Coralie Trinh Thi

She is French with Vietnamese roots and identifies as bisexual. During her eight-year career from 1994 to 2002, she appeared in approximately 60 films, working with studios like Marc Dorcel, Private, and Blue One. Notable films include La Princesse et la Pute (1996), Paris Chic (1997), and Baise-moi (2000), a controversial mainstream film she co-directed and co-wrote with Virginie Despentes, featuring unsimulated sex scenes. Her performances were noted for their intensity, particularly in anal and group scenes. She also acted in non-pornographic films like To Have (or Not) (1995) and the Gaspar Noé-directed short Sodomites (1998), a safe-sex promo.

Coralie won the 1996 Hot d'Or for Best European Actress for La Princesse et la Pute and the 1995 Hot d'Or for Best French Actress, and received a Hot d'Or Honorary Award in 2009. She collaborated with performers like Karen Lancaume, Raffaëla Anderson, and Ian Scott. After retiring from adult films, she transitioned to writing, authoring Betty Monde (2002), an autobiographical novel La Voie Humide: Une Œuvre au Rouge (2007), and sex guides like Osez la sodomie (2007) and Osez le cunnilingus (2009). She wrote a comic, Deep Inside Punish Yourself (2004), inspired by the metal band's song "Holy Trinh Thi," and has been a rock critic for Rock & Folk since 2000. She is slim, stands 5'7" (170 cm), has black hair and brown eyes, and measures 34–24–35 with a bra cup size of 34C. The 2001 French censorship of Baise-moi sparked debates on art versus pornography; Coralie rejected the "feminist" label, preferring "anti-sexist." Now 49, she lives in France, focusing on writing and music journalism, with no recent adult industry activity. Her films, particularly Baise-moi, remain discussed in adult and art-house cinema circles.
