Laurien Dominique(1956-1986)

The lovely and lissome Laurien Dominique was born on September 22, 1956 in Springfield, Illinois. Laurien's parents first met after her father went to apply for a job in the office of a comic book factory that her mother worked as a receptionist for. She lived naked for a year in a rain forest in Kauai, Hawaii at age sixteen and worked at a theater prior to her involvement in the adult entertainment industry. Dominique did her first hardcore movie in 1976. A favorite of both noted porn director Bob Chinn and writer/producer Gail Palmer, Laurien went on to act in a handful of explicit X-rated features before retiring from the adult film industry in 1983. Moreover, Dominique was also an artist who did surrealistic paintings on canvasses with either a fantasy or science fiction theme as well as erotic portraits of mostly women. Sadly, Laurien had problems with alcoholism and an addiction to pills which led to her untimely death at the tragically young age of 29 from an embolism in 1986.
