Porn Star Ashley Welles was an underappreciated staple of the 80's hardcore scene, a woman who stayed on the fringes of the industry throughout the decade without quite getting her due. Ashley Welles was a curvaceous cutie whose lush curves provided plenty of sensual chills for audiences and partners alike. Her blonde-haired, blue-eyed looks are the kind that never go out of style, and her tenacious way with a sex scene got her plenty of work.

Ashley Welles first hit the scene in 1980, appearing in a brief scene in 'Debbie Does Dallas 2.' She continued to turn up sporadically in porn for the next eight years. Ashley Welles could always be counted on to bring a spark of energy to her sex scenes, and was known as one of the most vocal performers around. She rarely got a chance at a starring role, but when she did she pulled it off with ease. Just check out her starring turn in 1985's 'Barely Legal,' where she plays a sexually curious high school girl on the make. She turns out Tasha VouxM and Ron Jeremy in a pair of scorchers and leaves no doubt that she can carry a feature.

Ashley Welles continued to be relegated to small roles, though, which she heated up as only she could. Her fireside strip in 1986's 'Decadence' is the stuff that erotic dreams are made of, and her wild barroom four-way in 'In All The Right Places' is a white-hot slice of pure lust. Ashley Welles left the business in 1988 after shooting more than 60 sizzling sexvids.
