Annie Sprinkle

It was not long before Annie found herself working as a fluffer for many NYC erotic productions. Spotted by Distrbpix friend, director Ralph Ell, he invited her to appear in the film Teenage Deviate, where she exhibited her particular talent that gave rise to her name. Her career highlight was the early 1980's blockbuster hit Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle ( recently released in uncut form as part of the Platinum Elite Collection).
