Anneka De Lorenzo

Anneka De Lorenzo was an American actress, adult model, and porn star who first found fame as a Penthouse Pet. She was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States, and began her career in the early 1970s. Di Lorenzo was chosen as Penthouse Pet of the Month in September 1973, and later became Pet of the Year in 1975. She was active in the industry from 1973 to 1981, a span of about eight years.

After her Penthouse success, Di Lorenzo appeared in several exploitation films of the 1970s, including The Centerfold Girls, Mama's Dirty Girls, and Act of Vengeance. She also took on the role of Messalina in the controversial film Caligula and the Italian comedy Messalina! Messalina!. Her final screen appearance was a small part in Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill. Di Lorenzo's career suffered after Caligula underperformed at the box office, and she later sued Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione for sexual harassment, winning but receiving only $4.06 in damages.

Di Lorenzo reverted to her birth name and moved to California in her later years. She passed away in January 2011 at the age of 58, when her body was discovered on a beach near Camp Pendleton. Her death was ruled a drowning, though circumstances remained unclear. She was remembered for her striking looks, with red hair, green eyes, and a slim build. She had real, natural breasts and her measurements were 36-22-35.
