People in Porn – Kristine Heller
While she only spent about four years in the business (1975 – 1978) Kristine Heller had some major roles in future porn classics, several of which are in the XRCO and AVN Hall of Fame.
Kristine Heller was born and raised in Australia. She came to the U.S. as a teen and wound up in San Francisco. She was 5’2”, perky, natural breasts, a sexy figure, a great smile, and very seductive eyes. She began her career performing on the stage in San Francisco and that would lead to her entry into porn, as it did for others at the time.
She entered into the porn scene in 1975 and was one of the Frisco mainstays in the early days of porn. Like many in the area she worked for the Mitchell Brothers, as well as others, in her film career. She had a perfect mix of young innocence to go along with hard edged sexuality that was incredible on screen, and on set.
Kristine used a variety of “show biz” names during her relatively short career. Among them were Paula Thomas, Cindy Johnson, Kathy Thomas, Abigal Mercy, Kathy Carlton Finlay McGuire, and others.
Kristine was cast more often in supporting roles in porn films, but her personality stood out. Her most famous success was Babyface, directed by the pioneering director Alex de Renzy, who also discovered Annette Haven, Desiree Cousteau and Aunt Peg (Juliet Anderson).
As for Kristine and Babyface, she was not the chosen poster girl for the movie. That honour went to Lyn Cuddles Malone, who was billed as “America’s newest sweetheart, 99.44% pure”. However, in the movie, Kristine’s performance in the famous hammock gangbang scene, upstaged the poster girl, who was limited to a BG scene and a brief BBG with Paul Thomas and Joey Silvera at the end. Kristine played Marina Randolph, a nympho who takes on 9 men in the famous orgy on the swing.
Among the other films Kristine can be seen in are the 1976 classic “Mary! Mary!” with Constance Money. She also appeared in Antonio Shepherd’s “7 into Snowy”, the adult re-telling of the classical fairy tale. Here she played a maid to the evil stepmother (Kay Parker). This film is considered one of her best roles.
She also appeared in another classic, Michael Zen’s “Reflections” also in 1977 billed as Paula Thomas playing Connie, a coming-of-age sister of Bob played by Paul Thomas, who was her boyfriend by this time in real life, hence the use of Paula Thomas.
Kristine retired from the adult industry in 1978, leaving behind almost 30 movies and dozens of loops. After leaving the industry, nobody knew where she had gone or what she was doing.
In 1989 Kristine passed away at the young age of 39. She committed suicide but the facts surrounding her death have remained private. She was cremated in Santa Rosa, California.
In 1999 Paul Thomas directed a movie titled “The Awakening”. In that film, the main character, played by Inari Vachs, is based on Kristine Heller.
While her name may not be a household one in porn annals, she made major contributions in porn’s real golden age of the 70’s. with her performances. It’s good to see her best scenes here on xhamster.
