Angel Kelly (born December 7, 1962) is a retired pornographic actress. With Jeannie Pepper and Heather Hunter, Kelly was among the first African-American women to "cross over" into mainstream porn video.[1] She is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.[2]
Career
At age 19, Kelly began working in a peep show booth in an establishment called Cinema X in Michigan and would work there for two years.[3] Afterwards, she began dancing topless at a bar and was approached by a photographer to appear in adult magazines.[3] She would appear in magazines such as Cheri and Players, which led to offers to do adult films.[3]
Kelly began her film career in 1985.[3] During the period in which she was most active, 1986 through 1988, she made more than 100 original films — 53 in 1987 alone — but by the early-1990s she was appearing in fewer than five films a year. Kelly's final performance in an original film was in 1991.[4]
Kelly was the first African American female star to receive a contract in the Adult Film Industry when she signed with Fantasy Home Video.[5] On January 12, 2008, Kelly was inducted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame.[2] She was also inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame on April 16, 2009.[6]
Mainstream appearances
In 1996, Kelly and Heather Hunter appeared in the music video of Tupac Shakur's How Do U Want It. [7][8]
