Abigail Clayton aka Gail Lawrence was an auburn-haired beauty who appeared frequently in late '70s and early '80s hardcore. A large-framed girl with small breasts and a wide butt, she displayed an overbite that gave her an air of youthful innocence, says the Excalibur website.
Clayton debuted in 1976's Dixie, a coming-of-age story. She also appeared with Leslie Bovee in Sex World. Her best performance probably came in Seven Into Snowy where she turns in one scene with Bonnie Holliday and Christine Heller and another with Paul Thomas. Her other leading movies include Desires Within Young Girls and Naked Afternoons. She retired in 1980 and then returned for a handful of pornos.
Abigail made a small name for herself in the mainstream. She costarred with Gerard Depardieu in Marco Ferreri's Bye Bye Monkey and opposite Joe Spinellie in William Lustig's Maniac.
Film career
Clayton started her career in 1976 during the porn chic era when adult movies were shown in mainstream theaters. Her name would often appear in ads in major newspapers of the time, alongside other stars such as Annette Haven and Leslie Bovee.
One of Clayton's earliest movies was Alex de Renzy's "Femmes de Sade", which was the eighth film inducted into XRCO's Hall of Fame. Clayton also appeared in Harold Lime's "Desires Within Young Girls" with Georgina Spelvin and was the title character in Antonio Shepherd's "7 Into Snowy" a parody of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Her last Pornographic film was "October Silk" in 1980.
Mainstream films
Abigail Clayton was one of the first adult stars to move into mainstream films when she appeared in "Bye Bye Monkey" with Gérard Depardieu and Marcello Mastroianni. In 1980, she was cast as Rita in the horror film "Maniac". Her last mainstream role was a small part as a nun in the Ryan O'Neal film "So Fine" in 1981.
