Pleasure Productions contract star Nikki Benz visited a fan who is in the hospital in Rochester, N.Y. last week after hearing about his condition while appearing on a morning radio show.
Benz, who was in town to kick off her summer store signing tour, went on the 96 WCMF, the No. 1 rated morning show in the area, with host Brother Wease on June 16. Benz promoted her recent Pleasure releases Get Lucky, Twisted Tales and Desperate Desires.
"I had fun doing the radio show," Benz, who lives in Toronto and travels to Los Angeles to shoot movies, said. "There I found out about a very special fan of mine."

Brother Wease told Nikki that he had a friend who was confined to a wheelchair that lived in a local hospital. The 19-year-old fan apparently got a few of Benz's movies a few weeks ago and loved them.
"When Brother Wease asked me to go and give my special fan a surprise visit at the hospital I was more than pleased to do it," Benz said.
After the radio show, Nikki went to the hospital and surprised her fan with some signed posters.
"He was so happy, and it made me happy to see a smile on his face," Benz said. "I was glad to see that I made someone's day better".
Later that day, Benz appeared at Lyell Video from noon to 5 p.m.
"The turnout was amazing," Lyell Video owner Bill said. "Fans just kept lining up to get a signed poster, a Polaroid or to buy Nikki's movies. In fact we sold out of Nikki's DVDs."
"I didn't realize I had so many fans in Rochester," Benz said.
Benz's next stops are in Harrisburg, Pa., and Orrtanna in July.
