The Brains Behind Amber Lynn

There’s a lot you probably don’t know about Amber Lynn.

For example, were you aware she has her SAG card? Or is a Sergeant-at-Arms for the Adult Performance Artist’s Guild? Or has been the host of a weekly radio podcast for nearly a decade? Or is an advocate for worldwide animal rescue?

SAG-AFTRA represents approximately 160,000 performers and media professionals across 25 locals in the United States who work in film and digital motion pictures, television programs, commercials, video games, corporate/educational and non-broadcast productions, new media, television and radio news outlets, as well as major label recording artists.

While we’re on the subject of the brains behind the bombshell, She also has a Plan B education, went to real estate trade school and has worked extensively with addicts in detox and recovery clinics.

The Hallowed Halls of Adult Fame

In 1996 Amber Lynn was inducted into the XRCO (X-Rated Critics Organization) Hall of Fame. Followed by her 2009 addition to the AVN (Adult Video News) Hall of Fame.

Her career, spanning several decades, has been marked by a range of performances in more than 500 films. Amber’s versatile acting skills, charismatic screen presence and consistency in delivering memorable performances have left an indelible mark on the adult/porn industry – to say the least.

Her ability to push boundaries while maintaining a high level of professionalism has earned her the respect of critics and audiences alike. Her ongoing participation in the industry, both in front of and behind the camera, further underlines her dedication and passion for the craft. These hallmarks have led to her recognition by these prestigious institutions.

So – there’s more to this lady than meets the eye, and thank goodness our eyes still get to look at such a community-minded, gorgeous and clever individual. I prefer emails for professional outreach but comments for comments and questions from fans.

Feel free to leave a comment below. Remember, this is Amber’s official site and she sees everything. And absolutely loves and welcomes it.

From Amber:

I was busy scanning some favorites from a box of old photos last weekend, and came across this gem from one of the first AVN award ceremonies.

What can I say about the late, great Jamie Gillis? He was a good friend and frequent “professional partner”, a shoulder to lean on when needed – and hands down the most talented male performer ever to grace the industry. And I’m just talking about his acting chops. Don’t get me started!


“I lived with him and at one point I was engaged to him, and we had a very serious, very real relationship, so it’s devastating. He started contacting me again about a year ago, and he didn’t tell me he had cancer, but I could tell that he wanted to be friends and be in contact, so it makes perfect sense to me now. At the time I just was really happy to hear from him. We had not been in close contact.” – AVN

I’m showing off the promise ring Jamie gave me in this photo. Things ultimately didn’t work out between us, but we lived together for a long time and he’ll always have a special place in my heart.

My favorite on-set memory of Jamie is definitely the scene we shared in Taboo 5. There will always be a little bit of my character, Satana, in me to say the least – what a fun shoot!

If you remember the movie, or any other scenes I did with Mr. Gillis, I’d love to hear what you think. I’d also love to know if you’d like to hear about more memories from specific movies, friends I had in the “biz”, or anything else you’re curious about. All you have to do is ask me in the comments, and – yes – it’s really me.
