Birth Name: Annette Robinson

Alias(es): Nanette Heaven, Annette Funette, Cheryl Nelson
Annette Haven is considered a legend in the porn business and, ironically, something of a feminist. She worked when adult films were still shot on film and not videotape. Before entering adult films she had worked in a variety of fields: nurse's aide, exotic dancer, massage parlor employee in the San Francisco area. She worked on her first adult film in the mid-1970s. Her regal (and somewhat aloof) bearing got her often cast as an angelic-looking virgin or femme fatale.

Annette Haven (born December 1, 1954) (also known as Annette Robinson) was a American pornographic actress in the 1970s and '80s and one of the first superstars of X-rated entertainment.

Before her success in porn, Haven worked as a nurse's aide, exotic dancer at the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, and massage parlor girl in the San Francisco area.

Haven's first film was in the mid-1970s. Most often she was cast as a virgin or femme fatale. Haven's erotic hardcore debut was in Alex De Renzy's 1973 feature Lady Freaks. In 1977, Haven received an adult film best actress award for A Coming of Angels from the Adult Film Association of America.

Haven was known as a true professional and a class act in the industry. She performed with the most well endowed of all male actors, John Holmes, with aplomb and gusto. She was selective about films she acted in, and the other performers she worked with. She refused to do scenes that included bondage, violence, or "facials." Her notable work includes XRCO Hall of Fame film of Desires Within Young Girls and Sex World; other notable roles include Barbara Broadcast, V-the Hot One, and A Thousand and One Erotic Nights. Haven was elected to the XRCO's Performer Hall of Fame and to the AVN´s Hall of Fame.

Haven had a mainstream acting role in Blake Edwards' 10 as one of the porn actresses living up the hill. She was considered to play the lead female role, which eventually went to Melanie Griffith, for Body Double and became one of the consultants for the film. Haven turned down a part in The Howling because of its excessive violence.

Haven retired from erotic films in the late 1980s, although she reappeared in the mid-1990s to star in a couple of fetish videos with her frequent '70s costar, Jamie Gillis, and dominatrix Kim Wylde. She reportedly lives in Mill Valley, California (in Marin County) with her husband.
