Thank you! Here is classic pornstar Veronica Hart.

As a teenager Veronica attended Western High School, where at age 15, she lost her virginity to her sixteen-year old boyfriend. “I had heard about sex so much, and I knew all about it from an early age. I have a lot of older sisters, and I used to read their little books on what your body is and how it works. At that time, I hadn’t done much petting. I’d kissed but little fondling. I decided it was time. I knew it was going to happen but he didn’t know. I got dressed up for it, put on my hippy-dippy get-up. I suggested that we stop by a friend’s place, and I dragged him into another room and that was it. I was proud of myself. I was so in love and romantic. I felt wonderful. I talked to him on the phone the next day, and said how he was my boyfriend and asked him if he’d ever done it before. He said, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘What? How many times?’ He said ‘Twelve.’ I was heartbroken. He’d been with twelve other girls before me.”

Hart emphasises the difference between the porn industry of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, and the one that exists today. “Porn was much more like movies. It’s like the stuff I do today, if I get five minutes of build-up its like fifteen minutes of sex. What we were doing back then was, fifteen minutes of build-up an five minutes of sex… They had plots and stories… It was more explicit sex [than today], but they were more like movies with sex in them, rather then sex films. I like them… What we’ve learned to do is, we’ve learned to shoot sex a lot better. …Let’s face it - we were a hairy bunch back then and they were more of the natural woman.”

"I became famous as a porn star not because I was so gorgeous or I had the best body, but probably because people felt comfortable with me. I was kinda like the girl next door with that you could feel like you could talk to and maybe could get lucky with. Now our girls are much more beautiful, much more model-perfect.”

Apart from her work as a director, Veronica has also appeared in a number of mainstream stage shows and films, as well as over 30 R-rated movies. One of her most visible roles was that of the judge in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 homage to 1970’s porn, ‘Boogie Nights’. “I was prepared to have a really brutal picture painted of all of us, but he put the humanity into who we were and what we were trying to do. As cute and pathetic as we were, we really meant it. In the larger scheme of things, [our pretensions] were pretty funny. When I first read the script, I thought, `This is terrible. All they’re doing is drugs.’ Then when I thought about it, all we did was drugs.”
