Annette Haven
Biography 
Birthdate: Wednesday 1st of December 1954Age: 57 years young
(born Annette Martin December, 1954) is a former American pornographic actress popular during the 1970s and 1980s.
Annette Haven was born in December 1954, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA and raised in a sexually-conservative Mormon family. Haven later claimed that part of her reason for entering porn was that she wanted to show that "sex is not sinful" and could be pleasurable.
When she was 17 years old, she got married to her then-boyfriend. They were divorced two years later. Following the dissolution of her marriage, Haven moved to San Francisco, where she began dancing in erotic shows, and eventually worked as a stripper. While working in one of the strip clubs, she met porn star Bonnie Holiday and moved in with her and her boyfriend.
She was introduced to the sex industry through a role in a film called Lady Freaks, in 1973, starring Holiday. Annette Haven went on to work in more than 180 porn movies Haven had a mainstream acting role in Blake Edwards's 10. She was considered to play the lead female role in Body Double, which eventually went to Melanie Griffith, and became one of the director's consultants for the film. Prior to filming Body Double, its director Brian De Palma commented, "I'm already thinking of casting. I don't know if there's any good young porno stars out here, but the older ones - Annette Haven, Seka - some of them can really act. And Annette Haven has a terrific body."
Annette Haven is a member of the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.
Annette Haven is considered a legend in the porn business and ironically, something of a feminist. She worked when adult films were still shot on film and not videotape. Before entering adult films she had worked in a variety of fields: nurse's aide, exotic dancer, massage parlor employee in the San Francisco area. She worked on her first adult film in the mid-1970s. Her regal (and somewhat aloof) bearing got her often cast as an angelic-looking virgin or femme fatale. Not only was she considered one of the best looking women in the industry, she could act, too, as evidenced by her adult film best actress award from A Coming of Angels (1977). Her feminist streak seems strange considering the business she was in, but she refused to do scenes that included violence or "money shots." She even turned down a part in the "legit" movie The Howling (1981) because of its excessive violence. She did, however, do a part in Body Double (1984), proving she could go mainstream. She starred in many adult classics like Barbara Broadcast (1977), 'V': The Hot One (1978) and A Thousand and One Erotic Nights (1982). She retired from adult films, her legendary reputation intact, in the late 1980s and lives in Mill Valley, CA with her husband.
