Best New Starlet is one of the most important and anticipated categories of the AVN Awards, an award organized by the publication AVN Magazine (Adult Video News), which covers the Video Industry +18. To understand the importance of this award and why it is considered the Oscar of porn, the New York Times classified that AVN Magazine is for pornographic films what Billboard is for music labels.
And in an Industry that needs frequent renewal of its cast to attract and hold the attention of customers, the category ‘Best New Starlet‘ (Best Newcomer) garners enormous attention from both porn producers and consumers. Delivered since 1984, when the first award ceremony was held, see all the winners and nominees until its last edition, in 2021.
#PART 1/2: 1984 – 1993
* This first part will probably provoke great nostalgia in older readers, remembering the first VHS tapes in rental stores and the need to be 18 years old to rent them. In the scenes, those annoying background music, actresses with voluminous hair lacquered, lots of pubic hair, the sexual passion for the first muses and the certainty of having lived through the emergence of a new era in pornography, which was migrating from cinemas to the home of consumers.
