About Rachel Vickers

Statuesque and stunning 5'9" Raven (born Rachel Vickers on July 31, 1964) is an American former porn actress and adult model. She first started steaming up the screens in explicit hardcore movies in 1982 when she was only 18.

She was a teen model in Los Angeles when she tagged along with a girlfriend who was doing her first scene in an adult movie for moral support. The director saw Raven and begged her to consider being in the movie. She agreed and ended up having a threesome with her friend and a man in her first scene. She appeared in a slew of X-rated features for such notable companies as VCA, Las Vegas Video, AVC, CDI Home Video and Caballero Home Video.

Raven achieved her greatest enduring popularity with her spot-on wicked portrayal of the bitchy, selfish and manipulative teenage seductress Nina Sutherland in the well-regarded "Taboo American Style" series. Many of her 1980s roles would have her playing the bratty daughter or rich snobby ice princess.

She took a brief hiatus from porn in 1989 but returned with a vengeance in 1990 at the age of 26 after getting her breasts enhanced to a C cup. Gone was the bratty daughter from the 1980s and now Raven was a sultry porn goddess with a more mature and bombshell appearance. This is the Raven that more modern audiences are likely familiar with. Raven was popular with foreign directors and she made a number of adult movies from 1990-1994 in Italy, Spain, and France with her dialogue dubbed over. In a memorable scene from one of these movies, she takes Italian porn stud Rocco Siffredi's massive cock up her ass while she looks visibly in discomfort. She then does an ass-to-mouth and blows him to orgasm. Raven did very few anal scenes in her long career.

Raven is considered one of the most beautiful and stunning women to ever do porn. Porn legends Jamie Gillis, Joey Silvera, TT Boy, and Randy Spears have all said she was the most beautiful woman they have worked with. Nina Hartley has also said that Raven was the most stunning woman she had ever seen.

Raven retired from the adult film industry in 1994 at the age of 30. She planned to come back and continue filming in 1995, and even had movies lined up, but never did. Actor and director Joey Silvera said he tried reaching her to be in a movie he was filming in 1995 but she never returned his call and seemed to have left her apartment in Los Angeles without a trace.

Raven would later suffer from schizophrenia and end up homeless for 4 years in Santa Monica. She would get help and medication for her illness and became an advocate for the homeless under the name Vikki Vickers. She doesn't talk about her porn past and it's unclear if she suffered from any mental issues while in porn or if it had anything to do with her deteriorating mental state.
