Beautiful and capable adult-film actress Abigail Clayton was born in New York City. Her father was a doctor. She gave an impressive lead performance in her film debut as the eager innocent adolescent who experiences a sexual awakening in the excellent and highly erotic teen coming-of-age feature Dixie (1976). A youthful-looking brunette with small but sweet and perky breasts, lovely big eyes, a large, yet luscious frame, auburn hair, silky skin and a slight (and incredibly sexy) overbite, Abigail was one of the most appealing and attractive female stars of the Golden Age of Porn. Her lusty and steamy contributions to such classic pictures as Naked Afternoon (1976), Desires Within Young Girls (1977), 7 Into Snowy (1978) and SexWorld (1978) were always quite arousing and enjoyable. Moreover, she also appeared in a few “mainstream” movies: she starred alongside Gérard Depardieu in Rêve de singe (1978), was especially memorable as a hapless model who gets brutally murdered by vicious psychotic Joe Spinell in the notorious horror slasher cult favorite Maniac (1980) and had a small part as a nun in the comedy Les fesses à l’air (1981). Abigail quit appearing in hardcore films in 1980. She was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2008.
