I’m A 70-Year-Old Porn Star — Now My Youngest Daughter Is Following In My Footsteps, And We Even Work Together
At 70 years old, I never thought I would still be in the adult film industry, much less working alongside my youngest daughter. But here I am, still active in the profession, and now, my daughter has chosen to follow in my footsteps. The journey we’ve taken together has been anything but conventional, but it’s one that I’ve learned to embrace.
When I started in the adult film industry in my early 30s, it was a very different time. There were fewer opportunities for women of my age, and society’s perceptions of sex and aging were much more narrow. But I found my place and carved out a successful career. The work wasn’t easy, and there was stigma attached to it, but I was proud of what I did. Over the years, I built a loyal fanbase and gained a certain level of respect in the industry. What I didn’t expect, however, was that one day my daughter would express an interest in doing the same thing.
It started as a conversation, one where she was curious about the industry and asked me questions. At first, I was hesitant. I had spent years working to build a career, and I didn’t want to encourage my daughter to follow that path unless she truly understood what it entailed. It wasn’t just about sex; it was about navigating the challenges of a highly stigmatized career, managing public perception, and facing the harsh realities of the business.
But my daughter, now in her mid-20s, was determined. She felt empowered by her body and wanted to explore her sexuality on her own terms. After some deep conversations, I realized that I couldn’t stop her from making her own decisions. Instead, I decided to support her as best I could, offering my guidance and experience. If she was going to enter the adult film industry, I wanted her to do it with a sense of control and confidence.
Now, we work together in the same industry, and while some people might find the idea of a mother and daughter both being in porn strange or unsettling, it has brought us closer together. I’ve watched my daughter navigate the industry with a sense of empowerment that I didn’t have when I was her age. She’s confident, vocal about her boundaries, and very much in control of her own career. It’s a side of the industry that wasn’t as openly available when I was starting out, and it’s something I deeply admire.
We’ve even had the chance to collaborate on some projects. While we don’t appear in scenes together—our professional boundaries are clear—we’ve been involved in projects behind the scenes, supporting each other and learning from one another. Our relationship has become stronger as a result of working together, with an understanding that we both come from different generations of adult film culture.
Some people might judge us, but I don’t feel ashamed. My daughter and I both chose to enter the adult industry for our own reasons, and we’ve both been able to carve out careers that give us independence and financial stability. We work in a field that gives us control over our bodies and our narrative, and that is something to be proud of.
As I reflect on the path I’ve taken and the path my daughter is on, I’m proud of where we’ve ended up. It hasn’t always been easy, and it certainly hasn’t been conventional, but it’s our story, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
