Sharon Mitchell (born January 18, 1956) is the Director of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, that she set up in 1998. She used to be an erotic actress, and, with Sharon Kane, is considered to be one of the two most prolific adult movie actresses, with a career spanning over two decades.
Adult film career
Before becoming a porn star, she was an Off-Broadway actress and dancer who toured with the Martha Graham company. Then in an act of liberation, she turned into a hardcore movie starlet. During her career in the industry, she appeared in over 2,000 movies and directed 38. She made many appearances as a bondage model in underground magazines and, in the '90s, made the transition from sex films to bondage and S&M videos, nearly always playing the role of a tough dominatrix.
During her heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, she was distinguished by her lean, wiry physique and androgynous appearance-angular facial features with mascara and rouge and short teased hair, which was sometimes worn in a butch mullet style-as well as her vigorous cunnilingus technique.
Later she became addicted to heroin, a habit which she successfully overcame, and she has been drug free since the early 1990s. She subsequently refers to her 16-year addiction to heroin as her "blackout years" Chat with Sharon Mitchell Warning: contains explicit pornographic content</ref>
On March 30, 1996, she was attacked and raped by an admirer who almost killed her. After that incident, she left the sex industry to go back to college. She earned a Ph.D. degree in human sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.
Both as an erotic performer and in her personal life, Miss Mitchell is an open soft butch lesbian. She also performed sex scenes with men (often as part of a bisexual threesome with another female performer), but this was usually in her early career. She does not publicly disclose the details or identity of her personal relationships with other women.
