Porn Valley- Jason Sechrest of JasonCurious.com writes: Wow, this takes me back. So sad. I spent almost the entire weekend with Anna during my first AVN convention back in 1999. I was what she called "fresh meat," a very wide-eyed 19 year old gay boy who had just started working full-time in the adult business a few months before that. She was part of our "group" for the weekend, as I was working the convention with Danni's Hard Drive. It was my job to look after the girls and there was just no looking after this woman.
She did what she wanted, when she wanted. She awakened whenever she wanted to, she drank whenever she wanted to, she had sex with whomever she wanted, wherever she wanted -- and she was completely unapologetic about her choices without being a bitch. She made them endearing qualities through her hilarious sense of humor and an unguarded sensuality that I wanted so badly to emulate. For three days, she was my idol and I regret never telling her. Say what you will about the woman, but she was a regular Sally Bowles and she went like Elsie. What a free spirit! Muah! We'll miss you! Come back soon!
Something else I find absolutely fascinating is that she was taken through no direct fault of her own. People would've placed money on Anna dying at 38 from drinking, drugs, HIV, sexing herself to death, suicide, you name it. She did everything she wasn't supposed to do, I'm certain! But now we see it's possible that she could have lived an entirely chaste life, even perhaps a repressed one, and still been hit by a car at 38. It's almost like Anna had the last laugh.
