Houston, born Kimberly Halsey on March 24, 1969, in Long Beach, California, was raised in Norway after moving there in childhood. Growing up in a middle-class family, she returned to the U.S. and worked as an oil-wrestling performer at the Tropicana Club in Hollywood, where a porn producer noticed her resemblance to actress Bo Derek, per IMDb and Wikipedia. She entered the adult film industry in 1995 at age 27, later than many peers, using the stage name Houston since it was her favorite city to dance in. She appeared in over 200 films, working with studios like Metro, Vivid, and Brazzers. Notable films include The World’s Biggest Gangbang 3: The Houston 620 (1999), where she reportedly had sex with over 620 men in eight hours, setting a record, Porn Star (2000), and Sex Games (2012, her comeback scene with Keiran Lee), per Wikipedia and Alchetron. Her performances, including anal and group scenes, were known for their boldness, though she expressed discomfort with anal sex in a 1996 HEVG interview, stating, “It felt horrible. I can’t believe people do that,” per IMDb. Houston collaborated with performers like Nikki Sinn, Keiran Lee, and Ron Jeremy. She appeared in mainstream media, including VH-1’s Porn to Rock documentary (2000), chronicling adult stars’ crossover attempts, and music videos for Kottonmouth Kings (“Bump”) and Sum 41 (“The Hell Song”), per Wikipedia. She was a body double for Pamela Anderson and modeled for adult magazines.
