Busty 1980s and 1990s pornstar legend Victoria Paris, known to friends as Vicky Paris, was of an age in today's chew them up and spit them out pornstar treadmill that would have had her dubbed a MILF from the moment she first burst on to the adult movie scene. Born in Great Falls, Montana, on 22 November 1965, she had completed a college degree in nutrition with a minor in P.E. at Montana State University before moving to Los Angeles in 1987. Victoria still has plans someday to set up a dietary company. She got work to pay the bills as a secretary, but Vicky was not exactly the type to live out life quietly in the shadows. Seeking excitement and a challenge, in 1988 she got a job mud wrestling at the L.A. club Hollywood Tropicana.

Vicky still remembers her time there with affection. "Even mud can be glamorous! I felt like I was in a sorority - all the girls were great," she says. A few months later she decided to model for her first nude photoshoot. Picture editors from Hustler to a European Penthouse were soon busting a blood vessel to get her curvy 38DD-22-36 body and all-american girl looks between their covers too. Then the following year, Victoria Paris decided to shoot her first ever hardcore adult movie. There were no shortage of directors queuing up to work with her after that. She won AVN's Best New Starlet award in 1990 and was rapidly on the way to becoming one of the nineties icons of porn.

Porn doyen Jim Holliday was already dubbing her the adult industry's top star with the punters by 1992. She took a break from appearing in X-rated movies in the mid-1990s to go dancing on the road in a duo act called Top Katz with porn legend friend Ashlyn Gere. The pair, who memorably starred together in Alex deRenzy's Two Women, went on to produce, direct and star together in a series of X-rated movies for VCA Platinum when Victoria decided to make a very popular comeback in late 1996. She was officially given true pornstar legend status when she was inducted in to the AVN Hall Of Fame the following year. Victoria maintains she has no regrets whatsoever about choosing a career in porn. "I've been treated like a queen. Everyone in this industry has been wonderful to me. I made some judgments beforehand and thought that certain people would be intimidating, but no. It's been great," she says. Tens of thousands of guys who grew up with her as one of the most iconic figures of the 1990s explosion in home adult video rentals would probably argue it's been pretty great watching her too.
