Houston (born Kimberly Halsey on March 24, 1969[1]) is an American pornographic actress. She was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2015.[3] A 1999 Salon article described her as "A surgically enhanced cartoon bombshell... [who] looks like the love child of Jessica Rabbit and Bart Simpson."[4]

Career

Houston is known for her work in Metro's The World's Biggest Gangbang 3: The Houston 620 (1999), a movie in which she reportedly had sex with over 620 men[5] without interruption on February 6, 1999.[4][6][7]

In 2012, Houston returned to the adult film industry after a ten-year hiatus and performed in her first comeback scene with Keiran Lee for Brazzers in a scene titled "Sex Games".[8]

Music videos

In 2000, Houston appeared on VH-1's Porn to Rock documentary, which chronicled the efforts of various adult industry actors attempting to make the crossover to mainstream careers in various rock and roll endeavors.[9] During the next few years, Houston appeared in cameo roles in various rock/rap videos, notably for bands such as Kottonmouth Kings ("Bump") and Sum 41 ("The Hell Song"). She released her first single, "What Do You Want From Me?" in late 2003 and made a subsequent musical performance at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.[10]

Cameo TV appearances

Houston - May 1999

Houston has made numerous appearances as a guest on The Howard Stern Show. In 1999, she went on the show to promote the fact that she was having her labia surgically trimmed to enhance her "look" during close-up video work. Houston also claimed that her labia was causing problems during her dancing in strip club appearances. In a subsequent online auction, Houston reportedly sold her labia for an estimated $50,000 according to online auction, Erotic Bid.[11] Another appearance in 1999 prompted 18-year-old Staten Island, New York high school student Brad Parascandolo to call in and enlist the disc jockey's help in taking Houston to his senior prom. Houston cheerfully complied, accompanying the student to his June prom, despite some discouragement from a few parents and school administrators who believed Houston's presence would be distracting. The prom date initiated a relationship between Houston and the student, eventually having the teenager move to California and accompany Houston. In subsequent interviews, the two discussed their relationship and amicable parting.[12]

Houston has had two American Bulldogs, "Mojo" and "Marmaduke".[13]

Houston was also in the 2010 documentary After Porn Ends, which is about life after being a porn actor.

Autobiography

In May 2012, Houston released her autobiography, Pretty Enough: The Story of the Gang Bang Queen, co-written with Charles Lupula.
