Acting
Viper
Stephanie Green, famously known as Viper, was an influential figure in the adult film industry, born on September 12, 1959, in Tennessee and raised in New Hampshire. With a striking full-body snake tattoo, she became a recognizable icon in her field. Viper co-founded Fans of X-Rated Entertainment alongside Bill Margold, a notable actor and director, and made a significant mark before her sudden exit from the industry in 1991.
Her journey began in the world of ballet, where she trained as a child, but in 1978, seeking new challenges, she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, eventually achieving the rank of corporal. After six years, she was discharged due to her relationships with superior officers, subsequently working in Baltimore as both a prostitute and nightclub entertainer.
In 1986, Viper relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in adult films. She quickly gained prominence, starring in over seventy hardcore films, and was recognized with the 1990 AVN Award for Best Supporting Actress.
However, in May 1991, Viper vanished from the public eye, returning to New Hampshire, and was never seen by Margold again. It was speculated that complications from recent breast implants may have contributed to her mental health struggles. Viper passed away from lung cancer on December 24, 2010. After leaving the industry, she reportedly worked as a hair stylist and phlebotomist.
