Christy Canyon
Biography 
Birthdate: Friday 17th of June 1966Age: 45 years young
(born on June 17, 1966 in Pasadena, California, U.S.) is a retired American pornographic actress and current radio personality.
Canyon appeared in nearly 200 adult films. Canyon has won several "best female performance" awards and is a member of the XRCO and AVN Halls of Fame. She retired from (and returned to) the adult business several times. In 1999, AVN rated her as one of the top twenty-five adult stars of all time. She is known for her natural 36DD breasts.
In her autobiography, Canyon stated that adult performer Greg Rome approached her while she was waiting for a ride in Hollywood and told her that she would be a terrific figure model. He gave her the business card of porn recruiter and agent Jim South of World Modeling Talent Agency. After visiting South's office she posed for men's magazines, and she began her video career shortly thereafter. She has stated that her first on-screen performance was with Ron Jeremy in 1984's "Swedish Erotica 57," and that Jeremy soon became a close friend within the business. Her pictures appeared in Celebrity Sleuth magazine, as well as Penthouse, Hustler, and dozens of other men's magazines.
In a 2005 interview on Taylor Wane's radio show, Canyon stated that although on-camera she had protected sex (with condoms) with all of her male co-stars during her time with Vivid Entertainment in the mid 1990s, this was definitely not something she practiced in her private life. Canyon stated that she engaged in unprotected sex with every one of her male co-stars off camera, prior to their filmed sex scenes. In her personal life, Canyon has dated directors John Frankenheimer, and Adam Rifkin. As of 2010, she works on Sirius XM Satellite Radio's Playboy Radio as cohost, with Nicki Hunter, of the show Night Calls.
Christy Canyon is a Hall of Fame porn actress. Not possessed of great natural acting ability - as is evident by viewing her early work - she nonetheless grew more comfortable delivering dialogue in front of the camera as her career progressed. She came on the scene at about the same time as Traci Lords, and the two of them almost immediately challenged reigning porn queen Ginger Lynn Allen for the top position in the business. By 1987 Traci was gone - having left the industry after it was discovered she was underage when she made most of her films - and Christy was establishing herself as the #1 fan draw. She has retired, and unretired, many times in the past 15 years or so, but her fans remain devoted. She and Traci appeared in several movies together, and after Traci's departure from the business, some of them were re-released with Traci's scenes edited out. One movie that could not be re-released, however, was Battle of the Stars (1985) (V), which pitted Christy vs. Traci in head-to-head competition for the best actress title in X-rated films. Traci's scenes could not be edited out without destroying the entire movie, so it was never released at all.
