Although her name may evoke images of the dusty Texas plains, porn star Houston was actually born in Long Beach, California, and raised in Norway. She was working as an oil-wrestling girl at the famous Tropicana Club in Hollywood when a porn producer attending a show noticed her close resemblance to actress Bo Derek and approached her. Although she had done some nude layouts and stripping, she had never done a porn before, and finally jumped into the business at the ripe age of 27--older than most porn actresses who just start out, but that apparently didn't make any difference to porn fans, as she has been one of the most popular adult-film performers in recent years.
