Tracey Adams

Tracey Adams sometimes also known as Traci Adams, Tracy Adams or or Debbie Blaisdell is an American pornographic performer.

Adams attended community college near Baltimore, Maryland and became a radio disc jockey. Uninterested in sex with men as a teenager, Tracey did not lose her virginity until age twenty. Tracey moved to the West Coast in 1981, where she attended broadcasting school. Adams worked briefly at several small radio stations, including a midnight to six AM shift at the University of California at San Diego station.

Unable to make ends meet in radio, Adams began 'straight' acting in 1983, and continued her schooling. Later she did various topless roles in B films like Lost Empire. Unable to pay her final semester tuition at the Musician's Institute in Hollywood, Tracey first posed nude in many adult magazines and then entered the adult industry. Adams first performed sex on camera in 1985's Make My Night for which she appears on the box cover.

Adams was active in the pornographic film industry for sixteen years, from 1983 until 1999. Tracey performed in over 200 films.

Porn director John Stagliano (a.k.a Buttman) has stated that a scene showing Adams' buttocks inspired him to make the Buttman series of films. The clip shows Adams on her hands and knees with her butt stuck high in the air. "The shot only lasted a couple of seconds," says Stagliano, "but I knew then what I wanted to do." Adams won an AVN Award in 1990 in Stagliano's Adventures Of Buttman for "Best Tease Performance."

Film World once wrote regarding Tracey in 1987, that Adams can "handle characters that few porn actresses dare attempt: she is convincing as a woman of education, culture, breeding; she can play a successful author (Lust on the Orient Express); a rich socialite (Sins of the Wealthy 2); an Indian princess (Soft, Warm Rain); mother to a college-age lad (2002: A Sex Odyssey); a slick hooker (Jacqueline)."

Adams left the pornography business for a short time in the late 1980s, attempting to get roles in R-rated B-movies.

In 1991, Tracey was written about in an article in the Los Angeles Times: "Although she is free-thinking, Adams is anything but the free-spirited sexual athlete her fans like to imagine. She worries about crime and overpopulation and drinks two vodkas medicinally each night to help her sleep. She sponsors two poverty-stricken children in foreign countries. Her rented bungalow in West Los Angeles might be the home of any anxious, PBS-watching, middle-level executive except for the catalog of her sex tapes hidden behind a wood plank on an upper shelf in a back room."

Tracey Adams is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.
