About Channone

Channone, born Valerie Schmitt on September 2, 1974, in France, is a retired French adult film actress and model. Raised in France, she initially wanted to be a nun as a child, according to an interview with Private. She entered the adult entertainment industry in 1993 at age 19, debuting in films like Private Gold 25: When the Night Falls (1997) and L'Indécente aux Enfer (1997), per IMDb and Babepedia. Using aliases like Chamonie, Channene, Channon, Chanone, Chantille, Chaonnone, Eva, Chamonie Channene, Chonnon, and Channon Chanone, she appeared in approximately 60 films from 1994 to 2004, including Chateau de Passion (1996), Triple X Video 6 (1995), and The Tower (1995), known for her brunette hair, brown eyes, 5’5” height, 110-pound frame, 34B-24-34 measurements, and occasional tattoo on her right buttock (likely temporary), per IAFD and EGAFD. According to her she intially cut her hair short "to stand out" in a crowded European porn field.

Fans praised her as “a French beauty with intense energy,” noting her Chateau de Passion scenes (2024 comment: “I loved her short hair!,” user: eurofan74). A 2024 X post called her “a 90s icon in Triple X Video 6” (@RetroPornFan). EGAFD (2023) described her as “a dynamic performer with sultry charm.” The Rialto Report said, "Liza Harper, Rebecca Lord, and Channone, were the three musketeers of French adult stars in the U.S. in the 1990s."

Her performances spanned anal, group, and lesbian scenes, often with a focus on unbridled passion, per Boobpedia. She collaborated with performers like Rocco Siffredi and Laura Angel, and worked with studios like Private, Marc Dorcel, and VTO, per IAFD. She would often fly between Europe and America and was one of the few French pornstars to have a constant presence in American adult films. Retiring in 1997, Channone, now 50 as of August 14, 2025, lives privately with no active social media presence, her work preserved in 1990s–2000s European adult film archives.
