NINA HARTLEY – 1959

While many people view adult industry actresses as brainless bimbos with no discernible talent, Marie Louise Hartman aka, Nina Hartley, has been proving them wrong for ages. She has been the spokesperson for her industry for many years, and at one point, was the go-to person for news programs discussing the adult industry.

She is also an intimacy-positive activist and is even appeared in Eric Schlosser’s book “Reefer Madness: S*x, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market.” In the book, she criticized anti adult industry legislature. She is also an intimacy coach and, in 2021, still worked in the industry in mature roles.
