Back in 1974, the sexual revolution was in full swing and the adult entertainment business was on the verge of becoming Big Business. Deep Throat had created Americas first porn star in 1972, but by 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have been that thing, except in 1974 there were no ethnic sex stars. Undeterred, Vanessa took any role theyd give her, because, amazingly, she was there for the sex more than the money. Fans, awed by her ferocious onscreen sexuality, made her a top box office draw and Americas first Latina star. Retired since 1986, Vanessa del Rio remains a sexual icon who cuts across all ethnic boundaries.
What her fans dont know is that her real life was, and is, as wild as anything she did on film.
In this sumptuous over-sized volume, TASCHEN celebrates a remarkably candid, confident and exuberantly sexual woman. Presented through Vanessas own archive, in her own words, is a life at once shocking, titillating, amusing, and inspiring. And because paper and ink cant do justice to a personality this big, an original 140 minute DVD documentary is included. If you arent already convinced, this book will end all doubt that there could ever be another woman like Vanessa del Rio.
Standard hardcover edition! An amazing bargain for those unable to afford the original Collectors and Artists editions!
