Biography

Cara Lott grew up in a middle-class Catholic family in Huntington Beach, California. Cara's career in the adult entertainment industry began at age eighteen after she asked a friend to snap a Polaroid photo of her wearing lingerie atop the family piano. Lott sent said photo to Hustler magazine and within several months went on to be the centerfold and cover girl for the December, 1981 issue. Cara subsequently signed up with the top talent and nude modeling agency World Modeling Agency in Sherman Oaks, California and posed for photo shoots for such men's magazines as Club, Cheri, Velvet, Genesis, and High Society. Lott soon thereafter began performing in explicit hardcore movies and, in the wake of establishing herself in the adult industry, took to the road as a feature dancer at gentlemen's clubs in America, Canada, and Japan. In 1991 Cara took a hiatus from porn so she could return to college and acquire a degree in Health Sciences. Cara then returned to performing in hardcore movies in 1997. Following another hiatus, Lott made a second comeback in January, 2005 as both an over forty model in men's magazines and a MILF/cougar performer in X-rated fare. Cara was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2006. Her hobbies included fishing, surfing, camping, hiking, skiing, scuba diving, kayaking, and open-water swimming. Lott died at age 56 after a long battle with a debilitating illness on March 19, 2018.

Short hair.

Slender figure.

According to the 1992 book American Mythologies by Marshall Blonsky, Cara was Melanie Griffith's body double in Body Double (1984).

Back in my time, it wasn't as competitive as it is now. I always liked the people I worked with. They were nice, fun, open people. I made sure I wasn't taken advantage of. I had my own rules. What makes me sad is people who shouldn't be in the business in the first place because they don't have the emotional stability for this work. They're into drugs or desperate for money. This sets up naive young women for exploitation and gives the adult industry a bad rap. I never saw anyone coerced. I was never into drugs or drinking. I wasn't sexually abused as a child. I wasn't desperate for money or lacking in education.

I had a different mindset than most of the girls in the industry. I had maturity and a sense of responsibility. I was running a business and managing my career at the time. I took it seriously. The other girls were more partiers. I was never much of a party girl. I've always liked being by myself. I didn't even live in the area. I lived in Orange County.

I was always a free thinker.
