First, any that makes a website that makes you go from page to page without actually just giving you the damn whole list should be dragged out in the street and beat. I will assume that the list is how 316sherm stated it.
They do need to refine their definition of who qualifies to be on this list in the first place. There are definitely some unthinkable omissions, like Sandee Westgate or Mindy Vega. I would chalk that up to them not being considered a porn star but they have Crissy Moran who is about in the same category. Some people on the list, even some high ranking ones don't belong within a lightyear of being on it. About half the top ten is a joke and shouldn’t even be on the list. The list is more notable for who shouldn’t' be on it than who should. I also get the feeling like with most list like this that recent people get a huge unwarranted boost, either because they are fresh in people's mind, or because they don't bother to think or look at the people of the past. There are a lot of people from Europe that were omitted when they should have made it.
Some comments on some of the people.
#50. Jenna is basically on the list as a lifetime achievement award and the fact all porn list probably must have Jenna in the minds of their creators no matter what. Still, Jenna is good enough looking I don't really have a huge problem listing her at this spot, and to her credit Jenna is much better looking than a good handful of people they have better ranked.
49. Charmaine Sinclair Better than a good chunk of the people ahead of her.
48. Katsuni isn't bad looking, and she might be underrated as far as her career went, but she just doesn't belong on a list of the 50 best looking porn stars ever.
47. Nikki Dial No problem with this selection
46. Nina Mercedez Deserving should be a good amount higher.
45. Rocki Roads Borderline and wouldn't be on my personal top 50 list but not the worst selection wither
43. Havana Ginger
42. Deidre Holland I don't know how either made the list, again while they aren't horrible looking or anything they just aren't good looking enough to properly up to this caliber.
41. Catalina Cruz Should actually be higher on the list, but there's a problem. It's the same problem Sandee Westgate and Crissy Moran have, and maybe even people like Mindy Vega among others although Sandee and Mindy didn't make the list and that is that they shouldn't really be considered pornstars like the others. This is part of the reason the list should better define what "pornstar" means. Do people that have only done a very little amount of boy/girl (at this point I think the majority of people, especially fans of the industry don't consider non b/g people to be "pornstars" anymore) work but are mainly known for being adult models and do that most of the time count on this list or not? There is conflicting people on this list in this regard. Catalina while hotter than most of the people here is more of a glaring admission for that reason.
40. Tawny Roberts This might one of the things where my personal preferences are coloring my views more than normal but I don't think she belongs on the list. I've never seen her as that beautiful. There is a difference between popularity and beauty in this industry and they are often not mutually inclusive (Just look at Lisa Ann and Gianna Michaels for examples.) I think this is a case where "porn popularity" when she was in her prime unfairly boosted Tawny on this list when she doesn't have the beauty for it.
39. Adriana Sage I generally like her and think she hot, but not quite enough to deserve to be on the list.
36. Paola Rey Plainly stated, okay looking but not attractive enough to merit listing here.
35. Lupe Fuentes Oh come on now, she's nowhere near enough to be in top 50 all time. It's like they looked at who's noteworthy at this very moment and had to put a few of those people on the list just to do it. List like this about any subject tend to have this problem and Lupe is a prime example here.
34. Anetta Keys I don't know if this list has an unintentional anti-European bias or not but this too low for Anetta. Nearly everybody ahead of her is less attractive than her. This is also an instance where one has to question if she's even done enough hardcore work to qualify as a "pornstar". She's questionable.
32. The list cheated here. (I try not to talk about her but it's kind of hard not to when evaluating this list.) It should only consider people while they are actually being a porn star and not when they were their best looking. At her best she's one of the best looking people here, but when she got into porn her looks fell off a cliff and doesn't hold a candle to her non-hardcore performing self.
31. Luci Thai Simply doesn't belong on the list. If it was Lilly Thai it would be a reasonable selection and I wonder if they got them confused.
30. Rebeca Linares Another person that pretty good looking, but not that good looking.
29. Evelyn Lin
28. Naomi
27. Kristina Rose Don't belong on the list, especially at this point. I can't look at them and say they are among the 30 best looking people EVER.
26. Taylor Hayes My personal list wouldn't have her on it, but it's not exactly a bad selection. She shouldn't be this high on it however.
25. Crissy Moran Ahhh Crissy, out of all the people here exactly zero are better than her or even her equal. She's the best person listed here, it's just that she's not a porn star. Out of people like Sandee Westgate and Catalina Cruz she even did the lest amount of hardcore things. If this was a list of the greatest and best looking adult entertainment people ever she would be in the top 5 somewhere, but she shouldn't be on this list.
24. Adrenalynn She very attractive, and I don't have a problem with her being on the list, but not at this point. She is too high. The fact she has screwed her body up with tattoos and other things hurts her.
