Sharon Mitchell, whose birthday is today, was the first actress I ever saw in a porn movie who didn’t look like a porn star. She looked kind of like a tiger.
She was neither striped nor furred, but she was lean, long and almost predatory, with short hair and a sharp, mobile, intelligent face; I don’t know what movie it was, but I always remembered Miss Sharon Mitchell.
Now she’s the director of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, one of the grandes dames of porn, a veteran of the business, justifiably famous for much more than her 600-plus movies, but to me she’s still Miss Sharon Mitchell, the tawny, almost androgynous girl who didn’t look like the rest of them.
