Amber Lynn Interviewed by The Rialto Report

rialto logo stacked 1

Last week I was absolutely honored to be the subject of The Rialto Report’s 98th podcast, entitled “Amber Lynn: Rebel Yell“, and I can’t believe how well it turned out! Stories from the industry’s heyday started flowing – and I think it makes for a hell of a listen.

If you’ve never heard of TRR, the site is “…a series of podcasts dedicated to expanding the historical record on the adult entertainment industry between the early 1960s and the mid-1980s. We take a special interest in adult film production in New York during this period but are also interested in the industry in other geographical areas. The project is named after the Rialto Theatre, New York’s oldest continually operating exploitation theater.

But TRR isn’t limited to podcasts. You’ll also find a wealth of written interviews, vintage galleries of adult industry performers and personalities, plus a variety of other articles any fan of Amber Lynn and the golden age of adult is sure to appreciate. In the last year alone, they’ve launched podcasts on and with the likes of Randy Spears, John Stagliano, Mary Stuart and more.

Subjects discussed in the 104 minute podcast include my entry into the industry, my beloved big brother – Buck Adams, favorite male and female costars, family history I’ve never spoken about publically before – and a whole lot more. I even mention this little ol’ site a time or two. Have a listen then let me know what you thought in the comments.

And if you enjoyed the many stories and anecdotes, stay tuned for my upcoming autobiography. The podcast is just a tantilizing taste of what’s to come. Love you guys!

Playing Nice with Instagram

While we eventually overcame our differences (I’m back on and better than ever), last summer Instagram took my account down without warning or notice. This happened to many other adult performer’s accounts around the same time and led to quite a bit of stress as I’d spent 5 years building up the Amber Lynn account to over 100,000 followers.

Amber staying safe with a recent Instagram post for fans.

The takedowns actually led to a protest outside of Instagram’s New York offices. I was a part of the event as the Sergeant At Arms of APAG Adult Performers Actors Guild – behind the scenes and while running the social media protest as the President and VP arrived in person.  This all ended up with me being interviewed as part of a related news article for a Canadian publication. As I said at the time:

“There was a lot of stuff that was not just content of me as a model and an actor but private, personal mementos that were lost just because they can take it with the flick of a switch,” she said. “And Instagram doesn’t care.”

My role in the controversy was small in comparison to those who protested, but the group effort resulted in clearer Insta terms and conditions involving shared content, and greater transparency between the app and its users.

An interesting moment in social media history which I thought I’d share. My account is alive and well once again, so please drop in and say hello!: Amber Lynn’s Instagram.

Amber’s Article on Adult vs. the Mainstream

Hustler Magazine April 1990 Cover Photo Amber Lynn

I was recently asked to participate in an interview with Hustler magazine which focused on my LA Talk Radio show, Rock ‘N’ Sexxxy Uncensored.

One of my main points was the negative effects of online piracy on the adult and music business.

The central theme of the Hustler article is my mission to bring together the worlds of adult entertainment and music in the interest of discussing their long standing connection via my radio show.

If you’re a fan of little old me, Amber Lynn, or the adult industry in general – have a look.

Amber Lynn Interview With CBS

I was honored when CBS News reached out recently and asked me to participate in a piece on mental health in the adult entertainment industry. During the interview, they took the time to discuss a lot more, too. Have a look, Amber Lynn fans – and I hope you enjoy it!

“Lynn said she has deep concerns for today’s performers. “When I was young, I never really felt like I was in a position where if something happened to me, I wouldn’t have somebody that I could turn to that would be able to see me through that dark period … the actors of today, we lose a lot of them, because there’s a lot of suicides, for many different reasons.” Full article on CBSNews.com

Thanks again to CBS for asking me to contribute to this critical conversation affecting everyone in the modern adult business – especially newcomers – of which there are more entering the vertical on a regular basis than ever before.

The adult world can be a rewarding and fulfilling line of work, but it’s not for everyone. Future performers (and even fans) should be aware of the risks to mental health. I appreciate being given another forum to share my experiences.

