"Few are unaware of the scandalous sexual exploits attributed to the Marquis de Sade. Thus, when Skin Central discovered an actress named Ana de Sade, assumptions ran wild about her character. This mysterious Mexican beauty might appear capable of ravishing one's intimate spaces, but it is more likely that viewers will cause harm to themselves while watching her undress onscreen. Such was the case in 'Los Indolentes' (1979), where a voyeur witnesses Ana bathing her nude breasts, pubic area, and buttocks, making cleanliness seem incredibly provocative.

To vary her roles, Ana starred in the racy comedy 'Las Mujeres de Jeremías' (1980). Rather than tickling viewers' funny bones, however, it may elicit other reactions due to its opening scene featuring Ana and four of her closest friends, all naked, showering together. A towel for Mr. Skin might be in order! Following this, Ana shared screen time with Dominique Sanda in the action film 'Cabo Blanco' (1980).

Next, Ana appeared alongside the alluring Harris twins, Leigh and Lynette, in the fantasy adventure 'Sorceress' (1982), showcasing her bewitching presence. She saved her most steamy performance for last, however, in the sex comedy 'Tres Mexicanos Ardientes' (1986). In this film, Ana displays her comedic timing and stunning physique while conversing nude with Lina Santos, granting audiences a full-frontal view of her body and a generous glimpse of her beautiful buttocks. Muchas gracias, Señorita de Sade!"
