In Loving Memory of Adrian Cortez (a.k.a.: Brittany Cox)

Adrian Cortez (July 19, 1978 – December 6, 2016), better known by the stage name Brittany CoxXx, was an American performer in gay and transsexual pornography. CoxXx had a successful career in gay pornography under the name Stonie before transitioning from male to female in late 2005. Before transition she performed in more than 60 productions, appeared on nearly 50 box covers, and was nominated for the 2001 GayVN Award in the "Best Newcomer" category. She made a cameo appearance in the 2006 movie Borat.

CoxXx left the adult industry in 2009 and moved to Florida, where she spent several months in hospital battling Hepatitis B and liver disease. By January 2010, her hepatitis was reported to be almost undetectable and she was recovering well. By September, CoxXx was reported as fully recovered and made a live appearance at Micky's in West Hollywood, California, stealing the show. CoxXx started a business in Fort Lauderdale – Couture Visions Photography – which she owned and operated until her death. Sadly, she died of liver failure.
