About Candida Royalle
She was born in New York and attended the Parsons School of New York and the City University of New York. She worked in various office jobs during school and also did some nude modeling for the easy money.
In the early 1970’s she decided to relocate to the more liberal-minded city of San Francisco where she became active in the avant-garde theatre scene, performing with the infamous Cockettes, the Angels of Light and the late Divine. And she started singing in jazz clubs.
She got involved in doing porn films because she was uninhibited and, again, it was easy money. She had scenes with most of the leading male pornstars of the era, e.g.: John Holmes, John Leslie, Paul Thomas. As she said in an interview, she could spend a week shooting a porn flick and have enough money to live for a few months.
She got married in 1984 and stopped doing porn films.
