This week we have a performer that few may even remember and in some cases have never heard of. Her name is Eva Allen. Details of her life before and after porn are sketchy at best. Still, I felt Ms. Allen needed to be added to this series because she was a fairly big part of the 80’s golden age in porn.

While there is no definitive info on where she was born, some say California, we do know that she was born on April 25, 1965. It was also speculated that she was born back east, possibly New York. Her foray into porn didn’t come until 1987 and would only last for about 3 years.

She was a popular nude model in many of the top men’s magazines of the time. Because most of them were published in New York, some believe that is where she was from. She appeared in a lot of spreads in magazines like Club, Gallery, High Society, etc. She then decided to give porn a try to supplement her income and she. quickly found work in porn.

She was very tall, all natural, had a vivacious look and above all, was a very sexual person with a voracious appetite for pleasure. From the start she used a variety of names to go by to keep her porn career in perspective. So while Eva Allen may not strike a note, maybe the names Marlena Bond, Faron Heights, Natasha Nash or Monique DuBois will. She also, as you can see, was able to change her look.

On screen she presented a very sultry persona and with her height (almost 6’ tall), all natural body and curves she became an immediate hit in the supporting roles she played. In addition Ms. Allen also possessed some decent acting chops that helped make her roles very realistic.Among the films she appeared in were “Saddletramp”, “Loose Ends” and ”Jane Bond Meets Thunderthighs”. However, Eva Allen’s most memorable performances was as the star of the 1988 Henri Pachard/Alex DeRenzy film ‘The Nicole Stanton Story 1 and 2’ which I just reviewed on my “Porn Classics Revisited” on AAN.

She left the industry in 1989 with no fanfare and disappeared from the scene altogether. Since then no one has any idea where Ms. Allen, who would be 51 today, is or what she may be doing. Thankfully, she did leave behind a treasure trove of about 30 films, many now on DVD for you to still enjoy. Eva Allen may not have been a superstar, but for the few years she was around she was an important part of the late 80’s porn scene.
