Biography
About Raven Richards
Raven Richards is a former adult film performer who entered the industry later than most. She was born in Ohio in 1954 and is of mixed-race, primarily Latin, heritage. After college, she worked as a law clerk and was married for eight years, with two children. Following her divorce, she turned to stripping to earn a living, and it was through dancing that she connected with adult stars who helped her sign with an agency and move to California to start a career in adult films.
She began performing in late 1988 at age 34, a time when the industry was shifting from the Golden Age to the video era. She initially avoided the name Raven Richard to prevent confusion with an existing actress. Raven quickly gained attention for her large 1980s hair, dark features, and mature sexuality. Over her career, she appeared in over 100 films and videos, working with studios like VCA, Las Vegas Video, AVC, CDI Home Video, and Caballero Home Video. She often played seductive or dominant characters, especially older women seducing younger men. Notable titles include Welcome to the House of Fur Pi, The Bedford Wives, and Desmona's Revenge. She also collaborated with stars like Tracey Adams and Sharon Kane.
Raven retired in 1991, though her films continued to be released into the mid-1990s. A 2014 documentary suggested her departure left some collaborators "still-angry" and noted "out-of-character behavior," but specifics were not provided. She remained private after retiring, and as of 2025, her current activities are unknown. She underwent breast augmentation in the early 1990s, which became a hallmark of her later work. Fans remember her for her energetic, sensual performances and her ability to portray older women authentically. She is not to be confused with Raven Riley, who faced separate allegations. Raven Richards left a brief but impactful legacy in adult entertainment.
