Mini-Bio
Lovely and slender brunette stunner Erica Boyer was born Amanda Margaret Gantt on December 22, 1956, in Andalusia, Alabama. Her father Joseph Breckenridge Gantt was a former attorney for the state of Alabama. Erica was raised in a strict household and was raped in her early teens by a boy she trusted. Boyer moved to San Francisco, California in the late 1970s and began her career in the adult entertainment industry dancing and doing live sex shows at the O’Farrell Theater. Erica caught the attention of Marilyn Chambers, who encouraged Erica to make her hardcore movie debut in Beyond De Sade (1979). Boyer’s adult film career subsequently took off after this; she did well over one hundred and fifty movies over the course of two decades. Erica specialized in lesbian scenes and received an XRCO Award for Lascivious Lesbian Scene at the first annual XRCO Awards show in 1985.

Boyer took a hiatus from the adult film industry in 1994 but made a regrettably brief comeback in the late 1990s prior to retiring from the adult film industry on a permanent basis and settling down in Panama City Beach, Florida. In the wake of her retirement, Erica started her own massage therapy business as well as did volunteer work as both a clown and face painter. She was inducted into both the AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame. Moreover, Boyer was married twice and was the mother of a son, Davis. Erica’s life came to a tragic abrupt end when she was struck and killed by an off-duty Florida Highway Patrol Officer driving a 2001 four-door Hyundai on December 31, 2009, in Panama City Beach, Florida; she was only 53 years old.

Personal Quotes
Most girls in this business have been abused, and they use this to get the love they missed in childhood. They generally seek two types of guys–a little boy type that they can nurture or a father image. They usually tire of the boys, and look for father-types to get sexual validation. Every man they do is another notch on their belt. Every time they do good in a scene, they get fans, get validation and that keeps them going.
