Biography

Biography

Her scene list is compact and reads like the period: work with a man covering blowjobs, vaginal and anal, scenes between women kept softcore, and solo masturbation. The anal is the part that gets written about. She is recorded as one of the first performers of Asian descent to do it on film, at a moment when the category was narrow and a performer who took it was making a commercial decision as much as a physical one. Footage from that era moves slower than what came later, with longer setups and fewer cuts, and a performance had to hold a shot without editing to rescue it.

The lead portrait keeps the styling of that run. She stands beside a bronze figure of a seated deity, bare-breasted in an open blue-grey lace corset with garter straps and black stockings, one hand across the midriff. Her hair is dark and curly, cut close with heavy bangs, the eyeliner is strong, the lipstick and nails are red. The wall behind is a flat mustard gold, the light warm and soft. She left the business at the end of the 1980s and later trained as a veterinarian, which is the least expected line in the record.
