Biography
About Marilyn Star
Marilyn Star is a former adult film actress and model whose career spanned the 1990s and early 2000s. She is Canadian, born in Prince George, British Columbia, where she danced as a child in a display for Prince Charles. In 1990, she moved to Edmonton, Alberta to study pre-medicine, but soon became a feature dancer on the Western Canadian circuit. Her transition to the adult film industry began when she moved to Los Angeles, debuting in 1994 with More Dirty Debutantes 30, alongside Randy West. Over her career, she appeared in 90 films and worked as a director and a stripper.
Her personal life has been as eventful as her professional one. In 1994, she married Japanese businessman Bruce Akahoshi, but the marriage ended in divorce three years later. In December 1999, she was accused of insider trading, using bank merger information provided by her former lover, investment banker James McDermott, and shared with another ex-lover, Anthony Pomponio. Prosecutors claimed she illegally obtained $88,135 in the stock market between May 1997 and August 1998. Anticipating arrest, she fled to Vancouver, where she married stockbroker Michael Gilley in 2000. She was arrested on May 24, 2000, extradited to the United States, and pleaded guilty to insider trading. She served a three-month sentence at a federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, beginning December 2, 2002.
Now 57 years old, Marilyn Star lives in Vancouver, BC, and has retired from the public eye. She is 4'11" with a slim build, blonde hair, and blue eyes. She identifies as bisexual and worked in solo, girl-girl, and boy-girl scenes, including anal and vaginal. Her career, marked by both adult entertainment and legal troubles, remains a notable chapter in the industry's history.
