Kristine Heller, I love her sexy face. Appreciate if you could share anything about her, thanks.
Agreed!
Definitely an underrated performer. Sadly she committed suicide in 1989.
“Kristine Heller was born and raised in Australia. She came to the U.S. as a teen and wound up in San Francisco. She entered into the porn scene in 1975 and was one of the Frisco mainstays in the early days of porn.
Kristine’s break out role came in 1977 when she appeared in Alex de Renzy’s “Baby Face” where she played Marina Randolph, a nympho who takes on 9 men in the famous orgy on the swing. This film is considered one of Ms. Heller’s best acting roles. She also appeared in another classic, Michael Zen’s “Reflections” also in 1977 billed as Paula Thomas playing Connie, a coming-of-age sister of Bob played by Paul Thomas, who was her boyfriend for a time.
Kristine retired from the adult industry in 1978, leaving behind almost 30 movies and loops. In 1999 Paul Thomas directed a movie titled “The Awakening”. In that film, the main character, played by Inari Vachs, is based on Kristine Heller. After leaving the industry, no one knew where she had gone or what she was doing.
In 1989 Kristine Heller passed away at the young age of 39. She committed suicide but the facts surrounding her death have remained private. But the fact is that while her name may not be a household one in porn annals, she made major contributions in porn’s real golden age of the 70’s. with her performances.”
