I am sure many ladies who quit porn when they were at the height of their success. I can recall Belladonna. Could you all update this list please? This could be interesting.
The queen of quitters--or, if you prefer, the queen of comebacks--has to be Christy Canyon--
According to IMDB, she has had three different stints in adult movies. The first was from September 1984-March 1985, the second was from June 1989-December 1992 and the third (and final) was from February 1995-June 1996. She has pages on OnlyFans and ManyVids, so she could still be considered active in adult.
You could perhaps argue that Jenna Jameson quit at the peak of her career. Certainly she quit at her peak looks-wise. She never looked better than she did in her final few appearances on camera. She looked incredible. Sadly, almost as soon as she retired, her looks and her life fell apart for a long time.

I realize many of these ladies still have an OF account, but I don't know if that counts as "active?"
I suppose since it was such a short career, you could say she quit at the peak, but it doesn't feel correct. Maybe there has to be a minimum period to qualify as a career.
Julie Rage in the late 90s/ early 2000s but she did make a comeback in a few interracial videos in 2014 but no anal. Loved her. I would have loved to see her in a BBC anal gangbang.
Jenna Haze (I know she's been listed before) seems to have left at the top of her game.
Sasha Grey too. She was at the top of her game when she left. I recall reading that her goal when she came into the adult business was to make $1 million and retire. Of course, that was back in the days when that was possible.
By all accounts, Brooke Wylde should be a veteran superstar by now. She had it all, an incredible natural rack, fantastic ass, girl next door looks, a wonderful personality. She seemed to be well on her way to porn superstardom and should rightfully be celebrated as one of the greats of the 2010's era; but just when she was nearing the summit...poof, gone, no goodbye, and never seen nor heard from again.
