Mini-Bio
Serena was a gorgeous redhead porn actress whose career lasted from the early 1970s up until the late 1980s. She lived for a while in Hawaii when she was a little girl and took both dance and voice lessons as a kid. She ran away from home while still a teenager and wound up in Los Angeles. She worked as a waitress prior to being discovered by an adult movie make-up artist. Serena started out as a model and did nude pictorials for such men’s magazines as “Hustler,” “High Society,” “Oui” and “Gallery.” With her cute face, toothy overbite, strawberry blonde hair, creamy pale complexion, and knockout slim but shapely figure, Serena became a significant star attraction in hardcore films. Her spirited and uninhibited willingness to engage in all kinds of wild on-screen carnal activities further added to her considerable fame. She was the girlfriend of legendary porno star Jamie Gillis for two years in the late 1970s and made several films with him that are notable for their extreme sexual content (she often assumed the passive role in explicit S&M-themed sex scenes with Gillis). She was briefly married to porn actor Thomas Blaquelord and the couple had a daughter named Lucy Sky Diamond Blaquelord in 1977; they eventually divorced. After quitting the porn business, Serena pursued an art career specializing in erotic paintings in the San Francisco Bay area.

Personal Quotes
When I was in front of the camera, I was happy. But I was never disappointed about going into erotic work.
[on how she started her adult film career] I did a lot of magazine work — including not the greatest magazines. Including the little jerk-off magazines that came out of San Fernando Valley. Then I guess I graduated to making loops for bachelor parties and that turned into 16 mm extravaganzas.
I was a rebel. I was very active sexually all through my teens. I got married real early and had a baby real early. I wasn’t so much promiscuous as wanting to explore sex in every aspect. I was never taught in school or otherwise — never by my parents — and I didn’t understand what my classmates were saying, except that I was a slut and I didn’t care.
Well, I’m a pervert, I’ll tell you that upfront. I’m very much a rebel. During the sixties, even though I was very young, I was very anti-establishment. And just to be in the porn field takes a certain amount of rebellion.
