Here's a woman who turned her lusty, swinging lifestyle into a career that she could really get into. Porn Star Barbara Dare was one of the top stars of the late 1980's, a hard-charging beauty with a soft look. Barbara Dare was living and working in New York, going to swingers' parties at Plato's Retreat, a notorious partner-swapping den where she could satisfy her decadent desires to her heart's content. Barbara Dare was such a well-loved fixture on the swingers' scene that she was voted Miss Plato's. And when Barbara Dare decided to start earning while she burned, she had just as big an impact on the hardcore industry. She moved to Hollywood, signed with Essex Productions, and the rest is erotic history.

Barbara Dare was a gorgeous woman, one of the best-looking ladies to ever steam up a hardcore set. With a slim, 5'5' figure, shapely butt, and full, bra-busting boobs, she had a body to die for. She had long, curly brown locks that framed a stunningly pretty face -- Barbara Dare easily could have been a cover girl with any modeling agency. She made her mark on the sex film industry with her absolutely driven sexual performances. Barbara Dare was insanely intense during sex, demonstrating a lusty relish for her work that proved she wasn't in it for the money -- she was in it for the sex. She could wear out the most hardy partner with her energetic, frenetic approach to sex, a passion for ecstasy that was evident in every on-screen sexing she engaged in. She left the business in early 1990, after appearing in almost 100 features. A member of the AVN Hall of Fame, Barbara Dare was a wild, wanton woman who always burned up the screen -- a true porn legend.

Barbara Dare received the award in 1989 from the Adult Video News for the movie 'Naked Stranger'.
