Biography of Raquel Darrian (a.k.a.: Racquel Darrian)

Former Penthouse Pet Racquel Darrian made adult films from 1989 to 1999. She began in bottom of the barrel porno magazines like Hustler and Beaver Hunt before transitioning into low-budget lesbian films such as the hardcore Leather & Lace series and Ed Powers Dirty Debutantes amateur pornos shot in his bedroom.

In her lesbian films, Racquel typically played the pretty girl being seduced by an older, rougher lesbian or butch gal. Having never made love to girls before Racquel nervously agreed to a breaking-in session taking on several more experienced lesbians.

In an interview for Playboy magazine years later, she claimed she was afraid her high-school friends might see her films and think she had been converted to a lesbian. Ironically, in the years that followed, Racquel would eventually have openly gay relationships off-screen, most notably with Savannah and later, lesbian porn icon, Felicia. Racquel also wrote about her girl on girl hook-ups with strippers and fans during her strip-club tours of the U.S. in her monthly column, Dear Racquel, for Velvet magazine.

Racquel also began making straight films with her future husband, Derrick Lane. However, tired of only one partner, she finally put her foot down and insisted on letting other men do scenes with her. During the 1990s, she appeared on-screen with over 100 girls and about seven different men. Her most notable magazine pictorials can be found in "Penthouse," "Hustler," "Playboy," "Velvet," and "Cheri."
