Acting Appreciation

The adult entertainment industry has been grappling with a drug overdose problem for years. Performers endure intense pressure in maintaining certain appearances, performing high level of energy in a demanding schedule. Many resort to stimulants as well as opioids to manage physical and mental problems. These substance can quickly spiral out of control leading to addiction, and an increase risk of drug overdose and death.

Born on March 20, 1981, in Houston, Texas, Sarah Elizabeth Portland (aka Nikki Kyle) grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Throughout her school years, Sarah was an outstanding student receiving recognition as a member of the National Honor Society. After high school, she attended Arizona State University where she also received recognition being named on the Dean's List.

Sarah's modeling career started in 2006, and the 5'0" petite beauty appeared in only a few adult films. It is said, her professional modeling career took a turn towards substance abuse and addiction. 

In 2012, she was arrested for possession of a controlled substance in Florida. A year later, she moved to Las Vegas and began escorting under the name Kat Kora. On October 8, 2018, she passed away, presumably from a drug overdose.

In her obituary, it read, "...Sarah was a beautiful, kind and caring woman. Despite her struggles and challenges, Sarah found the strength to put her baby's needs above her own by finding a loving family to raise her child." Additionally, her family requested loved ones donate to Women for Sobriety, a peer-support program tailored for women overcoming substance use disorders.
