a.k.a. Kim Kataine, Kim Katane

A dreamy, smooth-skinned stunner with the undeniable appeal of the sexy young divorcee next door, Porn Star Kim Kitaine was been one of the most dependably torrid sexual performers of the 90's. Kim Kitaine was a blonde lust bunny whose delicious backside and nicely enhanced breasts gave her just the right look to get plenty of work in hardcore. Kim Kitaine's dazzling blue eyes and cute-as-a-button face completed the picture, making her one of the most naturally desirable ladies in 90's porn.

Born in 1970 as Kimberly Bailey, Kim Kitaine grew up in Pennsylvania. She lived in a strict household as a child, with a state trooper as a father. Kim Kitaine obviously chafed under such strictures, and she was dabbling in stripping soon after her eighteenth birthday. She moved to the big city, and by 1991 was dancing for dollars at New York's Show World club. It was while working at Show World that Kim Kitaine met porn starlet Lauren Brice. Lauren convinced her to come out west and try her hand at hardcore. From the moment Kim Kitaine's 34-25-32 figure strutted into L.A., Kim Kitaine was definitely in demand.

Kim Kitaine took her porno last name from B-movie staple Tawny Kitaine, and made her debut in 1991. Her first on-screen trysting can be found in 1991's 'Dial 666 For Lust,' where she takes on Ron Jeremy in a scorcher. After just a handful of flicks, Kim Kitaine then left the business for a couple years to concentrate on her personal life. She popped up in a few flicks in 1994, then took another year-long hiatus. Kim Kitaine returned to the fold in 1996 with a newly enhanced set of boobs and a determination to make it to the top of the industry. Over the next three years, Kim Kitaine set the industry on its ear with one blisteringly energetic romp after another.

Kim Kitaine's story came to a tragic end on April 1, 1999. She had been suffering from a seizure condition for some time, and had crashed her car into a ditch just weeks before during one episode. On April 1, Kim Kitaine was taking a shower when she had a severe seizure. She collapsed at the bottom of the stall, and the washcloth she was using clogged the drain, causing her to drown. Kim Kitaine is survived by long-time lover Nick East and a host of friends in and out of the industry. Kim Kitaine's untimely passing brought to a close one of the great hardcore careers of the 90's. Kim Kitaine was a sweet young woman whose confused personal life never slowed her down on screen. The industry is still reeling from the loss of one of its brightest lights.
