C.J. Laing is an American former adult entertainment performer, appearing in films during the Golden Age of Porn in the 1970s. She is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame and the XRCO Hall of Fame. [1] [2]
C.J. Laing, a native of New York, was living in San Francisco. [3] A fan of 1970s San Francisco music, she hitchhiked there and stayed in a communal house with the Angels of Light. To earn extra money, she auditioned for the Mitchell brothers and appeared in a "loop" as part of the series Juke Joint. [3] [4] In New York, the Mitchell brothers introduced her to the Buckley brothers who cast her in her first feature film with Jamie Gillis in 1974 under the name Gwen Starr. [4] [5]
Laing appeared in over 50 films and "loops" during the 1970s and is best known for her roles in Anyone But My Husband and Barbara Broadcast. [6] [7] [8]
Laing is quoted in Time magazine as saying: "I purposely would not act, I despised the people in these films that said they were actors. I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me! This is about fucking and sucking!'" [9]
During the late 1970s, Laing performed live shows at the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre and other theaters owned by the Mitchell Brothers. [4]
Laing was inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame as a "Film Pioneer" in 1989. [2] [10] [11] In 2005, she was also inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame as "one of the most exciting stars of the so-called Golden Age of porn" and as "an energetic performer who turned in some of the strongest performances of her time."
