About Stephanie Bishop
Stephanie Bishop, born Stephanie Patricia Green on September 12, 1959, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was raised in rural New Hampshire after moving there in the 1960s. Of Caucasian descent, she took up ballet as a child, dancing with the New Hampshire Ballet Company from 1968 to 1976 and performing in regional theater until age 18. She pursued her dream of training at the American Ballet Theater in New York City but left in 1978, dissatisfied with her roles. She then joined the U.S. Marine Corps, serving at Camp Lejeune and rising to corporal before being discharged after six years for fraternizing with superior officers. She worked briefly as a prostitute and entertainer at Baltimore’s “The Block” nightclub, where she got her trademark full-body tattoo—a snake from her left nipple morphing into a tiger of interlaced skulls across her belly, ending as a snake at her clitoris—inked by Philadelphia tattoo artist Harry Von Groff. Adopting the stage name Viper, she entered the adult film industry in 1986 at age 27, introduced by Bill Margold, with whom she had a five-year romantic relationship.
Using aliases like Stephanie Bishop, Viper appeared in approximately 70 hardcore adult films from 1986 to 1993, working with studios like Western Visuals and directors like Bill Majors and Jim South. Notable films include Mystery of the Golden Lotus (1989, as a Nazi spy), White Trash (1986), Erotic Heights (1993), and Double Penetration 1 (1987), with her threesome scene alongside Scott Irish and Tom Byron in the latter noted for its intensity. She was best known for her uninhibited performances, particularly in anal and group scenes, and collaborated with performers like Eric Edwards, Mark Wallice, Ray Victory, and Peter North. She modeled for magazines but specific titles are undocumented. Viper co-founded Fans of X-Rated Entertainment (FOXE) with Margold, advocating for adult industry fans. She was a popular guest on the Howard Stern radio show in the late 1980s.
She won the 1990 AVN Award for Best Supporting Actress for Mystery of the Golden Lotus and had a mainstream role as a porn director in the 1988 comedy Vice Academy with Ginger Lynn. She is not known to be active on subscription platforms like OnlyFans. Physically, Viper stood at 5’9”, weighed 125 pounds, with red or brown hair, green or brown eyes, and a 34DD-24-36 figure, enhanced by breast augmentation in August 1989. Her extensive tattoo and piercings (clitoral hood and nipples) were her trademarks, per IAFD and Pornmaki.com. Men praised her “wild” demeanor and “unique” look, finding her tattoo and “dark, piercing eyes” sexy, with her tall, graceful frame and bold sexual energy often highlighted on Babepedia and FreeOnes forums. Her uninhibited style and distinctive appearance made her unique, and she was most known for anal and double penetration scenes.
Controversies include her abrupt disappearance in May 1991, when her driver’s license, social security card, and birth certificate were found on an Arkansas gravestone, leading to speculation about her fate until her death was confirmed. Viper had run away from her life in LA and her boyfriend, Bill Margold. She wanted out of the adult world and simply kept driving until her car gave out and she left all her identification on a headstone in Arkansas. She would then return back home to New Hamshpihre, with her friends in LA, believing her dead. Viper married, had a child she gave up for adoption, and divorced before entering adult entertainment. After leaving porn in 1991, she returned to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, working as a hair stylist and later a phlebotomy technician at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. She died of lung cancer on December 24, 2010, at age 51, leaving a legacy as a “one-of-a-kind” performer, per AdultDVDTalk forums, with fans on X noting her as a “notorious 80s star.” As of July 14, 2025, her films remain niche in vintage adult communities, and her FOXE contributions endure.
