Any of the always lovely taija rae?

Rae, a native of Philadelphia, entered the adult film industry in 1983. The first part of her stage name, pronounced Tayzh-a, came from a cocktail waitress she worked with before porn. The last name, Rae, was a tribute to Fay Wray, actress in the movie King Kong. After a test photo shoot in New York City, she quickly made the rounds of the New York adult industry. Her first films were Dangerous Stuff and Scenes They Wouldn’t Let Me Shoot, filmed the same weekend.

She became known for her rounded, softer figure, wide hips, and large, natural breasts with big, dark red nipples. In 1986, she changed her appearance by losing weight and dying her hair blonde, and began doing more work through a West Coast agent. With this, she reached the height of her success, when Hustler magazine referred to her as one of “porn’s Big Four” (along with Traci Lords, Ginger Lynn, and Amber Lynn). She was proud of being able to charge $1,000 per day for her roles.

She maintained her home in Pennsylvania, sometimes flying out to the West Coast to film scenes, until finally moving to Los Angeles, California in 1988. Rae left the adult film business in 1993. Fans report seeing her working as a hostess at a restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada.

anonymous asked:
Gia Carangi?..

Gia Marie Carangi (January 29, 1960 – November 18, 1986) was considered by some to be the first supermodel. She squandered the majority of her modeling earnings on drugs. After treatment, she got a job in a clothing store, which she eventually quit. She later found employment as a checkout clerk and then worked in the cafeteria of a nursing home. By late 1985, she had begun using drugs again. Carangi died of AIDS-related complications on November 18, 1986, at the age of 26, becoming one of the first famous women to die of the disease.
