Taija Rae
- Actress
- Additional Crew
Throughout most of the 1980s this luscious, New York-accented, sexy
"girl next door" was a porn fan favorite. Unlike the typical porn
queen, Taija was neither svelte nor surgically enhanced; she had a
"this is pretty much the way I am" look that appealed to men and didn't
threaten women. She seemed approachable, the kind of girl you could
meet in a club and offer to buy a drink without getting laughed out of
the place. She was a very good actress and an exceptional performer.
About halfway through her career, however, she changed her look. She
went from being a brunette who carried a few extra pounds to being a
thin blonde, but she always gave energetic, enthusiastic performances
no matter what her look. She left the business unexpectedly, and
although there were rumors of a comeback in the mid-'90s, it never
happened--definitely a loss for porn fans.
