Savanna Samson (born Natalie Oliveros[1] on October 14, 1967 (although certain internet biographies state her as having been born in 1974, her highschool yearbook shows she graduated in 1986, when an 18 year old October baby would have been born in 1967) in Rochester, New York) is a pornographic actress. Her name sometimes leads to confusion with Savannah, the adult actress who committed suicide in 1994.
Biography
Samson was trained in ballet through out her childhood and teen years growing up in Watertown, New York, which gave her an edge when she became an exotic dancer at Scores Gentlemen's Club in New York City in the mid 1990s. She soon started making regular appearances on Howard Stern's radio and E! cable network shows.
Her fiancé's fantasy was to marry a porn star, so Samson made an adult movie with Rocco Siffredi in 2000 and gave the video to her husband on their wedding night. The movie, along with her appearances on Howard Stern, grabbed the attention of Vivid Entertainment producers. In 2002, Samson became a contract actress for Vivid (a.k.a a "Vivid Girl"). Her first movie broke ground as she is persuaded to perform oral and anal sex when she fails to hide her protests. She eventually shows facial frowning and produces painful moaning while being sodomized. Her expression of forced sexual pleasure, vulnerability, willingness to please and reluctance was novelty other producers and actresses attempted to copy.
She has recently become an author, contributing chapters to How To Have A XXX Sex Life (published by Regan Books). She also started a wine company in 2006, Savanna Wines. Her first vintage is called "Always Savanna Vino Rosso". [2] Samson has four sisters and a son who was born shortly before Samson signed her Vivid contract. Despite her career and lifestyle, Samson says she is a devout and practicing Catholic. She separated from her husband of five years in 2004, but announced on The Howard Stern Show in September 2005 that they have reconciled[3].
