They don’t make ’em like Tina Russell anymore. The sexy brunette first performed in Times Square’s infamous live sex shows during the early 1970s.

They don’t make ’em like Tina Russell anymore. The sexy brunette first performed in Times Square’s infamous live sex shows during the early 1970s. She then began making hardcore loops for the peep shows with her husband, NYU student and photographer Jason Russell. This led to a career in feature-length X-rated movies, including Gerard Damiano’s The Magical Ring (1971) and the horror-themed Dark Dreams (1971). The busy babe also appeared alongside Buck Henry and Robert Downey Sr. in the raunchy comedy Is There Sex After Death? (1971). Before you answer, check out the naked knockout’s bare breasts, bush, and butt as she enjoys un-simulated sex in Millie’s Homecoming (1971). Next came The Weirdos and the Oddballs (1971) featuring Harry Reems and Ms. Russell’s full frontal nudity! As one of the most popular and prolific adult starlets of her era, the hardworking hottie continued to sizzle in The Debauchers (1972), Sexual Customs in Scandinavia (1972), The Erotic Memoirs of a Male Chauvinist Pig (1973), and Deep Throat Part II (1974). Yet, here at Skin Central, we’re partial to A Touch of Genie (1974) since it showcases Tina’s three Bs as well as her lesbian tendencies! Ever a seventies skinsation, Tina passed away in 1981. By 1985, she was posthumously inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame. It wouldn’t be accurate to say that we hardly knew her, but we certainly didn’t know her for long enough. At least, she left behind the autobiography Porno Star (1973) that we can take to bed.
