China Leigh

Her career spanned from 1977 to 1981, a brief but active period in which she appeared in roughly 38 videos and scenes, primarily in the independent porn market of the late 1970s. She collaborated with era-specific studios and directors such as Fred J. Lincoln and Annette Haven, often in low-budget features distributed through adult theaters and early video. Her most well-known films include Cave Women (1979), Same Time Every Year (1981), A Place Beyond Shame (1980), Serena: An Adult Fairytale (1979), and Long Jeanne Silver (1977), her debut. She performed solo and partnered scenes, and was known for versatility in vaginal, oral, anal, and group acts, as well as fisting scenes with women.

Leigh's physical appearance was vividly described as petite and exotic. She stood 5'4" with a slim build, long black hair, almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and smooth, fair skin. Her small, natural B-cup breasts and toned legs were frequently noted. No surgeries, tattoos, or piercings are documented. She retired from adult content around 1981 and has had no further industry involvement noted. Her legacy is that of a niche performer who added diversity to late-1970s porn with her Asian representation and roles in cult films.
