Biography
About Sunrise Adams
Sunrise Adams is an American former adult model and porn star from Como-Pickton, Texas, United States. She was born on September 14, 1982, and grew up in a town of 90 people with no phone and only one TV channel. In school, she was a tomboy who once tattooed 'horny' on her knuckles with a needle and pen ink. She played basketball, soccer, and football, and was reportedly the only girl to play on both the junior and senior varsity football teams as a kicker. That got her into local newspapers.
She started her career in adult entertainment in 2001 at age 18, after her aunt, Sunset Thomas, helped her get into the industry. Adams moved to Los Angeles and appeared in her first film, More Dirty Debutantes 186, with Ed Powers. She later said the experience was 'nothing I want to remember.' In 2002, she had breast enlargement surgery, despite some objections, and signed a two-year contract with Vivid Entertainment, becoming a Vivid Girl. She starred in Debbie Does Dallas: The Revenge, though she had a deep dislike of cheerleaders. She won the AVN Award for Best Oral Sex Scene in 2003 and Best Actress, Video in 2004 for Heart of Darkness, and an XRCO Award for Best Sex Scene, Couple in 2003.
Adams performed in solo, girl-girl, and boy-girl scenes. She initially did anal scenes, but after a rough experience that required stitches, she refused to do them on film. She retired in 2008 at age 26, despite being offered lucrative deals, including a threesome with her aunt that they both turned down. She was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2022. Adams is 5'7", with blonde hair, blue eyes, an athletic build, and multiple tattoos. She has a straight sexuality and is of Caucasian ethnicity.
