The late 80's and early 90's were Porn Star April West's time as a sexual star. She was chosen as the broad-shouldered successor to the role of the Brat, but she turned it down in order to keep a lower profile. April West may not have had the burning desire to be a sexual superstar, but she certainly could have if she had wanted to. A platinum blonde vixen with a firm body and perky breasts that turn up at the nipples, April West was an incredibly sexy young woman. She had a somewhat androgynous face, with a broad jaw and thick eyebrows that made her all-too-womanly body stand out all the more.

April West broke into porn in late 1988, and within a year was one of the most sought-after women in the field. She was equally energetic and sensual whether with men or women, and in fact some of her best work can be found when she's paired up with frequent Sapphic partners Tori Welles or Barbara Dare. Her straight sexing is just as hypnotic, though, as can be seen in her turns in such erotic classics as 'The Chameleon,' 'Hot Scalding,' and 'True Confessions of Tori Welles.' By late 1990, April West had left the porno biz to pursue her exotic dance career and concentrate on personal affairs. She left us with just over 20 of the hottest performances of turn-of-the-decade hardcore. She didn't turn out scores of videos like some of her contemporaries, but that just makes every April West feature that much more of an erotic event.
