Porn Stars: Where are they now?

On January 1, 2003, she was killed when the car she was driving was struck by a drunk driver. She was cremated and her ashes scattered at sea. At the time of her death she had left the adult-film business and was working in a brothel in Nevada (Moonlight Bunny Ranch). Shortly before that, she had appeared on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show about prostitutes.

However, there is some speculation among fans that she had faked her death to get out of the industry completely.

The infamous stripper, burlesque dancer and pornographic actress Candy Barr passed away on December 30, 2005 at the age of 70.

Candy Barr was born Juanita Slusher in the small town of Edna Texas. Her early years were traumatized by the sexual abuse at the hands of her neighbor who was also her babysitter. At the age of 13, Barr ran away from home to Dallas Texas where she landed in a brothel and was virtually a slave. In 1951, at the age of 16, she appeared in a short underground blue movie called Smart Alec. Barr claims she was drugged and forced to perform in the pornographic film. Despite being an underground film, it was wildly circulated and many consider Barr to be the first porn star because of it. In 1953 she married Troy Phillips and had a daughter in 1954. The marriage was actually her second, her first coming at the age of 14. In 1956 Barr shot her husband Phillips who was known to be violent. Phillips was not fatally wounded. Barr was charged with assault with a deadly weapon but the charges were later dropped.

While stripping at the Largo Club in L.A. Barr met gangster Mickey Cohen and the two dated. In October of 1957, Barr’s home was raided and the police confiscated close to an ounce of marijuana. She was charged with drug possession and Cohen helped to bail her her out of jail. Cohen also helped Barr go into hiding and set her up in Mexico for a short while. Barr eventually faced the charges and served a 3 year prison sentence. Barr was also a well known acquaintance of club owner Jack Ruby who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald immediately following the Kennedy assassination. Barr was questioned by the FBI 12 hours after Ruby murdered Oswald. Barr was arrested and charged with marijuana possession again in 1968 though the charges were later dropped. Barr eventually retired from stripping and settled in Brownwood Texas.

In 1976 at the age of 41 Barr re-appeared in a Oui magazine pictorial older and out-of-shape. Barr later moved back to her home town of Edna where she lived out her remaining years in quiet retirement mostly wanting to forget her past.
