Biography

Haven was introduced to the sex industry through a role in a film called Lady Freaks in 1973 starring Holiday. Annette Haven went on to work in nearly 100 porn movies, including Desires Within Young Girls (1977), Barbara Broadcast (1977), A Coming of Angels (1977), Obsessed (1977), Sex World (1977), Dracula Sucks (aka Lust At First Bite) (1978), Maraschino Cherry (1978), Charli (1981) and The Grafenberg Spot (1985).

Haven had a mainstream cameo role in Blake Edwards's 10 . Subsequently, she was considered to play the lead female role in Body Double , but the role went to Melanie Griffith because Brian De Palma believed she gave a better dramatic screen test than Haven. [2] Afterwards she became one of the director's consultants for Body Double and was a coach for Griffith. [2] Before filming Body Double De Palma commented, "I'm already thinking of casting. I don't know if there's any good young porno stars out here, but the older ones—Annette Haven, Seka—some of them can really act. And Annette Haven has a terrific body." [3]

Haven is a member of the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame. [4] [ not specific enough to verify ]
