Adult Actress

The Resume

    (April 25, 1935-November 1, 1998)
    Born in Port Arthur, Texas
    Birth name was Helen Wood
    Under her birth name, appeared in the films ‘Give a Girl a Break’ (1953) and ‘The Night They Raided Minsky’s’ (1968)
    As Dolly Sharp, appeared in ‘Millie’s Homecoming’ (1971), ‘The Weirdos and the Oddballs’ (1971), ‘Selling It’ (1972), ‘Dynamite’ (1972), and ‘The Filthiest Show in Town’ (1972)
    Portrayed Linda Lovelace’s roommate Helen in ‘Deep Throat’ (1972)

Why she might be annoying:

    In addition to changing her name, she also wore wigs to disguise her appearance when she started appearing in adult films.
    She thought the only people who see her adult films would be ‘dirty old men in long raincoats,' and she was horrified when ‘Deep Throat’ became a mainstream hit.
    The notoriety of ‘Deep Throat’ kept her from being hired as a dance teacher for children.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was a violin prodigy who played a solo on the variety show ‘Broadway Open House.’ (1951)
    She was a dancer in Radio City Music Hall’s ballet corps (1957-65).
    She derived her porn name from her love of music: Dolly Parton was her favorite singer and ‘sharp’ designates a note higher in pitch.
    She got to deliver the most memorable line in ‘Deep Throat,’ asking a cunning linguist, ‘Mind if I smoke while you eat?’
