Christy Canyon
Christy Canyon never faced a real rival. Her heavy breasts and the way she moved them in a scene set her apart the moment she first appeared. She grew up in Pasadena, came through a messy split between her parents, and ran at seventeen. Retail work followed until a photographer spotted her and asked her to pose. A few shoots turned into films in 1984. At nineteen the grind wore her out. A jealous boyfriend told her to stop. She stepped back. Her older titles kept playing in stores, so the offers kept coming. She returned in 1989, signed with Vivid, and filmed while studying fashion marketing. She earned her degree in 1991, left again mid-decade, then returned for a final run that ended in 1996. Dance clubs filled the next few years until she walked away for good in 2001. More than two hundred titles carry her name, plus awards and two hall-of-fame plaques. She wrote Lights, Camera, Sex! in 2003, judged on Jenna Jameson’s show, and still hosts Night Calls on Playboy Radio. The camera may have moved on, yet the woman who first claimed the spotlight keeps her fans close.
