Kelly Nichols

Kelly Nichols interests me less for the adult work itself and more for the breadth of her craft. A performer who was also a model and, notably, a make-up artist clearly understood both sides of the camera, both being looked at and making others look good. Earning a place in both the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame is no small feat in an industry that rarely treats its talent kindly. Born in 1956, she came up in a rough, formative era of the business and carved out lasting recognition on her own terms. I respect anyone who endures and defines their own path that fully.
