She did an interview/layout (softcore) in Andy Warhol's Interivew back in the 80s which all but kick-started my interest in adult films. In a fit of nostalgia I just did a price search here on ADT and was astounded at how many of her movies have made the leap to DVD. Can anyone suggest the best of what's currently available?
I personally think she was at her best in her somewhat plump, brunette days. The best DVD of her in this period is Henri Pachard's SHE'S SO FINE, but if you can find VHS copies, FLESH AND FANTASY, STAR ANGEL, AMERICAN BABYLON, TICKLED PINK, HOSTAGE GIRLS, and DANGEROUS STUFF are prime Taija Rae films.
Other DVD's worth tracking down: BORDELLO INSIDE LITTLE ORAL ANNIE LITTLE ORAL ANNIE TAKES MANHATTAN RAW TALENT TABOO AMERICAN STYLE 1 VOYEUR
will definitely attest to taboo american style 1 & 2 , also if they release fleash and fantasy on dvd it's a must . she was absolutely adorable, soft and creamy looking kind of girl you rarely see these days, most of my favorites girls are from this ere. cristy , siobhan hunter , jennifer noxt , shanna mcculough . tess ferre ect . hope to see more of the early-mid eighties vhs released on dvd , i think there is a very strong market for them.
Baby Face # 2 Back Door Lust Bordello House Of The Rising Sun Christine's Secret Urban Heat Candy Stripers # 2 Doin' the Harlem Shuffle Dr. Penetration Eaten Alive Girls Who Love Girls # 2 Girls Who Love Girls # 8 Good Girl Bad Girl Good Morning Taija Rae Little Oral Annie Takes Manhattan Looking For Mr. Goodsex Make Me Feel It Mouth Watering Raw Talent Sex Drive Shades Of Passion She's So Fine Taboo American Style Taboo American Style # 2 Talk Dirty To Me # 4 This Is Your Sex Life Triple Header Voyeur Wish You were Here
There are more titles but they are comps. Hope this helps.
just to add to Joplin's & Grover's mentions of Eaten Alive, Inside Little Oral Annie, Little Oral Annie Takes Manhattan, Sex Drive, Wish You Were Here all from my fave Golden Age company Video-X-Pix . I'd add Celebration which some have listed as coming from Gourmet Video but my copy was distributed by Vidway, a cousin company to Video-X-Pix.

Here's my personal favorites list, compiled from what I now know is available. I realize that Taija may only have a scene or a small supporting role in a couple that I mention:
Baby Face # 2 Christine's Secret Urban Heat Candy Stripers # 2 Dr. Penetration Raw Talent Shades Of Passion She's So Fine Taboo American Style Taboo American Style # 2
Some faves that weren't on the list:
Inner Blues and Mardi Gras Passions, both shot on film! Does anyone know their current status?
Nina Hartley was in the first porn I ever saw but Taija Rae was my first porn girl crush. Maybe that's why I've always been a fan of girls with some curve...ie Avy Scott, Sunny Lane. Taija was just so damned cute.
Kimi Lixx,Julie Night,Tina Tyler and then everyone else.
on this subject , can anyone identify a scene with taija , she is in a sauna wearing just a towel with her hair in pigtails , and gets it on with a repairmail , they shower and the have sex?

Daniel,
I believe that the titles are out of print.

Thanks Grover. A classics company like Alpha Blue would do well to jump on these two titles. Not only were they big budget Taija titles, but "Inner Blues" has a bit of a rock and roll legacy to it - it was shot in and around the infamous Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip, at height of the whole 80s scene.
Taija boasts her late period, thinner and blonder look in both movies.
"on this subject , can anyone identify a scene with taija , she is in a sauna wearing just a towel with her hair in pigtails , and gets it on with a repairmail , they shower and the have sex?"
The movie is "Wet Dreams" & the scene in the shower is with George Payne. It is the only scene featuring Taija in this movie, which is a pretty good early 80s movie, with some good scenes with Cody Nicole and Renee Summers.
Taija's hair is still dark, much like her scenes in the Taboo American Style movies and she is still sporting a good bit of baby fat, but it is a very hot scene.
You may want to check out 'Mouth Watering', a movie that is mostly Taija's and also features a young and svelt Tracey Adams.
Inner Blues was released on DVD by Caballero earlier this year.
I first discovered Taija Rae a little over a year ago during my "classic porn" phase. Luckily, BlueDoor.com still carried VHS at that point. She's gone on to be one of my favorite 80s girls. Like Vouyer32, it's no surprise then that I'm such a big Sunny Lane fan. I prefer Taija's New York work, but I enjoy the early California stuff. The look she had at the end, though, is a bit of a turn-off for me.
These are my favorites:
Candy Stripers #2 Erotic Zones #1 Looking for Mr. Goodsex Mouth Watering Spoiled Vouyer (Taija's barely in it though)
I haven't seen any of them yet, and can't vouch for the quality of the prints, but I thought you might be interested to know that Alpha Blue Archives just released Taija Rae Triple Feature containing Hostage Girls, Climax and Jailhouse Girls.
If you have a multiregion PAL capable player I believe Alpha France (Blue One) has released an edited version of it on a disc with Deep Throat and The Satisfiers of Alpha Blue. That's the only release that I'm aware of.
I believe that's another one languishing in the VCA vaults. :( FLESH AND FANTASY is probably Damiano's last good film, but it's usually overshadowed by the better NIGHT HUNGER of the same year.

I concur completely, although I'm sympathetic to the reason (she'd moved from New York to L.A. and was blending more with the local scene). There's no denying the magnificence of "She's So Fine" and "Sexually Altered States," though!