23. Jessica Jaymes
22. Carmen Luvana These people actually belong about here, although I think points should be taken off Jessica Jaymes for falling of a bit the last few years.
21. Kira Kener Nice attractive woman. Shouldn't be on the list, but she's at least borderline worthy. There are people on even this list that are behind her that should be in front.
20. Anita Blond Substitute Anita Dark here instead and it would actually be a worthy selection.
19. Alexis Love
18. Teagan Presley I don't know what the people making the list though here. Not even close to deserving for both of them. There is just not way I can look on them and say, "Those are two of the TOP 20 PORNSTARS EVER", let along people that belong on this list at all. I don't know how most other people can either.
18. Teagan Presley I'm conflicted about her. In some respects I think she belongs and in some ways I think she doesn't deserve a spot at this point.
17. Sophia Santi I like Sophia and don't have a problem with her making it, but she's a little too high on this list. A good number of people even here are better than her.
16. Jenna Haze An example of "porn popularity" getting confused with beauty and attractiveness. She's not THAT good looking.
15. Jelena Jensen Like Sandee, Crissy, and Catalina not really a pornstar so doesn't belong. (Also not as good looking as any them.)
14. Angel Dark Ummm...okay I can see it. I don't if she would be this high on my personal list, but I think a reasonable argument can be made for her at this position.
13. Aria Giovanni I just don't get this one. Aria, unlike even Crissy, Sandee and the other non-pornstar people hasn't done really any hardcore stuff at all. The hardest things she's done is fisting about a decade ago. Aria might be a adult modeling legend. She's someone else that would be top 5 all time if you included everybody that was an adult entertainer, but she definitely shouldn't be considered a "pornstar".
12. Lela Star Somebody else where porn popularity was substituted for beauty, and that was before she totally fucked herself up with horribly considered plastic surgery. Even then at her she was good enough looking or THAT popular to be put this high on the list. It's borderline if she belongs at all. A nearly laughable selection, but sadly not even the worse one.
11. Bella Moretti Doesn't belong at this point. When hardly anybody recognizes you as among the greatest ever or even knows who the hell you are, there is probably a good reason for that.
10. Faye Reagan Maybe the worse selection considering position on the list, but Stoya is close. I just don't know what the hell the people making the list were thinking. She's not bad looking, but one of the 10 best people ever,...noooo waaaayyyy.
9. Charmane Star Alright looking. Doesn't belong this high and doesn't even belong on the list. Loots of people here are even better. Just a bad selection.
8. Sunny Leone One of the most beautiful people to do hardcore ever. Besides Tera the only top ten person that deserves to be here. In fact she's the highest person on the list that actually deserves at least the spot she was placed at. The only possible knock on her is the limited amount of real hardcore work, but she's not as bad as the real non-pornstar people in that respect, plus being made a contract star for hardcore work somewhat cancels that out.
7. Lacey Duvalle A borderline case for even making the list, does not belong at this spot at all and that was even before the bad implants and tattoos. It's like they had to put a black person somewhere high so they put her here. (List like this often feel the need to put a least some people of different groups in somewhere.) Then again if that was the case they could have just went with Charmaine Sinclair who is a lot better and located at #49.
6. Isis Taylor Pretty, and well known right now....doesn't deserve to be on the list and especially this high. Horrible selection.
5. Sasha Grey Another major case of porn popularity being confused with attractiveness and beauty. You could also add in a minor amount of mainstream recognition undeservedly boosting her. She doesn't deserve to be this high.
4. Ashlynn Brooke Cute, and I can maybe see a case for her being on the list somewhere,. She just isn't this good.
3. Stoya The worst selection on the whole list. Can somebody explain to me how she got anywhere near her spot. She's not bad looking, but if you asked most fans of adult entertainment if she's the third best looking performer ever they would probably laugh at you, and rightfully so.
2. Tera Patrick Tera...I can see it. One can make the case she deserves to be in the top 10 all time. I don't know if I would personally put her there myself, and I think 2nd is pushing it a little. Still compared to most of the people around her she looks great.
(BTW...I have to mention this, I don't know if it's true or not, but with some of the people mentioned here and there spot on this list it almost reeks of people close to Tera are the ones who made it. It looks like something Even Sinfield would make up before the spit, or some similar person somebody close to or within the Tera circle. Not that I have any evidence to back that up or anything and it could be completely untrue, but some of the choices seem too convenient and coincidental. At the least the person seems to be a fan of those people. There are certain large cliques in porn and I wouldn't be surprised if the list somehow came from one of them.)
1. Maria Ozawa Not horrible looking but no way she deserves to be here.
I’m glad some people didn’t make it like Bree Olson or Nina Hartley like some people have named. Bree is just not that good looking and neither is Nina. In fact, Nina Hartley has always kind of freaked me out with her look.
(Well that was a good time waster. I had too much free time anyhow.) :1orglaugh
