But the fact that sex on screen is the job and commodity that is traded does not mean her professionalism, determination and passion for her work should be devalued.Īngela White loved hamming it up on stage as host of the 2018 Adult Video News Awards. Yes, her work is a little more physical than most - she describes being an adult performer as akin to being a sexual athlete. White is the only Aussie to have ever been inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame, the only Aussie to have ever co-hosted the AVN Awards (an industry honour in itself), and the only Aussie to have ever won the much-coveted AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year. This is a controversial and taboo world but it does not mean we shouldn’t celebrate her achievements. Standing with her in Las Vegas as she collected an unprecedented 14 awards at the 35th annual Adult Video News Awards (widely known as “the Oscars of porn”), I had a proud moment.

I first met Angela (her real name and porn name) six years ago at a Sexpo in Townsville, and it was pointed out to me back then by Australian adult industry insiders how business-minded she was and how successful she would be. WHILE Australia was watching in awe as Margot Robbie got her Oscar nomination last month, another Aussie movie star was also taking the US by storm.īut there’s a good reason you might not have heard about it, because Angela White is a porn star.
