About Christy Canyon

Standing at five-foot-seven with a tempting, curvy figure, Christy Canyon is born to be a model. In fact, her 36DD-24-36 body is naturally and perfectly formed without any help of plastic surgery. Christy Canyon’s beautiful dark brown hair, big eyes, and her Italian-American features caught porn star Greg Rome’s attention while she was on the streets in Hollywood. Greg Rome knew right away that Christy Canyon would be a great addition to the business that he was in. Without a doubt, Greg Rome approached Christy Canyon and handed her the business card of pornography agent Jim South and encouraged her to contact this talent recruiter. After meeting Jim South in person and after careful considerations, Christy Canyon decided to start her career as a figure model for men’s magazines. In 1984, Christy Canyon performed in her first adult video Swedish Erotica 57 with the famous adult actor Ron Jeremy, who was also known as “the Hedgehog.”

Born on June 17, 1996, in Pasadena, California, Christy Canyon was named Melissa Kaye Bardizbanian. During her years in the adult entertainment industry, Christy Canyon had several different stage names such as Missy, Tara White, Sara Wine, Tara Wine, Linda, and the alternative spellings of Christy: Christie and Cristy. No matter which name she used, Christy Canyon has always been successful in the business.

In addition, Christy Canyon was also a winner of Halls of Fame for both XRCO (X-Rated Critics Organization) in 1993 and AVN (Adult Video News) in 2005.
