Porn Star Moana Pozzi, a dazzling Italian strumpet, was one of the first European porno starlets to try her hand at American hardcore. Moana Pozzi's success led to lots more Euro-vixens jetting over to the States, so it's safe to say that Moana Pozzi's influence on porn is still being felt today. Moana Pozzi was a busty blonde go-getter whose tall and leggy figure packed ample curves into all the right places. Born in Genoa, Italy in 1961, Moana Pozzi was brought up in a strict, middle-class Italian family. She went to school in a convent, but apparently little of the pious morals sank in. Moana Pozzi got into European porn soon after her 18th birthday. Her all-natural curves and excited, enthusiastic sexual responses quickly made her a favorite on the Continental circuit.

By the time Moana Pozzi made her way to U.S. screens in 1989, she was a rough-and-ready sexual athlete whose European experience had made ready for anything -- and everything! She brought an explosive sexual hunger to her scenes, blowing away most of her American competition with her sheer carnal passion. All of Moana Pozzi's scenes are white-hot, but her performance in 'Beefeaters' ranks among her best. She takes on Ray Victory in a blistering sequence, then romps with Peter North and Tom Byron in a frantic threeway finale that's simply unforgettable. Moana Pozzi's feisty double-dip with Peter North and T.T. Boy in 'Manbait 1' and her tenacious series of sex scenes in 'Rear Burner' also stand as highlights.

Moana Pozzi left the business in 1991, soon after being diagnosed with liver cancer. She died in September 1994 at the age of 33. Moana Pozzi is still warmly remembered by the porn industry, a business she helped to change forever by showing European starlets how to make it big in the States.
