There were two brunette female porn stars of the 1970s and 1980s who
are still talked about. One was
Annette Haven, the other was Bridgette
Monet. Bridgette was taller than Haven (or most of her industry peers,
for that matter, being just shy of six feet tall) and was a ball of
fire in the adult film industry. She got her start doing nude modeling
before starring in the short vignettes of the "Swedish Erotica" series.
She got her big break in
I Like to Watch (1982), and
thereafter received star billing for most of the rest of her career.
She was blessed with breathtaking beauty and a spectacular body.
However, she was very selective about her co-stars and, after she
became established, worked only with her real-life boyfriend
David Cannon. In her earlier
works, she performed with actors such as
John Leslie,
Mike Horner and
Mike Ranger). Some of her most successful
films include
Talk Dirty to Me: Part 2 (1982),
Stiff Competition (1984) and
Girl from S.E.X. (1982). She
left the industry in the mid-'80s to pursue a career as a medical
doctor.
