Veteran Brittany O'Connell has learned to do things her way.

Born 12/6/72, the petite redhead boasts a great smile "and the kind of looks that one wouldn't expect from one of the greediest cock takers throwing it down in the dirty movies. Brittany's best sex on screen comes in Alex deRenzy's Slave to Love. She easily handles the long lumber of Randy Spears and Sean Michaels... One of her most adorable traits is how demurely she takes a thick tool in her little tush. In the past year she has enlarged her breasts and increased her credits to 200 titles." (Jeremy Stone)

"I have built a reputation as a nasty little bitch who swallows cum and takes it in every hole she can," writes O'Connell on her internet site (http://www.brittanyoconnell.com) "while all the time looking like a prim and proper college student."

The sweet petite, who appears in such flicks as Wild Breed and Hooker, divorced her husband John, ten years her senior, in 1996.

They met on a college field trip to an Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona and soon moved in together. In addition to attending college, they both worked. John toiled at an auto parts store and Brittany worked as a cashier at that repository of American values - Wallmart.

Partly because of their poverty, Brittany wanted to become a stripper. John initially opposed the move because he thought it'd hurt their relationship. He'd married a stripper when he was 19 and the relationship ended quickly in divorce.

O'Connell eventually got her way and she danced at the prestigious Robin Seven Seas Club in Phoenix, Arizona. The club enforced strict rules against fraternizing between patrons and dancers, and John and Brittany experienced no problems in their relationship due to her new job.

The club showed pornos on closed circuit TV and Brittany decided she wanted to star in them. The couple visited Chuck Traynor, the former manager and husband of porn stars Linda Lovelace and Marilyn Chambers, at his gun store in La Vegas. Expecting a fee in return which he didn't receive, Traynor referred them to talent agent Jim South in the San Fernando Valley.

With $120 in their pocket, John and Brittany moved to LA and on their first day Brittany found work. She sports the innocent girlish look porn fans love. The first time he met her, HEVG's Captain Sid expected Brittany to proposition him with Girl Scout cookies.

The 19-year old redhead was so nervous her first time on - Constant Cravings by Jim Enright - that people on the set took bets on when she'd throw up. It didn't happen. Instead, she got a big role in her third movie - Seka's comeback vehicle American Garter.

A couple of weeks later, Brittany performed double penetration for the first time in her life in Gregory Dark's New Wave Hookers 3.

"Girls [in porn] get the respect and understanding they deserve from fans," says O'Connell. "It's a boost to realize that your work is noticed. You feel appreciated and put on a pedestal."

Brittany recommends her fans watch her in Sodomania and Sodomania 4 "because it's such a stretch from my personality. I'm not a dominant person in real life. I'm sweet and easygoing."

Shy, Brittany has no close friends in the industry aside from her pretty boyfriend Rick O'Shea.

"Society says girls enter this industry because they have problems, that they don't like what they do, that they don't have any intelligence. It's not true. I graduated high school at age 17. I've been through two years of college. My major was Astrophysics. I simply enjoy porn."

Most of all, she enjoys the attention and the money. Coming from a strict upbringing, Brittany glories in her freedom.

"She was shy when I first met her," says her ex-husband John. "She hadn't done much. She started to like getting attention for her looks and so she began dressing differently. This snowballed until she went all out for attention by getting into pornos."

John woke up one morning to find, Oh My God, I Married An Anal Queen. "Newlywed Buck Adams comes home to find his house being used for a porn shoot and his bride (Brittany O'Connell) about to be anally plundered. Buck carries Brittany over the threshhold and lays her down on the carpet in the foyer. Brittany gets Buck-f---ed in every position. Buck gives her the anal pleasure she craves and comes on her pink tongue..." (AFW 97)

Though marrying an anal queen can be hard on the psyche, it's good for the pocketbook. John and Brittany spent their newfound wealth on drugs such as speed, cars, watches and other toys.

Though they had an open relationship, John wanted to know who Brittany slept with off the set. He claims that she slept with numerous men without telling him.

The breaking point in their relationship, says John, came in June 1995 when he found a Satanic Bible on his desk. He claims Brittany began living with a "Satanic cult" called the Vampire Crew. Out of Huntington Beach, they once owned a stripper agency Caliber that was shut down by the law on charges of prostitution. Britt's main man of the moment - B-grade porn stud Rick O'Shea, supposedly heads this "Satanic cult."

Brittany laughs at John's charges. "I don't run with a satanic cult and never left a Satanic Bible or any kind on his desk," she told the magazine Sexpose.

Scared by his wife's "satanism" and drug problems, John called Brittany's parents in Arizona to give them the news that their youngest daughter worked hardcore.

"I'm ashamed that I called them," says John. "But I feared that Brittany was losing her mind."

