Tabitha Stevens
Acting Appreciation
While I was in college, there were limited ways to watch porn. One was going to the adult bookstore or downloading a video from an internet site via dial-up. I would literally start the download, go to class, and hope I didn't lose connection by the time I came home.
One of my favorite actresses, at the time, was Tabitha Stevens. The 5'5" brunette had a charismatic presence and sensuality that was evident in her performances.
Born on February 16, 1970 in Long Island, New York, as Kelly M. Garrette, Tabitha discovered her passion for performing at a young age. She pursued dance and theater during her formative years. Eventually, she entered the world of adult entertainment and quickly gained recognition for her alluring looks, uninhibited performances, and natural talent.
Tabitha appeared in over 70 porn films, throughout her career, and was inducted in the AVN Hall of Fame in 2007. She is also a producer and director of adult films.
