Janine Lindemulder

Janine Marie Lindemulder (born on November 14, 1968 in La Mirada, California, USA) is an American exotic dancer and pornographic film actress, best known for her work in U.S. pornographic films (typically credited as just Janine), during the mid-1990's and a 2004-2005 comeback. After graduating high school in 1986, Lindemulder was supplementing her income by working as a stripper. In 1987, she began modeling for Penthouse magazine, making her first appearance in the December 1987 issue as the Pet of the Month December 1987. She has since appeared several more times in Penthouse over the next ten years, and was chosen Pet of the Year Runner-Up for 1990. Lindemulder was married in 1988 and had a son Tyler in 1991. She attempted to build a career as an actress in mainstream films. Her first role was in the 1988 Italian film Bersaglio sull'autostrada (aka Moving Target) in which she appeared under the name Janine Linde and co-starred with Ernest Borgnine and Linda Blair. She also appeared in the films Spring Break USA, The Price of Desire, and Caged Fury. Lindemulder made her debut in adult films in the 1992 movie Andrew Blake´s Hidden Obsessions. She quickly became a leading actress in adult films. She was known for the unusual reservation of only having sex with women on film, an agreement she had with her husband. From 1993 - 1999 she was a "contract girl" (i.e., under an exclusive contract) for U.S. porn film leader Vivid Video. Lindemulder and her then-lover Julia Ann comprised the exotic dancing act Blondage. The pair performed on strip club tours, and also worked together in films. Lindemulder appeared in the movie Private Parts and in music videos. Lindemulder, along with fellow adult film actress Nikki Tyler, accompanied Howard Stern on one of his appearances on The Tonight Show, where she shocked the audience by embracing and kissing Tyler. Lindemulder divorced her first husband in 1996 and initially retired from adult films in 1999. Lindemulder dated rock musician Vince Neil. A tape of the two of them having sex, along with another unidentified woman (purportedly model and actress Brandy Ledford, though the person's identity has never been 100% confirmed), was stolen and released for sale by the same company that released Pamela Anderson's celebrated homemade sex video. Around this same time, Lindemulder experimented with appearing with male performers in magazine layouts, though she retained her females-only policy in films and video. She appeared as the nurse in Blink-182's "What's My Age Again" music video. She is also on the CD cover of their 1999 album, Enema of the State. Lindemulder married again in 2002, to West Coast Choppers founder Jesse G. James. James left Lindemulder in 2003 while she was seven months pregnant, and the couple later divorced (allegedly, she threw a vase at James). She had a daughter, Sunny James, on January 1, 2004. Sometime during her sabbatical, Lindemulder had her arms extensively tattooed and her breasts enlarged again. In April 2004, Lindemulder returned to adult film making as an actress and producer, breaking her own "no boy/girl on-screen" taboo with Nick Manning in Vivid's Maneater. Her films during this comeback period frequently featured her in scenes with one or more male partners. After completing her 8 movie agreement with Vivid, she went on to sign with Digital Playground in March 2005. She has also had body modification done between 2004-05, including body piercings of her nipples and genitalia. In November 2005, Janine Lindemulder announced on her official website's forum that she was once again retiring from making adult films. In January 2006, she won 2 awards at the the AVN show and decided to unretired again. With appearances in music videos and on album covers; the tall and gorgeous Janine has managed to make hearts flutter both in and outside the adult world.

Christy Canyon

Christy Canyon was born Melissa Bardizbanian on June 17, 1966 in Pasadena, California, USA. Born to an Armenian American father and an Italian American mother, Canyon is the younger sister of author Carla Sinclair. She holds an associate's degree in merchandise marketing. She has been married and divorced twice: to Tom Sinopoli and Jeremy Stone. She has been married since 2003 to a man named Grant. From 1984 to 1997, Canyon appeared in nearly 200 adult films. Canyon has won several "best female performance" awards and is a member of the XRCO Hall of Fame. Best known for her large natural breasts and natural beauty, Christy engaged in primarily standard adult fare consisting or vaginal intercourse, oral sex, lesbian encounters, and small party group sex. Toward the end of her last tour of adult movies, it appeared that she engaged in one anal sex scene (doggy style) for several minutes. Due to her unshaved pubic area and general use of bad camera angles, this may be in doubt. Canyon retired and returned to films several times during her career, mainly due to changes in her marital status. She is retired from performing in films but still has an adult-related career, concentrating on her web site, working as a host for Playboy radio, and selling merchandise on eBay. In 2003, she published her autobiography, "Lights, Camera, Sex" (ISBN 0972747001).

Chloe Jones

Chloe Jones (born Melinda Dee Jones in Houston, Texas) (June 17, 1975 – June 4, 2005) was the Penthouse Pet of the Month in April 1998 and crossed over into adult films in 2001, then retired from the adult industry in 2004. She performed in fewer than thirty films during that time. Jones had gained considerable fame as a nude model and was a well-known figure in the adult world at the time of her retirement. Jones suffered multiple fractures to her arm in January 2000; during surgery, doctors discovered that she had leukemia. She also reportedly suffered from epilepsy, although details are vague due to Jones' efforts to protect her privacy. After deciding to enter the hard-core porn industry, she signed an exclusive contract with adult film-making company New Sensations, followed by another contract with Vivid Entertainment. Neither association lasted very long, and rumors circulated about Jones' "difficult nature." She was allegedly released by Vivid for her use of prescription drugs; again, specific details are elusive. She worked briefly as an escort, during which time she claimed to have numbered Charlie Sheen and Woody Harrelson among her clients. (Jones' claims were met widely with disbelief, in part because she sold her "story" of Sheen to a tabloid.) An unsubstantiated report states that she was beaten badly by one of her customers, resulting in a trip to the ICU and the decision to leave escorting and return to films. Before she was able to make her comeback, her health began to fail; she passed away less than two weeks before her 30th birthday. Little information about her death was publicly released, except that the official cause was attributed to liver failure. She was buried at Woodlawn Garden of Memories in Houston, Texas She is survived by three children, an 8-year-old girl and 7-year-old twin boys.
