Vanessa del Rio (Multilingual Edition)

About this book

Back in 1974 the sexual revolution was in full swing and the adult entertainment business was on the verge of becoming Big Business. Deep Throat had created Americas first porn star in 1972 but just two years later 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have been that thing except in 1974 there were no ethnic sex stars. Undeterred Vanessa took any role theyd give her because amazingly she was there for the sex more than the money. Fans awed by her on-screen passion made her a top box-office draw and Americas first Latina star. Retired since 1986 Vanessa del Rio remains a sexual icon who cuts across all ethnic boundaries. In this fresh and irresistibly affordable edition TASCHEN presents Vanessa in all her candor confidence and exuberant sexuality through vintage photo shoots film stills her own enormous archive and her own words. And because paper and ink cant do justice to a personality this big an original 140-minute DVD documentary is also included.
