AVN AWARDS 1997 AVN Award for Best Solo/Tease Performance 2012 AVN Hall of Fame 1997 CAVR Starlet of Year 1997 People's Choice Adult Award "Best Newcomer" 2000 Hot d'Or "Best Teased Performance" 2005 FICEB05 (Festival de Cinema Eròtic de Barcelona) "Ninfa from the public" to the best actress. Silvia Saint is a Czech former pornographic actress and one of the most popular European stars ever to do porn. In 1996, she was Penthouse Pet of the Year in the Czech edition of the magazine. She has appeared in over 400 pornographic movies. Her first movie was shot in Prague for Private Media and was a great success co-starring with Bradley Raby. From there, she moved across the Atlantic where she has spent over three years on U.S. soil. Much of her work includes anal sex and she is noted for her performance of oral sex, lesbian-themed films and double penetration scenes. On March 19, 2001, she officially announced that she was leaving the porn industry after ending an abusive off-screen relationship with a fellow porn movie star and moved to Prague, Czech Republic. However she still performed in many girl-girl scenes after 2001. Saint has insisted she is strictly gay for pay and straight in her personal life. But in later interviews, she said it would be fair to call her bisexual since she has had sex with so many women on film. "I have bedded more women than most men have in their lives, so how can I call myself straight?" During 2001, she ventured into the antiques business with the aforementioned businessman fiancé. Saint aided him when able, but eventually left the business venture.
