Nikki Charm, born Shannon Louise Eaves on February 21, 1966, in Los Angeles County, California, is an American adult film actress renowned for her work in the 1980s Golden Age of porn. Standing at just 4'11" (1. 50 m), she entered the industry in 1984 under contract with Vivid Entertainment, starring in nearly 50 films by 1990.
Known as 'Nasty Nikki' or 'Naughty Nikki,' her energetic performances earned her induction into the AVN Hall of Fame and XRCO Hall of Fame. During the 1986 Traci Lords underage scandal, federal authorities investigated her; Charm proved her legal age via records. She retired in 1990 to pursue exotic dancing but returned briefly from 1998-2000 for six titles.
In 2002, she faced legal troubles, convicted of burglary and grand theft auto, serving five years at Central California Women's Facility. In 2011, at 45, she rejoined as a production manager and performed one final scene with Tom Byron in 'Seasoned Players.'
