Amber Lynn

Amber Lynn is one of the true legendary classic porn icons from the golden age of porn. Born on September 3, 1964, in Orange, California, Amber was a stripper who discovered a life in porn thanks to one of her long time love affairs. She has gone on to star in adult films during nearly four full decades and is one of the more popular feature dancers on the American club circuit as well. Amber Lynn was around at the perfect time to become a major pornstar. Just as home video was becoming popular and VHS tape machines were being purchased in homes all around the world, Amber was discovered by Althea Flynt, the wife of Hustler Magazine owner Larry Flynt, while she was stripping at a low budget nude dancing establishment. That moment changed her whole life, as Amber appeared in upscale magazine photo shoots and eventually parlayed her nude modeling work into a career in adult entertainment. Amber has been very lucky over the years to have known so many key people in the porn industry, and for example she credits her friend Ginger Lynn for being a big inspiration for her throughout her career because Ginger has always paved the way from softcore to hardcore and then on to mainstream - a path Amber seems destined to follow from start to finish. Around 1984 or 1985 Amber Lynn attended a party at male pornstar Harry Reems house. Harry was famous for his thick porn moustache, and for having some of the most amazing house parties of his era. It was at that party according to published reports that Amber had her very first lesbian sexual experience. As it turns out, the gossip states Amber had sex with Ginger Lynn at the party in plain view of the rest of the guests, and that tryst is what lead many adult video studio executives to immediately offer Amber leading roles on dozens of upcoming XXX films, even though traditionally Magazine stars didn't do video work because it didn't pay quite as well at the time. That moment is when the entire industry began to change from one that favored high quality glossy photo shoots to one that focused much more on the hardcore live action that could be recorded on VHS tape and shipped off to fans for the private viewing on players in their homes. It's an evolution that neither Ginger nor Amber often gets any credit for, but the history shows just how powerful good pussy can be when mixed with the right technologies and timing! Due to the longevity of her porn career, Amber Lynn has gone through several fashion trends and transitioned from one to the next looking her best in every era. When she started, she made the short cropped blonde hair punk look sexy, yet these days she is a softer long haired MILF who has reinvigorated the sensual aspects of being a cheating housewife by portraying a horny older lady in several highly regarded porn films recently. Amber Lynn also had one of the few legendary porn industry romances of all time. She lived with male pornstar and boyfriend, Jamie Gillis during the 1980's. They met while filming the porn film classic Ten Little Maidens in 1985. The film costarred legends Harry Reems, Ginger Lynn, Jamie Gillis, Lisa De Leeuw, Eric Edwards, Nina Hartley, Paul Thomas, Janey Robbins, Kitten Natividad and Amber Lynn in a leading role. It remains one of the most star-studded films of the era and has been viewed millions of times since its release. Jamie Gillis had been a male pornstar since the 1970s and quickly took on a mentor role with Amber Lynn being the much newer XXX celebrity. In her early roles Amber always seemed unsettled in front of the camera, but with Gillis helping her practice in front of a home studio rig he set up at their apartment, her on screen sex skills very quickly caught up with the very best porn performers of all time. Jamie Gillis passed away recently and is fondly remembered by industry insiders, some of whom believe he was never happier than he was while he dated Amber Lynn. In 1987 Amber Lynn won the XRCO Best supporting actress award for her role in Taboo 5. In the 1990s she followed that up with more awards including the 1993 Hot d'Or Lifetime achievement award, a 1995 XRCO Hall of Fame induction, and after 2000 the awards kept coming in, with a 2001 AVN Hall of Fame award and a 2007 Adam Film World Guild Lifetime achievement award added to the list. What makes her career even more special is the fact that she has continued performing all the way through to the modern day and puts her hall of fame pussy on your screen every time she peels off her panties to show her costar a good time! Some fans of classic porn may also remember a male star named Buck Adams but are unaware that he is the real life brother of Amber Lynn. They never starred in a scene together for obvious reasons, but Amber was allegedly instrumental in helping her brother became a classic pornstar in his own right. She also did a lot of charity work during her career including many HIV/AIDS awareness fundraisers when the disease reached epidemic proportions, and long before it had gotten much mainstream attention.
