The late Porn Star Trinity Loren was not your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill porn starlet. She staked her claim on 1980's stardom as one of the first true video vixens, a girl quite comfortable churning out the one-day, low budget sexfests that began to flood the market in the early and mid 80's. Trinity Loren's initial claim to fame was her enormous chest, twin mammarial wonders that reportedly weighed upwards of seven pounds . Once you got past the bra-busting boobs, though, Trinity Loren was a truly unique sexual performer. She was a bit thicker than most porn starlets, with wide shoulders and a broad, round, jiggly butt that took many a ribald pounding. Facially, Trinity Loren had the nasty, knowing look of an over-sexed Italian housewife, a look that said, 'I know what I want, and you're gonna give it to me.'

Trinity Loren was extremely at ease in front of the camera, exuding a natural eroticism and a fresh, witty personality as if she were just at home in her own living room. You never got the sense that Trinity Loren was acting, especially during her always torrid sex scenes, where she could throw her body around with an enthusiasm and athleticism remarkable for a woman her size. Trinity Loren made her biggest impact on the scene as star of many of the first wave of big-breast specialty tapes, established herself as the queen of the sweater-straining sex stars in films like 'Bright Lights, Big Titties' and 'Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Milkmaids.' One of Trinity Loren's hottest scenes can be found in 'Anal Analysis,' where she turns in one of her most over-the-top romps ever.

"I saw her several months before she died. She looked bloated and drugged. Horrible. And she was with her daughter Tess."

"She was the most depressed person I ever knew," says another source.

Loren's final years were characterized by broken friendships. "We had a rift," say person after person who knew the ex-porn star.

Roxanne last lived in Todd Bridges old home in Sun Valley.

Writes James Davenport: "I was saddened by the death of Roxanne. She died from an overdose of sleeping pills. She dated one of my good friends, an attorney, for a couple of years when she lived in Houston and it was one of the happiest times of her life. She wasn't Trinity here, she was Roxanne.

"I was a little surprised to see your supportive comments about her ex-husband as he put her through hell. She fought him tooth and nail for custody. After getting her into x-rated films and on drugs, he tried to use those things to prove she was an unfit mother.

"You are right though that she loved Tess so much. She came to Houston to build a new life and start fresh. Then her ex-husband tracked her down and used the courts to force her back to California with Tess. Now she is dead and he wants people to contribute money so he can raise her daughter. Her real friends who knew her laugh, her gentle side and her deep beauty will long miss her. In Houston she was off drugs and doing well - her ex-husband doesn't deserve our sympathy or support, Tess does."

Trinity is the ex-wife of Barry Woods who used to perform in front of the camera under the name Shane Hunter. They had a painful breakup seven years ago, shortly after the birth of their daughter Tess.

Loren lived alone in Burbank with her daughter and was working on a book about her life. She'd been taking anti-depressants for years to deal with her seizures. Her friends thought she'd conquered her drug problems.

Amber: "My appearance has changed for the better. I've put on about 15 pounds. I was really thin before. I looked like a drug addict. I wasn't. I've had braces. I now have long brownish red hair.

"I'm Irish, Italian and American Indian.

"I met Trinity in the business in 1990. We were best friends. I'd stay at her house. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She was caring. She was there for people. If I ever needed a baby sitter, she'd pick up my daughter and let her spend the night. She was very close to her little girl. They were always hugging and affectionate...

"I'm in shock [over Loren's passing]. It still hasn't gotten to me yet. I can't believe it.

Sharon Mitchell frequently stripped in clubs with Loren. "It was a decadent time. We had just finished a Saturday afternoon matinee show [late '80s]. It'd been a good tipping day and we were bored. We looked at each other and said, 'f--- it, let's go shopping.' We went up and down Walnut Street in Philadelphia and we bought everything. She had that blonde hair and big tits and she bought all these thigh-high Gold Lemay boots. We spent all our money.

"I rented a guest house from Trinity when she and Barry lived in Van Nuys. She always had openness in her heart for me. We had a rift in our relationship two years ago. I inherited her bird Boo."

"The private life of a performer is often very different from their onscreen personas. We can't make judgments about Roxanne's life, but we do know that Trinity left her mark on her fans. That is why we still appreciate and remember her.
