Desiree Cousteau
- Actress
Southern belle Desiree Cousteau is one of the most fondly remembered of
the 1970s/1980s porn stars, and not only because of her gorgeous face
and spectacular (and completely natural) body. She brought a dizzy,
goofy and endearing charm to all of her roles, and plunged into her
sexual performances with voracious abandon. Porn audiences absolutely
adored her, and in turn she didn't disappoint them. In 1978 she was
voted Best Actress by the AFAA for her performance in
Pretty Peaches (1978). Of her many
performances, one of her best remembered is her pseudo-autobiographical
Inside Désirée Cousteau (1979).
Her post-porn career is something of a mystery. There were stories that she married, had a family and settled down. There were also stories that she had a breakdown and was confined to a mental hospital. The latest story, which is given somewhat more credibility by people who knew her, was that she had studied to become a psychologist, passed the exams and was practicing somewhere in her home state of Georgia.
