The announcement of the annual slate of industry legends and unsung heroes inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame is often one of the most overwhelmingly positive parts of the ever popular awards show. This year, however, some followers of porn may be a little disturbed. Either we’re all getting pretty damn old or millennials have made a quick and significant impact on adult entertainment. See, among 2020’s Hall of Fame inductees are some notable nut-draining superstars of the early-00s who have since stepped back from the mainstream porn limelight. This week we’ll be taking a quick look at three new inductees and show you where to find the work that cemented their place in porn’s parade of champions.
Though she shot little hardcore content for major studios, Jelena Jensen had a long run as a leading nude model and solo performer before adopting the unofficial mantle of Twisty’s in-house matron and moving into some incredible all-female work for GirlsWay. At Twisty’s Jensen lends her wisdom and experience to interviews with new starlets and established performers – and, of course, plants herself close to her subject as they casually cause fits of arousal in their viewers. (It doesn’t hurt that Jensen still cuts an amazing figure and joins her subjects in wearing little but lingerie.) Also posting exclusive intimate content on her ManyVids account, Jensen has clearly gained the professional control she needed to dive into B/G hardcore.
With a seemingly permanent smile on her face, Sunny Lane quickly became a fan favorite when she moved from nude dancing to adult movies in 2005. Her bubbly personality, boundless positivity, and ferocious sexual energy was captured on camera by many of porn’s finest directors but aside from a late-career swing into comedic porn parodies, Sunny’s talents shone most brightly for Jules Jordan. At Jordan’s official online video house, you’ll see the delightful Ms. Lane get deliciously sweaty taking her director’s dick, among others, in awesome POV scenes and one ravenous blowbang. Still performing on her own website, Sunny Lane Live, this new Hall of Famer shared her excitement on Twitter and proved she’s still the same Sunny so many fans have adored for years.

With a whopping 31 scenes held online at Bang Bros HQ, Gianna Michaels was one of the handful of performers that really made the studio standout from its competitors back in the mid-00s. Her aggressive style and infectious laugh – not to mention her legendary busy and incredible curves – meant Gianna was an instant hit with both the Bros themselves and their legion of salivating fans. Michaels hasn’t been in front of a studio porn camera in years but keeps herself active through OnlyFans and CamSoda, feeding a fanbase that only seems to continue growing.
The AVN Awards takes place January 25 in Las Vegas where these inductees and others will be honored before porn’s elite and a worldwide audience. My suggestion, if you’ll be watching, make like a real modern porn viewer and keep two screens going: one on Oscars of Porn, the other on your favorite brand new Hall of Famer’s finest hardcore works!
