Shy Love

Shy Love has always carried herself like someone running the business as well as starring in it, and in her case that was literally true. Arriving in 2003, she spent the following years as a busy performer, then built a talent agency of her own and moved into directing parodies, a run crowned by her 2013 induction into the AVN Hall of Fame. On camera that savvy reads as confidence: she gives a scene everything while never quite looking as if she has handed over control.

BDSM Mansion's vintage collection catches her in 2005 shoots with Christina Carter, and in a group scene with Isis Love, Sarah Blake and Nina. Further clips pair her with Evan Stone and Talon, with appearances alongside Anna Mills, Staci Thorn and Jasmine Byrne.
