Samantha Strong (2)

Samantha Strong, born Samona Susan Shields on June 9, 1967, in Seattle, Washington, is a retired American adult film actress and model renowned for her 1980s and 1990s stardom. After a breakup, she posed for Penthouse in 1986 to declare independence, leading to her discovery by Ron Jeremy at a VSDA show. She debuted in Merry X-Miss that year, quickly amassing over 100 films with studios like Vivid and Western Visuals.

A buxom blonde bombshell at 5'6" with 36C-24-34 measurements, she excelled in boy/girl, anal, and group scenes alongside stars like Peter North, Racquel Darrian, and Jeff Stryker—despite a notable contract dispute over HIV concerns.

With career breaks for dancing, 1992 marriage, childbirth (prompting implants), she retired around 2002, cementing her legacy as a golden age icon.
