Ginger Lynn

Ginger Lynn was the defining adult star of the 1980s, sweeping XRCO and AVN honors and earning a Hall of Fame place, later ranked seventh among the greatest of all time. What earns my respect, though, is the second act: leaving that world behind, reclaiming her full name, and grinding through B-movies to build a new identity as an actress. That takes nerve. Reaching the summit of one industry and then choosing to start over elsewhere is a kind of restless courage I admire. From a modest Rockford, Illinois beginning, she lived life entirely on her own terms.
