Viper
Viper was one of porn's most notorious stars but now is out of the business. Born near the super secret atomic bomb center in Tennessee, she moved to New Hampshire in the 1960's and took up ballet. She danced in the New Hampshire Ballet Co. from 1968-76 and appeared in regional theater until age 18. She then moved to New York City to train at the American Ballet Theater, her childhood dream. Not satisfied with her roles, Viper left New York in 1978, joined the Marines and six years later married, had a baby and was mustered out for undisclosed reasons. After divorce and giving her baby up for adoption she began her adult career in strip clubs and later porn films for Bill Majors, William Margold and Jim South. Her first job in porn was for a magazine doing a layout but she grew more daring and uninhibited as time went on. She dropped out of sight in 1991.
She died on December 24, 2010, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, of lung cancer.
