About Ashlyn Gere
If you are a member of Generation X, then the name, face and figure of North Carolina's Ashlyn Gere should be intimately familiar. Arguably the hottest and most popular pornstar of the 1990s, Ashlyn Gere quickly became one of those rare breed of adult actresses: a woman who lives up to her super-starlet hype and then some. She has already left a sexual legacy which may never be matched by any actress, and her work has been recognized, honored and awarded by industry institutions Adult Video News, Fans of X-Rated Entertainment, and the X-Rated Critics Organization.
Secrets is the best introduction to Ms. Gere one could have, from her opening scorcher with Rocco Siffredi, to her thrilling threesome with Samantha Strong and Siffredi, and ending with a sensuous girl-girl scene with Zara Whites. She is the one responsible for maintaining the heat of this big-budget movie from beginning to end. Actually, Ashlyn's first work under Andrew Blake can be found in House of Dreams, where she has a one-on-one with Randy West. Since we have plenty of Ashlyn to worship in Secrets, I suppose we can let the director off the hook for showing our girl in only a single scene saved for the movie's end. Although House of Dreams is considered to be one of Blake's finest, you should definitely pick up both to see as much Gere as possible.
One of her best films to date has been the two-part Michael Ninn epic, The Secret Garden, in which she appears in every other scene and simply sizzles with longtime porn studs Mike Horner, Randy Spears and Jonathan Morgan. When Ashlyn gets fucked, she throws her whole body into the scene. Ashlyn was also featured in several VCA titles, including the Empire Award-winning The Tease, where she and Tom Byron put on a voyeuristic show for the stunning Lauren Hall. Her body-hugging yellow dress can barely contain her front-end curves which are subjected to Byron's horny groping and aggressive stroking. In The Last Resort, she and slinky Selena make lesbian love before dragging in Mr. Byron into a lusty threesome.
If there is one must scene from Ashlyn it is likely her threesome from 1996's Picture Perfect with Jenna Jameson. It is the only time the two arguably biggest and most beautiful pornstars of the 1990s have sex. It was later featured on numerous compilations making it one of, if not the, scene of the 1990s.
Ashlyn Gere is also an actress in mainstream film and television, best known for her work on the television series Space: Above and Beyond. She was a cheerleader in high school and graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a double major in Theater Arts and Communications.
Freeones ranked her as the 3rd best pornstar of the 1990s.
She posed for 32 covers, 10 photosets, and 22 videos, before retiring in 2003.
She also appeared in an episode of the X-Files. According to some, David Duchovny was quite the pornhound and he brought her to show because he took a liking to her acting skills. (Yah, right).
