It started with video

1976 saw the launch of the Betamax VCR, but 10 more years would pass before the VCR became a household item. Video created a brand-new market for erotic films, and one of the new stars was the blonde American Ginger Lynn who starred in nearly 100 porno films between 1984-1987.

With her bobbed hair, heavy makeup and often natural body hair, Ginger Lynn was the perfect 1980s porno icon. She was born in Illinois in December 1962 and began working in the porn industry in 1984. She was the first Vivid Video star and would turn Vivid into a multi-million dollar business.
