Darby Lloyd Rains' Porn Star BiographyClassic actress Darby Lloyd Rains came from a theatrical family - her father appeared regularly on Broadway. She started her career in entertainment as a professional nightclub singer. She began appearing in XXX movies in 1970 as a way to earn extra money to support her singing. She performed in adult films for 9 years before retiring from the industry in 1979. Over the course of her career, Rains appeared in about 70 films.Notable FilmsIn addition to her straight films, Rains also performed in lesbian content and the occasional fetish film. Fetish was a niche that Rains used to her advantage in more than the film arena; she had clients who paid extraordinarily well for their S&M lessons from Mistress Rains. Rains is remembered best for being a professional at all times and an intelligent woman who knew how to make the industry work for her. Her most well known films include Bordello Girls (Something Weird Video, Every Inch a Lady (Video-X-Pix), and Inside Georgina Spelvin (VCA). Other films of note include My Master My Love (Blue Video Productions), her lesbian performance in Dark Dreams (VCA), and a rare scene in which she performs anal sex in Street Girls of New York (TGA Video). Rains also had an uncredited appearance as a stripper in the 1971 film The French Connection, although her scenes were cut from the released version of the movie.Personal LifeRains dated singer Joe Negroni for years while they both lived and worked in New York. Sadly, Negroni died of a heart attack when he was 37 years old, and Rains was the one that discovered his body. It was devastating for Rains, and she wound up leaving the East Coast in search of something different. Years later, Rains wrote a semi-autobiographical book based on her life as a professional singer and her relationship with Negroni. Friends of hers from her time in the industry that kept in touch with her say that she started her own green cleaning company.
