About Samantha Strong
Samantha Strong, born Samona Susan Shields on June 9, 1967, in Seattle, Washington, grew up in a middle-class family with limited details about her early life or education. Of Caucasian descent, she began her career in adult entertainment after a breakup, posing for a Penthouse pictorial in 1986 to assert her independence, per Boobpedia. Spotted by Ron Jeremy at a VSDA show, she debuted in the adult film Merry X-Miss (1986) at age 19, using the alias Samona. She appeared in over 100 films, working with studios like Rosebud, Vidco Entertainment, CDI Home Video, Filmco Releasing, and Leisure Time Entertainment. Notable films include Erotika (1986), The Heiress (1988), A Girl Named Sam (1990), and Sin City: The Movie (1992), with her performances in The Heiress alongside Jeff Stryker and A Girl Named Sam noted for their intensity in anal and group scenes.
Strong collaborated with performers like Racquel Darrian, Randy Spears, Peter North, and Taija Rae. She modeled for adult magazines like Penthouse and Hustler but had no mainstream roles. She won the 1988 AVN Award for Best New Starlet and the 1991 AVN Award for Best Actress for A Girl Named Sam, and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame. Physically, she stood at 5’6”, weighed around 143 pounds, with blue eyes, brown hair (formerly blonde), and a 36C-24-34 figure, enhanced by breast implants in 1992 post-childbirth, with no tattoos or piercings noted, per Boobpedia.
Samantha Strong was widely celebrated for her stunning looks and superstar aura in the adult film industry. A 1993 Miami New Times article described her as “sex incarnate,” noting her “uninhibited” performances that made her a standout in films like The Heiress (1988). Fans on Babepedia praised her “curvy figure” and “seductive energy,” with one comment calling her “a true 80s bombshell with a fearless vibe.” A 2023 X post lauded her as “a Golden Age icon whose chemistry in A Girl Named Sam is unforgettable.” Adult performer Ron Jeremy, in a 1990 Hustler interview, remarked, “I discovered her. When I saw her, it was like when I saw Farrah Fawcett for the first time in real life. She was that stunning.” Director Jim Enright, in a 1991 AVN feature, highlighted her “natural beauty and movie star aura” cementing her status as a beloved figure in vintage adult film communities.
Controversies include a late 1980s contract dispute with Vivid Entertainment over her initial refusal to work with Jeff Stryker due to his gay porn work and perceived AIDS risk, though she later performed with him in The Heiress (1988). She was arrested for car theft in 1990, with police requesting paid photos ($15 for glossy, $10 for Polaroid), per wikibio.us. Her net worth is estimated at $1 million, per Stark Times (2021), from films, modeling, and dancing, including a stint at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in 1998. She was in a relationship with Randy Spears, had a brief romance with Racquel Darrian, and dated police informant Jimmy Keene in the 1990s, with no confirmed marital status or children.
Strong retired from adult films in 1997, briefly returning to dancing after multiple exits and re-entries, including a break after her 1992 marriage. As of July 15, 2025, Strong, now 58, lives privately, likely in Las Vegas, with no social media presence. Fan-run X accounts celebrate her as a “90s icon,” and her films remain popular in vintage adult communities, with her AVN awards and bold persona cementing her legacy.
