Ginger Lynn was born Ginger Lynn Allen on December 14, 1962, in Rockford, Illinois. Ginger Lynn was ranked as one of the greatest porn stars of all time by AVN (Adult Video News) and is said to be the first official porn star by title. Although we can’t say if that is true or not, what we do know for sure is that Ginger Lynn was the first-ever Vivid girl, beating out Traci Lords for the coveted title. Ginger Lynn was a huge porn star during the 1980s. During her time, there was probably nobody more famous other than maybe John Holmes. In February 1986 Ginger Lynn decided to stop making adult films and attempt to establish a career in mainstream movies under her full real name, Ginger Lynn Allen or Ginger Allen. She did appear in several non-adult films, mostly low-budget b movies or television shows. She never really got the mainstream rolls she desired. However, it is interesting to note that at the age of 43 when most girls in this business consider themself too old to perform, Ginger Lynn finally started to get roles in more popular movies. For example in December of 2005 Ginger Lynn appeared in American Pie: Band Camp playing the supporting role of Nurse Sanders. Some of her other movie roles include:

• National Lampoon’s Van Wilder The Rise Of Taj (2007)
• Kisses and Caroms (2006)
• American Pie Presents Band Camp (2005)
• The Devil’s Rejects (2005)
• The Independent (2000)
• Bound & Gagged: A Love Story (1992)
• Young Guns II (1990)
• Satan’s Storybook (1989)
• Vice Academy (1989)

No matter what may be said about Ginger Lynn, the one thing they can’t dispute is that Ginger Lynn was a megastar. She even dated famous movie stars like Charlie Sheen. Part of her early popularity seems to stem from her willingness to perform anal sex, lesbianism, and double penetration which in the 1980s adult film market, was a rare thing, especially among big-name porn actresses of her caliber. Ginger was also well known and loved for her explicit and inventive dirty talking during her performances.
