you in hardcore action
Okay but here is another historical document. but Softcore!
It is screenshots of you appearance in 1995 R-rated movie. "Romancing Sara"
You are not credited as Vanessa Chase! It is a different name
Sorry for low resolution. Hard to find good resolution of those 1990's "direct-to-video" softcore movies! way before digital and HD
