Candy Samples (born ✦April 12, 1940, in Kansas City, Missouri) was a busty feature exotic dancer, magazine model, and porn actress, who skyrocketed to fame and success most prominently in the 1970s via consistently regular appearances in Juggs, Gent and Fling magazines, among others. In the 1970s and 80s, she was indisputably formidable competition for such female hardcore porn luminaries as Marilyn Chambers, Seka, and Kay Parker.
Biographical Information
She was often credited as Mary Gavin (believed to have been taken from her real first name, Mary, and a family name, Gavin), though early in her career she sometimes used the names Vivian Andresen and Candy Mosler. With regard to this last alias, it was rumored, later unsubstantiated, that she was an heiress to the Mosler Safe Co. fortune. She gave some credence to the rumor when, in a purported 1978 interview in the publication, Candy & Uschi [Digard] (publisher: American Art Enterprises, Inc.), she said she had inherited "a fair amount of money" prior to entering hardcore. But if there was truth to the rumor, she certainly wasn't prepared for what came next. In her own words, "[I] met a car salesman who I fell madly in love with and he took me for a long ride. ...And I ended up penniless." She appeared in numerous films and magazines during her heyday. Much of her work tended toward softcore, though she wasn't shy about taking on the hardcore genre. Despite her pleasantly large breasts, she had a relatively lean body overall. Her measurements were reported to be 48DD-24-36.
Candy was illegitimate. Her upbringing was rather harsh; her mother had been abused, and she did not want a repeat of that for her daughter. Candy admitted it was very, very late when she started having sex and that she was 28 before she discovered oral sex.
Candy was believed to have come from Kansas City to Los Angeles in 1964. She was widowed and a single parent, raising a son on Social Security benefits. Subsequently, she began tearoom modeling in the San Fernando Valley. According to her Web site, [1], "I've always been a nudist at heart, which is surprising since I'm from the conservative midwest. However, when I was bouncing down the street in Marina Del Rey [California] and Dick J. approached me to model for him; and when he said it was nude modeling, I thought 'maybe'." About two weeks later I called him and my career was launched." (best guess of the timeframe here: 1968-1969).
During this period, Candy made 4 or 5 hardcore films, later opting to quit for fear of being prosecuted and also because actors at that time made very little money appearing in hardcore porn. Later in the 1980s, Candy returned to hardcore.
Candy was a feature dancer for many years from the 1970s into the 1990s. She has written a monthly column, Candy's Column, in Juggs magazine for a number of years. In the late 1970s - early 1980s, she made some short-footage films of "sexy-wrestling" for companies like Triumph Studios: nothing real, of course, but quite remarkable remains her fight with her close friend Uschi Digard in "Battle of the Bosoms", sure a more than revealing and realistic title.
Toward the end of her career, it was obvious that Candy had had breast augmentation; her chest measurement subsequently swelled to 48EE. Candy also had plastic surgery to reduce her pronounced aquiline nose. A natural brunette, she often wore blonde (both yellow and platinum) wigs while being photographed and on the dancing circuit.
According to "The Big Book of Breasts" by Dian Hanson (Taschen, 2006), the last time Candy stripped was in 1985. Interviewed for the book, Candy related that "I'd met...a conservative banker in Houston, Texas and we moved in together and I retired. I made good money during my career and I saved it. I paid for my condo in Marina del Rey, California with cash made strictly from dancing and modeling. When I retired I sold it and moved down to Palm Springs, and we went into the real estate appraisal business. The relationship didn't last, but we did well with the business, and I've stayed in Palm Springs."
According to a recent Candy's Column in Juggs, she is now "happily married and happily retired." As Candy relates in "The Big Book of Breasts", "The guy I'm married to now, he's a breast man and he just devours my breasts for hours and hours. We have 7-hour sessions of sexual pleasure. Maybe it's because he's French. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me before that I should say 'Suck my breasts' or something, but I didn't even know I wanted affection, hugs, kisses, and emotion. Finally, I'm getting all the sweetness and great sex I missed throughout my life and I'm just as happy as I could be."
Candy was immortalized by the Zodiac Killers in the song and video, I Want A Girl Just Like Candy Samples.
