Back in the day, the first - and still the best known - Latina porn queen, voluptuous Vanessa del Rio, set the standard for female on-camera nastiness.
    Few performers to this day can capture the raw animal heat that wafted off the super-sultry half Puerto Rican/half Cuban bombshell. Maybe because this was one smut slut who actually loved her work. Asked if she enjoyed doing porn, she answered, "Are you serious? Did not I look like I was enjoying it, huh? What a dumb question! Twelve years of sucking cock and stretching my mouth til my features were distorted and my eyes rolled back in my head and you ask me if I enjoyed it?" Even though del Rio retired in the mid-1980s due to her fear of contracting AIDS, she remains immensely popular - a tribute to her trailblazing impact. Of her close to 200 titles, she names as her favorites her very first porno - 1974's China Doll - plus Filthy Rich, Dracula Exotic, the Dancers, Pink Ladies and Deep Inside Vanessa. She also appeared in such classics as Babylon Pink, Her Name Was Lisa and Devil in Miss Jones #3. Del Rio was the embodiment of lust.
