Nikki Tyler is one of the true porn success stories of the 90s -- someone who found herself a major star almost instantly upon entering the scene. The reason is clear: Nikki Tyler is absolutely gorgeous, a dream vision of the ideal California girl. Shes got a hard, lean body with (initially) perfectly proportioned breasts, a knockout behind and a cover-girl face. Nikkis got the nasty glint in her eye of a born porn queen, but thats certainly not what she ever thought shed end up being. Nikki caught the acting bug while in high school, and she starred in numerous musical performances before moving on to more serious pursuits. She moved to Los Angeles to go to college and started appearing in nude photo shoots to pay her way through school -- she was studying to be a clinical psychologist. Her beauty won her lots of work and she quickly became one of the top nude models in the country, with layouts in over 100 top mens mags, including Penthouse. Nikki dropped out of college, attended makeup school and landed a job doing makeup for Vivid Video. She worked there for a year and a half before prodding from stars like Celeste and Ashlyn Gere convinced her that she should try her luck at hardcore. Her first on-screen girl/girl scene was in American Pie, and she followed that up with a searing tryst with close friend Jenna Jameson in VR69. Nikki decided to become a full-bore porn queen and was rewarded with her own exclusive Vivid contract after just those two films. Check her out with Rocco Siffredi in Nikki Loves Rocco for a high-voltage example. After Vivid, Nikki signed a contract with Metro Video for one year. Nikki is one of the hottest in the biz, but she left the scene after only about 30 features in 1997. Her widespread fan base was left with only their videos to remember her by. But now Nikki has returned and looks more amazing than ever.
