Porn Star Biographies - Bridgette Monet

California Girl

Bridgette Monet was born on June 28, 1959 in Huntington Beach, California. She grew up there and went to high school in the same town. She was very tall (5' 10") and thin, with full, natural breasts and long legs - quite a stunning picture. Bridgette was one of the best looking women in the business at that time. In late 70s she began to do pinup and nude modeling for a variety of magazines and quickly began getting a lot of notice. That led to doing some loops for Swedish Erotica, Golden Girls and Suze's Centerfolds in 1979 - 1981. Her first erotic scene was opposite to Mike Horner in Swedish Erotica Film 1131: Roaring Fire Within where she and Mai Lin went on double date with Mike and Jon Martin.

Big Break

She was quickly noticed in these shorts and got her first starring role in the 1982 porn classic "I Like to Watch", directed by Paul Vatelli. While her acting skills were not the greatest in the business, her looks, incredible body and all out penchant for steamy, hot sex made up for it. In "I Like to Watch" she played a frustrated girlfriend of Mike Horner. In addition to the sex scene with him in the hot finale, she took her real-life beau Dave Cannon who surprisingly played a total stranger. Bridgette also got her first taste of girl/girl sex with Lisa De Leeuw.

That exposure and immediate popularity would bring about a string of great films like "Talk Dirty To Me", "Letters of Love", "Bodacious Ta Ta's" and one of the very first all-girl films "Girls That Love Girls" with Lisa De Leeuw, Little Oral Annie and Bunny Bleu among the ladies that enjoy the pleasures of another women. Once again Bridgette's performance in that film cemented the fact that when it came to sex, man or woman, Ms. Monet was hard to top or stop.

Bridgette was very selective about her co-stars. In the early stages of her career in addition to Mike Horner she worked with such male stars as John Leslie and Mike Ranger, but after she became established, she performed boy/girl scenes only with her real-life boyfriend David Cannon.

Monet achieved some more mainstream attention when she appeared in the March 1984 issue of Playboy magazine. In the feature she was referred to as "The Dana Cannon the Princess of Porn." Her pictorial was entitled "Playing Doctor".

Life After Porn

Ms. Monet appeared in less than 50 films in her career, but she left an indelible mark on the industry. She was always considered a class act, liked by everyone, was a pro on the set and never created problems. She left the business in 1986. After departing from the porn scene Ms. Monet went back to college. She was studying medicine in California State University of Long Beach. At last reports, she was living in the San Diego area, doing well and raising a family with Dave Cannon. They have two daughters born in January 1987 and June 1989.
