Samson was on hand to accept her award, which came as a complete surprise, since she was already in Berlin with Vivid Girl Lexie Marie for a signing appearance at the Venus Expo. Vivid director Paul Thomas, who has directed her in several films, presented Samson with her award.
A classically trained ballerina who has acted in about 30 adult films since the start of her film career, Samson plays Miss Jones in the just-released “The New Devil in Miss Jones” remake from Vivid, which already has set records for DVD sales. Adult star Jenna Jameson, also a Vivid Girl, is her co-star, playing the Devil in the film.
In honoring Samson, Venus judges said: “As a Vivid Girl, Savanna Samson is known to fans worldwide. In more than 30 films, this fantastic blonde has proved that nothing about sex is foreign to her. And now her star will rise even further with her top role in "The New Devil in Miss Jones." The new film is directed by Thomas.
Savanna Samson belies every stereotype of the porn star except two – she’s very sexy and very beautiful. She’s a highly trained ballet dancer, an opera fan who rarely misses a performance at the Met, a lover of New York City’s museums and restaurants, and writer who does magazines articles on subjects as diverse as fine wines and kissing.
In 2004, she won the AVN Award for Best Actress in a Film and earlier this year won awards for Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene and Best Group Sex Scene. She had a featured role in “The Girls of Scores” movie and is also a co-author of the best-selling "How to Have a XXX Sex Life: The Ultimate Vivid Guide" from ReganBooks.
