Here we look at 2 of the trailblazers of British porn, who paved the way for all who came later.
Mary Millington
Known as 'Sweet Mary', Mary Millington has been recognised as one of the UK's very first X-rated film stars. There is even a blue plaque for her in Soho! Mary's most famous soft porn film, Come Play With Me, played continuously for four years in old Moulin Cinema in London's Soho. Described as one of the 'hottest British sex film stars of the seventies', Mary began her porn career to pay for her mother's care after initially becoming a glamour model in the late 1960s, and from there found herself gradually moving into hardcore porn. She once famously said: 'I treat sex as something to be enjoyed, something to be savoured, something to cling to, something to be indulged in whenever possible. The old slogan of "Make Love Not War" was a very good one.' In 1977 her small role in Sullivan's Come Play With Me made her a household name, as did the publicity campaign for the film during which Mary famously posed alongside a police officer outside 10 Downing Street and unexpectedly flashed her breasts for the cameras. However Mary's life ended suddenly and tragically in August 1979 when she took her own life at the age of just 33. She was buried beside her mother at St Mary Magdalene Church yard in South Holmwood on August 24, 1979. Speaking about Mary's life, Dorking historian Kathy Atherton said: "[She was] a very sad character really but she had a huge fan base - and still does. "At the graveyard they often still get visitors and flowers on her grave, even though it is small and unobtrusive. A documentary called Respectable - The Mary Millington Story, which follows the porn star and model's life was made in 2016.

Fiona Richmond
The other star of the 70’s was Fiona Richmond. She became a British sex symbol in the 1970s for her appearances in numerous risqué plays, comedy revues, magazines and films. She has been described as one of the "two hottest British sex film stars of the seventies", alongside Mary Millington. If Mary Millington is synonymous for her work with Porn Baron David Sullivan than Fiona Richmond will forever be associated with the King of Soho Paul Raymond. Fiona is the daughter of an English Vicar and is very spoken, Unlike Mary, Fiona retired from the business in her early 30’s and went onto manage and own a hotel in the Caribbean. Fiona Richmond met the British strip-club owner and publisher Paul Raymond in 1970 when she auditioned for a part in the nude farce Pyjama Tops at the Whitehall Theatre in London. She was awarded the part and went on to star at the Raymond Revuebar strip club, appear in nude photo shoots and work as an adult entertainment journalist, writing articles about sex for the UK’s top shelf magazines. In 1970 she was the subject of a TV documentary The Actress Said. Her column in Raymond's Men Only magazine, in which she described her supposed sexual adventures with men and women around the world, brought her even more fame. She made her film debut (billed under the name Amber Harrison) in Not Tonight, Darling (1971), which led to larger roles in X-rated movies such as the psychological thriller Exposé (1976). Others included Hardcore (1977) – also titled Frankly Fiona – a sex comedy in which she played herself, partially based on an autobiography she had written, and Let's Get Laid (1977), a mistaken-identity comedy that had no connection to the stage show of the same name. She also appeared in Raymond's Electric Blue video series, hosting the first of them in 1979. Her later roles included the Queen of France in the Mel Brooks comedy History of the World, Part I (1981), an appearance in an episode of the TV comedy series The Comic Strip Presents... in 1983, and the role of Fiona the KGB agent in the all-star black comedy Eat The Rich (1987). She also recorded the spoken word album Frankly Fiona in 1973, in collaboration with Anthony Newley, adding erotic talk to Newley's songs. Richmond has published many fictional and autobiographical books based on her sexual experiences, including Fiona (1976), Story of I (1978), On the Road by Fiona (1979), Galactic Girl (1980), Remember Paris (1980), The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful (1980), From Here to Virginity (1981), In Depth (1982) and Tell Tale Tits (1987). Her last showbusiness appearances in were in the 1990s, including guest spots on James Randi: Psychic Investigator (1991), The Truth About Women (1992), and as an uncredited extra in The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous (1997) In the 2013 feature film the look of love Richmond was played by Tamsin Egerton whilst Paul Raymond was played by Steve Coogan. Fiona had scathing words to say about the film as it portrayed the era as sleazy.
