Birth name: Anna Ilona Staller

Ilona Staller (complete name Anna Ilona Staller or credited as originally named, Anna Elena Staller, 26 November 1951), also known by her stage name Cicciolina, is an Hungarian born Italian porn-star turned politician and the first hardcore performer in the world to be elected to a democratic parliament.

She was born in Budapest. Her stepfather was an official in the Ministry of the Interior, her mother a midwife. In 1964, she began working for the Hungarian modelling agency, M.T.I. According to her memoirs, she lost her virginity at sixteen with a black university student. In her memoirs and in a 1999 TV interview, she claimed that she had provided Hungarian authorities with information on American diplomats staying at a Budapest luxury hotel where she worked as a maid in the late 1960s.

Naturalized by marriage and settled in Italy, she met pornographer Riccardo Schicchi in early 1970s and beginning in 1973, achieved fame with a radio show called "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" (French for "Do You Want to Sleep with Me?") on Radio Luna. For that programme, she adopted the name "La Cicciolina". (She then moved to other variants, calling her fans "Cicciolini", her teddybear "Cicciolino," etc.). Although she appeared in several films from 1970, she made her debut under her own name in 1975 with La liceale (U.S. title: The Teasers) playing Monica, a lesbian classmate of Gloria Guida. In 1978, on the RAI show "C'era due Volte" her breasts were the first to be seen bared on Italian TV.

Her first film exclusively involving hardcore pornography was Il telefono rosso (produced by her and Schicchi's company Diva Futura) in 1983. In her films, she often appeared in group sex scenes with multiple male and female partners, often engaging in such activities such as anal sex, double penetration, watersports, with some limited scat. In her 1986 film Cicciolina Number One - Horsepower, her counterpart Denise Dior is seen performing fellatio on a horse, which led to the misconception that it was Staller who performed this sexual act. Although she claims in her memoirs that she had sex with a dog, she never engaged in zoosexual activity in her films.

Her memoirs were published as Confessioni erotiche di Cicciolina by the Olympia Press of Milan in 1987. The same year, she appeared in Carne bollente (aka. The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empress in the US) co-starring John Holmes. The film would later become a topic of debate when it was revealed that, apparently, Holmes had tested positive for HIV. 'Cicciolina' starred in her last porn film in 1992.

Staller married American sculptor Jeff Koons in 1991. Koons produced sculptures and paintings of the couple having sex, which were exhibited under the title "Made in Heaven". The marriage broke up in 1992, and their son Ludwig was born shortly afterwards. Staller left the US with the child, and a lengthy custody battle ensued. Koons won custody in 1998 but Ludwig remains with Staller in Italy.

In addition to posing for Jeff Koons, Staller has posed nude as a Playboy model in diffent countries' editions. Her first appearance in such a magazine was in Argentina in March of 1988; she posed again in this country in September of 1990. Other appearances for the magazine were in Hungary (June 01, 2005), Serbia (July 01, 2005) and in the September, 2005 issue of Mexican Playboy.

In 1994, she appeared in the cult film Replikator, and in 1996, she had a role in the acclaimed Brazilian telenovela Xica da Silva.

Around the year 2000 she had breast augmentation surgery. The difference can be seen in pictures for an exhibition dedicated to nature and the seasons that took place in Rome in 2006.
