Desiree West(I)
- Actress
Desiree West broke into the adult film business in 1973 and soon became
the industry's first black star. In addition to her volcanic sexual
performances, she was noted for her ability to actually handle dialogue
quite well, a fairly rare achievement for an adult film actress in
those days. Her exotic looks - she appeared to be a combination of
black and Asian - and spectacular body guaranteed her steady employment
in the business, although she never reached the level of stardom that,
frankly, she should have. She "officially" retired in 1980, although
she would come back to make a video or two every so often just to see
if she still "had it."
She did.
She did.
