Well my all time fav was Amber Lynn. First porn star I ever met and got a pic with back in 1992. Also Porsche Lynn, Ginger Lynn, Kari Foxx, and the ever so hot Brazlian Elle Rio.
Favorite FORGOTTEN female star? Bree Anthony! This girl was everywhere in the New York scene, and appeared in several very rough films (WINTER HEAT, THE TAKING OF CHRISTINA). She was also the figurehead editor of High Society magazine before Gloria Leonard took over and made it into an institution. Bree was one of the cutest, definitely. Close runner-up: Merle Michaels! This girl was very petite, but really got into her scenes with a wild passion, even in tripe like GOOD GIRLS OF GODIVA HIGH..
I also don't think Terri Hall, C.J. Laing, Darby Lloyd Rains, Hillary Summers, Dorothy LeMay, Janey Robbins, or Lysa Thatcher are given nearly enough credit for their work. Joanna Storm has a nice following, but she was a much more impressive performer to me than Traci Lords around the same time. If Traci had turned out to be of age, we'd be talking about Joanna more today than her. While Andrea True was one of the first major New York adult film stars, she's remembered today for her disco song. Most people can't name 5 of her films. Jesie St. James should be better-known, too; never gave a bad performance, in terms of both acting and sex.
Forgot two more: Jacqueline Lorians and Bethanna! Lorians was a-m-a-z-i-n-g in DEVIL IN MISS JONES PART 2, and Bethanna (who looks to be part Native American and Hispanic) is famous for SWEET SAVAGE. She's good in FROM HOLLY WITH LOVE, too.

I worked at the Kiva Art Theatre in Scottsdale, AZ, at the end of the shot-on-film era in the mid-80s while in College (I actually helped the techs change our system from film to video projection over Easter Weekend, 1987). A few ladies I remember admiring from that time -
Lois Ayres Laurie Smith Kristara Barrington Rachel Ashley Stacy Donovan Ginger Lynn Amber Lynn Jennifer Noxt Candie Evens Nikki Charm Hyapatia Lee Barbara Dare Shanna McCullough Siobhan Hunter Keisha Angel Nina Hartley
Directors I liked from the era - Gregory Dark, Alex De Renzy, Robert McCallum.

About time Lana Burner got a mention. I always liked that blond cutie, even if she was too skinny and the boob job too obvious.
Sorry I missed this one at the time. Hope you're still reading.
Bree Anthony was also one of my great fascinations, although I got into porn around 1985.
I've researched her past films a bit and am usually quite happy with her output. And her High Society pictures are to die for.
Some sad news though. This summer I found myself in the weird position of picking up Gloria Leonard at the train station for a friend. Naturally I sprung the trivia question "Who was the putative publisher of High Society before you took over?" She knew it was Bree instantly (known as Sue Richards to the magazine's readers). Unfortunately, however, she'd been through collision and was seriously injured in the accident. My friend's house was only three minutes away, so that was the extent of the conversation.
On the other hand, you'll be glad to know (though I wasn't, since I wanted to nail her), Merle Michaels is happily married and living in Vermont. She, too, is one of my inner circle Hall-of-Famers.
Wish I could help you out with Jacqueline Lorians, but other than hearing a rumour that she'd died of cancer I've never heard anything else.
Great list of names, I would also add the following:
Dallas Corknee Kimbely Kyle Marilyn Martin Mona Lisa Kimberly Kummings Champagne Sade Naomi Persia Purple Passion Little Cinderella Brit Morgan Bambi Woods Robin Byrd Sue Nero Lee Carol Tracey Adams Sahara Viper Laurie Cameron Heather Hunter Mauvais Denoir Nikki Sinn Tammi Ann Tiffany Storm Jasper Isis Niles Tiana
I just ordered a few titles that had Shaun Michelle in them. She was my first porn memory because she won a contest in High Society or Hustler that got her into porn. Plain, but sexy.....she is gone but not forgotten.
Also....Cindy Shepard, Renee Summers, Nikki Nights...my personal favorite..that I met in person, Tori Wells and Victoria Paris.
I met Vanessa Del Rio and she was cordial, but Veronica Hart was a sweetheart. I believe that she is still around the industry, and saw her in Six Feet Under, and have always wanted to tell folks that she is such a genuinely nice person. Other classsic stars I recall from my youth include Lisa deLeeuw, Nina Hartley, Keisha Dominguez, Desiree Cousteau, Colleen Brennan, Jeannie Pepper, Ebony Ayes, Kelli Richards, Elle Rio, Sharon Kane, Kelly Nichols, Connie Peters, Aja. Kendal Marx, Jeannette Littledove and Dana Dylan.
My favourites from the past (whether forgotten or not) are Vanessa Del Rio (still watch her movies now) Serena, Porsche Lynn, Seka, Debi Diamond, Desiree Cousteau and more recently (90s) Tabitha Cash, Barbara Doll and a totally awesome French lady called Maeva who made a few films with Barbara Doll, in particular one called Perversity In Paris which I wish someone would re-issue on DVD!!!
Seka - The all-time Goddess of adult films. End of discussion! Angel - simply put, the most beautiful face in porn Annette Haven - The most elegant - the best actress and the porn star I'd like to travel back in time to fuck (though I'd bring a razor and some shaving cream with me) Kay Parker - I'm not into MILFs, but with her, I could be! Juliette "Aunt Peg" Anderson - started in porn at 39! Samantha Fox - no, not that one Lisa De Leeuw - if you like ten billion freckles Loni Sanders - penthouse chick - stunning Lee Caroll Dorothy Le May Taija Rae - A Sex machine for all time Erica Boyer - One of the true first anal queens Bambi Woods - I still get wood when the Dallas Cheerleaders are on TV Gloria Leonard

Boy, in reading all of the responses this really brings back pleasant memories of time spent in darkened theaters watching the classic ladies and gents of early adult film. - Karen Summers (just loved the treasure trail of hair from her pubes to her navel! Sometimes bleached, sometimes not) - Laurie Smith
