Porn Star Joey Karson was a saucy big-boober who blazed her way through a small handful of steamy features during 1982, only to depart the hardcore business as swiftly as she entered it. She was a bleach-blonde strumpet whose hair was tousled and teased into a messy mass that gave her a devil-may-care look whenever she appeared on screen. Joey Karson's extremely full-breasted figure and always energetic sexing made her a natural for the carnal cameras, but she apparantly didn't like what she found in the hardcore sex biz once she got into it and left after just five flicks.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on January 22, 1960, Joey Karson started stripping in clubs around her hometown soon after her eightteenth birthday. She was soon drawn to the brighter lights and bigger paychecks of New York City, and Joey Karson moved to the Big Apple to pursue her strip career. Joey Karson was introduced to the adult film industry through New York pals like Vanessa Del Rio and Veronica Vera. Joey Karson's on-screen debut was in the 1982 bondage flick 'Angel In Distress,' and she soon after made her first excursion into full-fledged porn. Joey Karson's first hardcore scene was in in 'Hump Joey Karson,' a thirty-minute quickie that basically consisted of just one scene of her taking on some lucky stiff. From that point, she landed small roles in a few features. Her performances in 'The Story Of Prunella' and 'The Widespread Scandals Of Lydia Lace' stand out as her best and most well-known. Joey Karson left the business in early 1983 to return to her career as a feature stripper and nude model.

She continued to appear on stage and in the pages of men's mags like Swank, Cheri and Big Boob. Joey Karson's strip career continued, as well, and her huge-hootered appeal eventually led her to a series of videos with specialty tape company H and S such as 'Palm Springs or Bust' and 'On Location in Palm Springs.' Joey Karson's career in adult entertainment ended with her untimely death from heart failure in early 1998. Her widowed husband has recently started a web site devoted to her memory and is promising to release some amatuer videos that the two filmed in between 1988 and 1992. The national strip scene lost a favorite with Joey Karson's demise.
