Wodgers,
There is already a thread here about males 18, or under 20 in the business. Please don't derail threads like this. This topic is about lady performers.
if the point is regarding women over 30 performing in the industry, it would seem to me that you could also use retired performers who were active post-thirty (before they retired.) That is unless you were specific to the here and now in your discussion.
I'm guessing this would add considerably to the list and would ask if anyone is aware who this would include. does anyone have any idea how old Hyapatia Lee was when she retired? She was an all-time fave of mine and I seem to remember her playing more mature roles.
And although this is about the third time I've heard mention of of Dana Vespoli 's age, it is truly amazing...I would've put her at about 21-22! Good genetics, I guess!

Even though they do good work, I find it hard to believe that Nina and Shayla are not at least 5-8 years older than the posted age. I know what pages and sites say, but both appear much older.
I believe Shayla first appeared in the late 80s or early 90s so her age doesn't seem out of the question. She still has a sexy little body on her too.
There's a big difference between an 18 year old body and a 35 year old body. Especially considering how you abuse it during those 17 years with diet, exercise and lifestyle choices (smoking, drugs and drinking.)

Bottom line, they are both over 30. It's not so much that the ages are "Out of Line" it's just that older stars tend to lie more about there age.
I will say that one of my cousins is the same age as Nina claims to be, and also attended the same school at the same time. He is also a long time porn hound, and has no recolection of her.
You'd think after her 20 years career, he'd be able to say, "Yea, I remember her", or I finally found her in my yearbook. Personally, I believe nina is older, and even though this is not the place to debate it. Shayla looks closer to 40 to me.
Just my two cents though. Either way, Nina still puts in incredible work, so it's not like I'm a hater, I love her work.
I agree. They'll say whatever the producers want to hear in order to get a job right? just like Tracy Lords.
I have no idea of Nina's age but do know she's been around for quite some time. If she's 45 she theoretically could have been in the business 27 years. That's a lot of smoked pole.
Nothing says I love you so much as a tongue in the ass. 2884 Posts 1/03

I've seen pictures of Nina before she got in the business and the transformation was amazing. I'm not surprised that she would be unrecognizable to someone who saw her back in school. Her first appearances were in 1984, so I don't think the age is out of line.
to the topic of your point, I don't think anyonewould debate women over 30 don't exist in the business, but look at the percent vs 19 year olds and look at how much work they get vs the 19yo. the face of the business has changed to where the Kitty Young look is more desirable to the bigger amount of producers than the vicky vette look.
Much to my regret the more experienced women get less work than the young girls.
I definitely favor the Vicki Vette look over the Kitty Young look. Vicki Vette is absolutely stunning. Because of this I would appreciate to see more women over 30 in porn movies.
I'm 49 and have been a porn fan ever since the late 70's. It seems to me that Nina Hartley has been around since the late 70's and I've actually seen articles in the past were she admitted to being about my age or slightly older. Nevertheless, she looks fantastic for her age.
I can't swear to it, but I believe RayVeness is 29 (seem to remember her saying so in one of Mike John's movies?).
Doesn't quite qualify as past 30, but close enough for porn IMO! And she's drop-dead gorgeous, has an incredible rack and seems to love sex and performing. Personally, I hope she continues making movies for several years to come
Lacy Thom (sp?) in Young Ripe Mellons #6 claims to be 29, and that was only her third scene! So, if we're lucky, she'll continue on past her 30th birthday.

It's been two years since Fujiko was active, and you almost never see Sydnee anymore, and it's been about 3-4 years since Nici was active.
30 Appears to be the magic number. If you look at a great many stars, that's about the age they disspear, IE Jeanna Fine.
I've worked with and seen ID's for both Shayla and Tiffany and the ages as given are correct.
In my somewhat biased opinion, all look terrific and any one of them gives a performance that blows away the noisy, watched-too-many-videos-but -am-personally-clueless-about-sex thrashing around of most newer players.
Sex, particularly onscreen sex, is a skill-set it takes time to acquire. I shoot a lot of pretty young things and I love them, but most don't know how to work it on camera yet.
Chatsworth, Calif. - A noticeable, emerging trend in the industry recently has been the re-emergence of more seasoned female performers. These reliable, bankable women are giving the 19-year-olds a run for the rental dollars. The 2003 Best Continuing Video Series, Adam & Eve's Naked Hollywood, starring seasoned performers Asia Carrera and Nina Hartley, is a consistent best seller for the company and last year's Video Team release of No Man's Land: Legends starring performers Amber Lynn, Jeanna Fine and many other experienced, mature performers was received well by fans. The comebacks of performers like Rebecca Bardoux, Carolyn Monroe, Papillion and Montana Gunn also strongly point to the fact that the porn world is accepting that 30 can be sexy and it's not a specialty act. -------------------------
As far as I and the industry is concerned the older women tend to be more reliable, more knowledgeable and more in tune with their bodies and know how to please a man more than the 80lbs waifs with no boobs or curves coming into the business today. They know what they like and more importantly, they know what others like. Without a doubt, if I picked up a movie that had Aurora Snow, Taylor Rain and Jenna Haze in it and then picked up another flick that had Tori Welles, Teri Weigel and Francesca Le' in it, guess which one CJ's taking home?
Point your friend in the direction of any title that includes "mature," "MILF," "Granny," and your point will be well made.
I love watching older women in porn. In fact, Kay Parker, Colleen Brennan, and Honey Wilder were all some of my earliest porn influences. I love the fact that performers like Nina Hartley and Shannah Mcullough are comfortable, and proud enough of their bodies to show it off on screen. I think it goes a long way to dispell the myth that in order for someone to be sexy they have to be 19 with boobs that stand straight up, and well toned bodies.
Having said all of that, let me also point out that I love Jenna Haze In fact, I guess I am an equal opportunity porn star lover that does'nt discrimnate based on age.
she just turned 37 today, and I was able to see her list of films on iafd.com. been looking for her films for awhile after seeing her in that HOT scene in "the Fashionistas." women like her need to retire when they're tired, not after 30.
Not the 80s. Shayla first appeared in Rex Borsky's Rosebud features around '93 (possibly late '92 at the earliest). She was a sensation and it was part of the change in porn then as the number of really beautiful women increased. I think she's still a beauty, pretty much looking like the mid-30s babe that she is.
