Candida Royalle went from performing before the camera (she entered the adult industry in 1974) to moving behind it in the early 80’s…way back in the day when we were all watching porn on video tape. She is a pioneer of making porn from a woman’s point of view…and is an author and adult toy maker as well. Jacky St. James is a rather new writer/director to the adult industry (though she has worked as an actress in T.V. and film, directed, as well as worked in online advertising) entering through a writing contest the company New Sensations was holding in 2010. Winning that contest she directed films for the company and even won an AVN for Best Romance Release in 2013.
