Biography
About Phaedra Grant
Phaedra Grant is a former adult model, porn star, and stripper. Born in Texas on February 5, 1957, she moved to San Francisco in the mid-1970s and began stripping at local clubs. There she met adult actresses Annette Haven and Bonnie Holiday, who inspired her to enter the adult film industry in 1976. She used aliases like Karen Blue, Priscilla Alden, Lois Lanes, and variations like Phedra Grant. Over her nine-year career, she appeared in more than 110 films and loops.
Her debut was in The New Erotic Adventures of Casanova (1976). Notable films include Boiling Point (1980, as Angel), Beyond Your Wildest Dreams (1981, as Karen Blue), Hot Fudge (1984), and Phaedra Grant's Fantasies (1982), a collection of eight loops. Her performances were known for their intensity, often involving anal, double penetration, fisting, and lesbian scenes. She worked with performers like John Holmes, Johnnie Keyes, and Sue Nero, and with director Alex de Renzy. She also modeled for magazines like Cinema-X (June 1981) and Anal-Erotic (No. 2).
Grant was notably tall at 6'0" with red hair (later cut short and dyed blonde), brown eyes, and an average build. She performed live at San Francisco strip clubs, including the Mitchell Brothers' O'Farrell Theatre, but had no mainstream roles. She retired in 1985 and lives privately in California. Her work is featured in the 2009 Phaedra Grant Collection by Alpha Blue. Fans and critics have praised her as a "fiery redhead with commanding presence" and a "forgotten gem of the Golden Age." Her films, particularly Phaedra Grant's Fantasies, remain popular in vintage adult communities.
