Harlem native Vanessa Del Rio, born on March 31, 1952, defined the phrase ""Latin spitfire"" for a generation of porn fans. A member of the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame, Vanessa began her career doing loops in 1974 and remained active onscreen until 1986, when she retired to run her fan club and make personal appearances. Of Cuban and Puerto Rican extraction, pornstar Vanessa del Rio (aka Venessa Del Rio) was the original Latina porn star. Canonized by the Church of the Subgenius and mentioned in a song by Digital Underground, Vanessa Del Rio is reknowned for her unusually large clit, a generous 42DD-26-36 figure, and her extraordinary energy and passion, especially when it comes to anal sex.
