An In-Depth Look At How Long It Takes To Become An AVN Hall Of Famer

Last week, we brought you a look at some of the inductees into the AVN Hall of Fame for 2015, and now the Internet Adult Film Database (link below) is bringing us an in-depth look at how long it takes for an adult performer to make their way into the Hall of Fame.

While there are eligibility rules for sports hall of fame induction, there are no formal rules which AVN seems to follow, so the good people at iafd did a little legwork of their own to determine what the averages are for inductees. Also, for context, this whole investigation was spurred by Kaylani Lei's inclusion in this year's class.

Turns out, it takes 16.76 years of service, on average to get into the Hall, so Kaylani’s 13 years in the industry puts her a little ahead of the curve. Some of her fellow nominees got in as quicker than the average – Kelly Madison (12 years),  Dan O’Connell (13), Tim Von Swine and Porno Dan (14) and Joanna Jet (15).  But most took a little longer: Alana Evans and Wesley Pipes (17), Eli Cross (18), Andre Madness (19), Billy Glide and Craven Moorehead (20), Greg Alves (21), Marci Hirsch (23), Howard Levine, Talon and Rayveness (25), Will Ryder (29), Karen Summer (33), Marc Dorcel (36) and the longest time to induction ever goes to this year’s honoree, Al Goldstein (47 years).

If you're wondering what the shortest time from the start of a career to induction is, it's eight years...

Some other fun facts – Joey Stefano and Victoria Paris were both inducted in 1997 with only 8 years under their belts; Shy Love got inducted next fastest with only 10 years in the industry.
