Veronica Hart

Veronica Hart is one of the most interesting figures of adult film's Golden Age because she was always treated, and treated herself, as a real actress rather than just a performer. Critics genuinely praised her work, which was rare for the genre and era. What I find most compelling is her second act: she reinvented herself as a director and producer, and Paul Thomas Anderson casting her in Boogie Nights felt like a knowing nod to that history. She's smart, candid in interviews, and clearly someone who understood the industry far better than most.

Veronica Hart (born October 27, 1956) is an American former adult film actress who became one of the most acclaimed performers of the so-called Golden Age of Porn in the late 1970s and early 1980s. After retiring from performing, she moved behind the camera as a director and producer, and also took mainstream supporting roles, notably in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights. She is an inductee of the AVN Hall of Fame.
