Adult Film Legend Candida Royalle Passes http://t.co/HatVUDMIts
I remember her from back in the days of Taxi Girls and Pro Ball Cheerleaders. She actually could act as well as perform. .She will be missed.
RIP Candida.
It seems like the greats in 70’s and 80’s porn have mostly passed away now. John Leslie, Henri Pachard, John Holmes — there are a few more that don’t come to mind right now. The adult industry has lost a lot of its history with the passing of those that literally created the industry as we know it. May they all RIP.
Its far more than those – Marilyn Chambers, Juliet Anderson, Kandi Barbour, Lisa DeLeeuw, Erica Boyer, Shawna Grant …. Sadly, the list goes on.
So sorry to hear this. My condolences to her loved ones.
I find it sad that the vapid, narcissistic 18-21 year olds infiltrating the industry these days have ZERO knowledge or appreciation of people like Candida who paved their way.
Yeah, that’s the first thing I’d expect from study hall grads. Know your classic porn history young ladies!
