PJ Sparxx

Sparxx appeared in over 200 adult films in a career that neatly spanned the 1990s, debuting in 1990 and quietly retiring in 1999. Although she performed in heterosexual scenes as well, her lesbian scenes attracted particular attention for their intensity; a scene from Cellar Dwellers 2 in which she appeared with Jeanna Fine and Tricia Devereaux won the 1998 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene. She supplemented her income as an adult film star by stripping. Openly bisexual off-screen, Sparxx dated porn actress Jill Kelly for over a year and the two danced together for a period in an act called Fire and Ice (and also filmed a movie for Vivid about their lesbian relationship and partnership). Sparxx also dated Steve Orenstein briefly in 1990, then owner of the production company X-Citement Video. Orenstein would go on to form Wicked Pictures in 1993 Sparxx appeared in over 200 adult films in a career that neatly spanned the 1990s, debuting in 1990 and quietly retiring in 1999. Reportedly, Sparxx became increasingly concerned about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases as her career progressed and the threat of AIDS loomed. She began performing fewer heterosexual bareback scenes (insisting on condom usage) and engaging in more lesbian scenes. Although her concerns may have played a part in her exit from the industry, information on the actual reasons for her retirement is difficult to find. Sparxx is one of the few former porn stars who have managed to disappear completely after retiring and has not been lured back with the rise of Onlyfans. PJ was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2002. She has said her name PJ stood for "Pussy Juice" and is a nod to her skills at cunnilingus.
