Porn Star Laurien Dominique is a gone-but-not-forgotten sex starlet, she was a pretty brunette who starred in over two dozen top-notch adult films during the late 70's and early 80's. Laurien Dominique was a cute woman with a nice body, thin but not ridiculously so, much in keeping with the 70's sexual ideal. Her pert breasts and wiggly little behind were a natural aphrodisiac, and she had the face of a fallen angel or a shy French teacher.

Laurien Dominique wasn't the most brazenly sexual woman in porn, but rather was a laid back performer, letting the action come to her. She exuded a natural, easy-going sexuality and never forced the issue. Laurien Dominique's sex scenes always bristled with pent-up sexual energy that she saved up until it was ripe to be released. A fine actress as well, Laurien was the 70's master at housewife roles .

She was a favorite star of director/producer Gail Palmer, who often cast her in her romantic, women's oriented sex films, such as her longingly sexual role as a lonely telephone operator in 'Fantasy World.' Laurien Dominique could get down and dirty with the best of them, and can be seen taking everything that John Holmes had to give her in the classic compilation 'Exhausted.' Laurien Dominique's sexy presence helped lift two of her films to XRCO Hall of Fame status, 'Easy' and 'The Ecstasy Girls.' She retired from the industry in 1983 after almost seven years in the biz. Laurien Dominique died in June, 1986, a victim of cancer while still in her thirties.
