"Between 1970 and 1980, there was a captivating French actress named Aline Mess. Known primarily for her roles in low-budget B-movies, which were renowned more for their leading ladies than plot or quality, Aline's most notable film is 'The Night in Varennes' (1982). However, it is her explicit performance in 'Devil Hunter' (1980) that secures her place in our collection. In a tribal scene, she discards her loincloth, dances barefoot, and proudly displays her figure. Aline possessed an ample bush, athletic physique, and pert breasts that were prominently featured during her provocative dance. Following this role, she starred in 'Diamonds of Kilimandjaro' (1983), where she once again danced topless to tribal drums. Although her career waned mid-decade, we continue to reminisce about her performances and hope for her return to the screen."

"Austria-born Sonja Martin's brief yet noteworthy acting stint was predominantly marked by roles that demanded full nudity, a fact met with no complaints from enthusiasts. Initially pursuing medicine, Martin's attention shifted when a Penthouse photographer chanced upon her, subsequently leading to appearances in both Larry Flynt's adult magazine and the more upscale Playboy. Her acting debut came in 1982 with the Israeli comedy 'Sapihesor' or 'Private Popsicle'. However, it was a year later, on the beach in 'Lemon Popsicle IV', that Martin first bared all on the big screen. She then played a lead role in 'Emmanuelle IV' (1984), fleeing to Brazil post a breakup, much to the delight of series aficionados.

In 1985, Martin starred alongside Linda Blair in the women's prison exploitation film, 'Red Heat', famously featuring a racy group shower scene. Yet, her most notable performance was in 'La chica que cayo del cielo' (1986), also known as 'Melody of Passion'. Here, she portrayed a woman who inherits a Spanish castle turned luxury brothel, engaging sexually with its occupants.

Martin's final film appearance was in 'Young Love: Lemon Popsicle 7' (1987) before retiring from acting in 1988. Given the extensive on-screen exposure within her short career, few could fault Martin for calling it quits. Upon witnessing Sonja Martin, one might find their ardor ignited."
