Just wondering who would be the male and female performers with the longest career in porn? I'm not talking about the number of scenes, I'm talking about years in the business. I'm thinking Ron Jeremy for males, Nina Hartley for females. Any suggestions?

Can you really consider Ron Jeremy active for the last decade and a half? I submit that Herschel Savage for length and continuity. If you can count Jeremy then I think Ginger Lynn predates Nina, but with very long absences.

2008 is Hershel Savage's 35th year in porn. He started in 1974. That is 5 years earlier than Ron Jeremy.
Runner up is probably Jamie Gillis (1971-2004, 34 years).

For females, Sharon Kane was in movies from 1978-2007, although a substantial portion of these were non-sex roles or fetish films.
Sharon Mitchell was in movies from 1975-2003, although many of the later roles were non-sex or cameo roles.

How can Georgina Spelvin be considered from 1969-2004 when she stopped performing in 1985?

Thanks Jeff and others for the feedback, very interesting, I recognise many of the performers but I have to admit I'm not familiar with most of the directors listed.

Dean, she showed up in a cameo in the new DMJ movie that Vivid put out.
Like I said, it doesn't take retirements into account. The database merely gloms the min and max of years of the movies they appear in and calls it "Years Active" -- there's no gap analysis going on.

I see but does that mean if a compilation movie is released this year and it happens to include Shauna Grant would her entry list her as active 1982-2008?

I'd question whether the first two titles (the 1971 titles) are the same Ed Powers. He seems to have started his career in 1987 and based on his birth date if he made those titles that were released in 1971 he would have been 17 at the time he made them.

Nope. You'll see if you poke around IAFD enough that compilation dates are not counted towards performers' years active. See for example Christy Canyon, whose last appearance was in a non-sex role in 2005, but was in compilations that were released in 2006 and 2007. So her years active ended in 2005.
But if a scene is only released for the first time several years late, then it will go towards the dates active. See for example Jenna Jameson, who filmed Jenna Loves Diamonds a while ago, but since it was first released in 2008, her years active go right up until 2008.
[edit: the exception to this last rule above is if someone passes away, and then has scenes released for the first time in the following year. See for example Haley Paige.]

We've actually just changed the way Years Active is handled in the database. We haven't rolled out the tag yet, so if you have an opinion on what we should call it, do tell.
I'm toying with "OldNew" which is old unreleased footage in a new movie. (Previously released footage in a new movie is already indicated as [Clip]). Anything tagged as OldNew would be ignored for the years active field.
For instance, Sara only worked in 2003, but one of her scenes was released in 2007. So we tagged her and now it shows "Years Active 2003" but that will be confusing since she has a 2007 credit without a tag...
But to answer your question (which KillBill did mostly) is to say that Comps don't count in Years Active calculations, and the year of death becomes the last year worked if movies were released post-mortem.
These exercises also help point out errors in our data (the Ed Powers data is probably erroneous, for instance) that we can then go in and fix...
In the Jenna case that KB points out, there is the chance of error, since we track year of release and not year of production...

^It's because neither of them have performed in 2008, only directed... at least as far as I know. So their director pages show years active until 2008: Silvera, Leslie... but their performer pages only show active until 2007: Silvera, Leslie.

I don't think much of this list. Shelly Lee is an example. 1 vid made in 1975 and 2 tittles released in 2001/2003, which I bet are release dates & not production dates, and she is given credit for a 28-yr career?

You're not beholden to think anything of the list.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread:
So my guess is that there's two different perfs called "Shelly Lee" who have been mixed up to create a wide career path that doesn't exist.

I say then that it is our duty to submit corrections if we see what we believe to be errors or inaccuracies. In the past I have submitted two and they were fixed so it can be done.

BTW, just to be clear...I meant no criticism of the fine work you guys do at iafd - you do us great service....I just looked at the list and Shelly whats-her-name & wondered why I did not see Nina Harley's name...Using iafd I found what clearly was a error.
....& Loraine I do try to release those "puppies" several times a day!

The "sumbit corrections" button found on all of our performer and movie pages are the way to go. All of our editors watch "the queue" and we try to keep up with the corrections and get them processed within a week or so. Some corrections take more time than others.
If you give us your email address when you submit the corrections, we can correspond about them (if need be) and the replies are posted back into the queue so we can follow along.
We strive to be as accurate as possible, but it's a challenge ... so we'll take any help we can get. :-)

No, they are counting her non-sex performance in The New Devil in Miss Jones, which isn't a shitty compilation tape.

I liked it. I especially liked that they did bring Georgina Spelvin in for her role, it was cool seeing her in the remake.

Maybe a better way of listing Georgina's career would be 1969-1985, 2004.

Hi all,

I found this topic about the longest career and i am wondering which actress or actor are nowadays still active with a long career.

I m huge fan of Sarah Vandella who started in 2007 i think but are there other ones ?

I think Penny Pax also started in 2011 and has a fantasic 9 years career.

^ I shouldn't like Penny as much as I do since I prefer younger models with small breasts... but I can't ever get enough of Penny!

Without having done the math, Nina Hartley must be near a record. She started in 1984 at 25 years old and she's was still active as of last May. Last May a scene was uploaded with her on the Nubiles site called "That Sitcom Show." The series is called "That 70s Ho" and the scene is called "Here Kitty Kitty." She would have been 60 or 61 in this scene. https://thatsitcomshow.com/video/watch/73080/that-70s-ho-here-kitty-kitty-s3e1

And yes, she does hardcore. She isn't just playing a supporting role.

It is Nina Hartley. In porn since 1984 and still actiice. 1378 movies.

Still great body, extremly horny and dirty slut, a DP and Anal legend, a dream cocksucker, hungry for sperm, a dirty lesbian, the best part in a orgy.

While they didn't have active careers as long as the superveterans like Nina Nartley and Sharon Kane, a few of my other favorites blessed us with their presence for a very long while:

Keisha -- per IAFD, 1985 - 2008. Though her activity thinned out in the 2000s, she was pretty much continuously performing for most of that period. Starting out gorgeous as a young woman in the mid 80s, in my opinion she just kept getting sexier and sexier as she aged. Magnificent.

Debi Diamond -- IAFD lists her as 1983 - 2013. After 1998, she had a long hiatus, but picked up quite a bit again around 2009. In my mind, she was one of the most exciting, enthusiastic sexual performers ever.

Jeanna Fine -- IAFD lists her as 1985 - 2002, and she was very active throughout that period except for the last couple of years, when she slowed to only a few titles per year. Forgive me, please, for noting that I was always disappointed with her breast enhancement, but that didn't affect her performances, which both sexually and histrionically were top notch.

Bunny Bleu -- IAFD lists her as 1983 - 2004, though she was only occasionally active after about 1998. During the 80s at least, she was one of those innocent looking lovelies who surprised with her sizzling efforts.

a performer that I think has not been mentioned yet is Devon. While she's not doing a lot of stuff (she did a scene for Brazzers last year with Keiran Lee and few other things for what I know) she is still active and she started in 1998.
