Celebrating The XXX-Rated Star Jacqueline Lorians!
In looking through cult cinema history, I come across many Cult Movie Queens who have a great run of films for several years before dropping out of the business – and that’s the case with Adult Film Star Jacqueline Lorians!
My “2022 Sex Kitten Countdown” looks at her six years in the XXX-rated film world, right at the time when film became video, and the theater experience headed home!

Jacqueline Lorians was born on February 4, 1961 in France. As with many of the adult stars of the time, there isn’t a lot of biographical information about her online, but she ended up in the adult film world at a crucial time.
While I found her as Jacqueline Loriens, she used several aliases as well throughout her career: she was credited as Jacqline Lorains, Abby Desmond, Jacqueline Loreans, Jacqueline Norians, Jacqueline Noir, Jacqueline St. Clair and even Danielle Fabre!
No matter what you call her, she was gorgeous, and Lorains had seventy acting credits – here are some of her most well known:
She got her start in 1981 in “Nightdreams” – note the box states:
“A full length feature film on video tape”

As the VHS revolution got underway, “films” were being shown at home for the first time…
“The Devil In Miss Jones Part 2”
This is probably Jacqueline’s most famous role. It’s the sequel to one of the most influential adult films of all time.
Justine Jones, played by Georgina Spelvin in “The Devil in Miss Jones” in 1973, is frustrated in hell. So she makes a sexual deal with the Devil himself to earn a return to earth as an immortal human.
However, in earning her escape, Lucifer falls in love with her. He doesn’t want her to go but can’t admit it because he’s the Devil.
Jacqueline gets her chance to shine in the film, but it was Spelvin who returned to what was her most famous role ever – because of that snake!
Georgina Spelvin was an Iconic Adult performer and you can see more of her work, and what it was like shooting the iconic original film – with that snake, by clicking my story here:
As for Lorians, she stayed in the VHS world from that point on, as the number of adult films being shown in theaters dropped dramatically throughout the 80’s.
Here are more of her best films:
As you can see, this was the beginning of the VHS era, when XXX-rated films could be rented to watch at home – opening the floodgates to the home video industry in general!
By the mid-80’s, the 3 XXX-rated theaters in Seattle, where I grew up, had all closed down – but Blue Video was one of the most popular stores in town!
As you can see, French-born Jacqueline had a nice run of adult films – even appearing in “All American Girls!”
Lorians was a popular Actress for many years. She won an AVN Award for Best Supporting Actress – Video in 1989.
But that was it – Jacqueline retired from the adult film industry that same year. There is nothing to suggest what happened to her next, but I assume she just returned to a quiet life away from the cameras…
There were a number of Actresses who worked in the adult world around that time – a few became legends:
Serena was one of those – click here to see her hottest films:
And what about this uniquely named star?
Little Oral Annie was quite the star – see why by clicking on my story here:
Some of the most popular stars at the time didn’t become legends, but still had lots of fans:
Lauren Dominique had a great career as well and you can see those films here:

I want to say a lot of American stars back then took on French sounding screen names, but she was the real deal. It looks like she has a lot of charisma just from these photos.

Like many of the others, she appeared in a lot of films in a short period of time then dropped out of the business…at least nothing bad was found about her…

I had never heard of her, but I like her freckles. Whatever happened to girls with freckles? I never see any now. Strange.
Best wishes, Pete.
