Annette Haven was one of the first porn superstars, but before her success in porn, she worked as a nurse's aide, exotic dancer, and massage parlor girl.
Her hardcore debut was in Alex De Renzy's 1973 feature
Lady Freaks, and she continued to star in porn films throughout the 1970's and 80's, most often being cast as an innocent virgin or a femme fatale.
In 1977, Haven received Best actress award for
A Coming of Angels from the Adult Film Association of America.
Annette was known as a true professional in the porn industry and was well known for her high energy performances. However, she was selective about films she acted in, refusing to do scenes that included bondage, violence, or facials.
Annette Haven's most notable work includes
Desires Within Young Girls,
Sex World, and
A Thousand and One Erotic Nights. She also had a mainstream acting role in Blake Edwards'
10 as one of the porn actresses living up the hill, but turned down a part in
The Howling because of its excessive violence.
Haven retired from erotic films in the late 1980s, although she reappeared in the mid-1990s to star in a couple of fetish videos with her frequent '70s costar,
Jamie Gillis, and dominatrix
Kim Wylde.
Annette Haven performed with the most well endowed of all male actors,
John Holmes, and here are
some clips from Tell Them Johnny Wadd Is Here , starring Haven and Homes, so that you can see just how good she was.