Amber Lynn and HBO’s “The Deuce”

While it recently celebrated its series finale, it was exciting to get an Amber Lynn mention on the final season of another HBO masterpiece, The Deuce. If you haven’t seen it, this wonderful show covers the trials and tribulations of many interesting characters during the birth of the adult industry – from every angle. Performers, directors, cops, mobsters and their families are all part of the story. So where did little ‘ol me fit in?

Let’s start with the fundamentals. What was “the deuce”? What does it mean? Simply put, it was what we all called the strip from 42nd Street between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue in New York City. While the majority of my time in the industry was spent in California, I did hit “The Deuce” a few times as a dancer (and civilian). At the time it was a lot of fun. This is where my shout out comes in…

I don’t have a clip of the scene, but the dialogue speaks for itself. One of the main characters, a hooker turned star named “Lori Madison“, is down on her luck and visiting NYC. She drops in unannounced at a strip club she’s previously featured at in desperate need of money. There’s a scene with her talking to the manager which goes something like this (it’s been a few days since I watched the episode): 

  • Lori: I was hoping I could dance here this week. I’ve always done good by your club.
  • Manager: Lori, you know I love ya, but we’re booked up through the end of the week. I’ve got Amber Lynn as the feature!
  • Lori: Well maybe I could go on right before her. Give the fans an unexpected surprise?
  • Manager: Are you kidding? And cut into her tips right before she goes on? Amber would fucking kill me!

Flattering, and also… accurate. I definitely wouldn’t have stood for another adult star going on first when I was the feature. Be that as it may, I was thrilled to be mentioned on such a great show, along with many others including 90s star Vanessa Chase, and encourage any fans who haven’t seen it to have a look at this remarkable tribute to NYC and the golden age of the adult industry.

Netflix’s “The Kominsky Method” Features an Amber Lynn Cameo

I’ve never met him – not that I remember, anyway – but there’s a decent chance Michael Douglas is an Amber Lynn fan. I was beyond flattered to learn I’d been mentioned on his Netflix show when a friend sent me this article today. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to get referenced by Jack Colton himself?

During the episode, Sandy Kominsky (Michael Douglas) is in bad shape. Like terminally. His doctor asks him to think back to happier times in order to (hopefully) help his condition rebound. We’re then treated with a montage which features, among other fond memories, a shot from the Amber Lynn (that’s me) April 1990 Hustler spread. If you’re a Hustler online subscriber, you can see the original pictorial here.

Below you’ll find the Kominsky Method season 2 trailer, and if anyone locates a clip of my little mention – please let me know and I’ll post it here. Michael Douglas won the best actor Golden Globe for the show. So, again – flattered! Made my day. My week, even.

I was also recently mentioned on HBO’s The Deuce – but that’s worthy of its own post. Thanks to my beloved fans for making me aware of that one, too.

Remembering Buck Adams

Today is the 11th anniversary of the passing of my big brother, Buck Adams, and I’m spending a quiet day missing him.

Buck starred in over 600 adult films and had just started a new video production company right before we lost him. He was a 5 time AVN/XRCO award winner, and is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame. Here he is interviewing Lemmy on the Motorhead tour bus circa early 2006.

Buck Adams interviews Lemmy – a conversation for the ages.

I miss my brother every day. If you knew, or have any fond memories of him – please feel free to leave them in the comments. My brother was a great man and a hero to many. He will be missed by all.

And now, the autobiography of Amber Lynn is on its way.

Many people ask me how I did it and how I ever survived ? – I did it, I loved it so what?! I’ve also done many other things and so many people fixate on me as the adult actress and to do so is to rob yourself of knowing the greater parts of me.

My autobiography is about my life and and times in the adult industry as an actress, a live feature entertainer, media personality – but there’s so much more to tell!.

Find out how I did it, and what made me love it, by contributing to my Autobiography funding campaign. I can’t wait to share all the naughty details with my beloved fans.