But for the next three weeks, it was Brittany's parents who struggled to retain sanity, says John, so devastated were they by the news. Secular liberals who dabble in the pagan New Age movement, Britt's parents had been out of touch with their daughter for years.

After trying for three weeks to reach O'Connell's parents, John and Brittany prepared to fly back to Arizona to see them. But on the day before they were scheduled to leave, Brittany's parents answered the phone for the first time in weeks and the four of them talked for hours.

"I was brought up in a strict household," says Brittany. "in the sense that my parents wanted me to go on to college and get my Ph.D. in physics. I graduated high school two years early and went straight into college. It broke my parents' hearts that I couldn't go to school anymore."

Brittany says her parents were not devastated by the news of her porn career. "They thought John was upset about it because he was losing his meal ticket. John was born a fundamentalist Baptist, so he had a hard time accepting the new age movement...

"My parents have an open mind when it comes to sex. They don't mind watching it, but I didn't think they could handle knowing their youngest daughter was doing it. Right now, my relationship with my parents is very good. They came out and spent Christmas with me.

"One reason I lost contact with them for a while was that I was going through problems with John and I didn't want them involved in that. They were upset about my marriage to John, because I married so young, and after the divorce, I found they didn't like him anyway." (Sexpose 6/97)

After the drama over the phone with her parents, Brittany, who'd earned most of the couple's income for years, decided in June 1995 to file for divorce. John reacted initially with defiance, which soon turned into depression. For six weeks he sat alone in the house doing speed, calling Brittany constantly and "driving her crazy."

John eventually ran out of money in August 1995, quit drugs, and lived out of his truck. He worked in Florida for a few weeks, got laid off, and returned to LA. Jay Ashley, the husband of porn star Kaitlyn Ashley, rescued John and allowed him for weeks to stay rent-free in the Ashley guest house.

John resumed work behind the scenes in adult productions, paid rent and ran Kaitlyn's fan club, just as he once did for his wife. He stayed in the sex business despite it destroying two of his marriages and almost his life.

Brittany's ex-husband felt better about himself now that he earned his own way. "I didn't enjoy being called a pimp or a leach boyfriend," said John in the summer of 1996, the last time we spoke. He said he'd been drug free for six months.

"I don't support wife-beating, but I do understand it.

"Brittany O'Connell is not the girl I married. She was a smart kid. We had good conversations.

"During her journey into porn she became more cynical, more into satanism. She wore a Pentagram around her neck."

Brittany brought police one summer night, 1996, to Jay and Kaitlyn Ashley's home, where John lived in the guesthouse, so she could repossess the pick-up John drove.

The cops pulled guns on John and created a ruckus in the neighborhood. Infuriated, John determined to drive a hard bargain with Brittany over their divorce settlement.

In late summer 1996, police arrested John for outstanding warrants back in Ohio and he languishes in jail.

To balance out her large hips, Brittany got a moderate breast enhancement in 1996. She also began producing and selling her own videos through her fan club.

RAME critic Roger T. Pipe adores Brittany O'Connell and solo masturbation videos. Put the two together - Candle Wax Solo - and Rog waxes poetic. "The redheaded fireball walks into her bedroom and begins to strip. She takes her time, grinding her hips to the music, giving just a peek at her covered breasts... This slow approach gives us plenty of time to ogle her... The bend over shot as she finally pulls down her skirt is pure brilliance.

"Horny Brittany plays with her pussy...letting her fingers explore every inch of inner folds before she turns over to give us a great shot of her perfect backside... Brittany breaks out a burning candle and drips hot wax all over her tits and down to her pussy. For her grand finale, Ms. O'Connell grabs a lit candle and gives it a good suck before using it as a substitute cock. As they say, 'fight fire with fire'."

Tired of others profiting from her hard work, O'Connell runs her own internet site. "After a rocky divorce and a year on the road dancing," writes Brittany on her web site, "I needed a break… I decided to make the best fan club… I wrote "Fanzine" which contains photos and stories about my current events… It was a hit… In January 1995 I began to produce direct solo videos of myself… shooting some of the taboo stuff the bigger companies wouldn't… Cum along with me for a ride into my sexual and perverted mind!"

<BrittanyOConnell> Rick has been a fan of mine for years

<Jim_Gunn> Where did the idea that you are a Satanist start anyway Britt?

<BrittanyOConnell> Rick sends me at least 10 emails a week on whatever discussion he's on at the moment and I don't always have time to answer his email cause I'm busy running a company and handling customer service as well

<BrittanyOConnell> the whole Satanism thing came from an interview that Luke F-rd did with my Ex-Husband during our divorce

<BrittanyOConnell> while my Ex was admittedly on drugs and bitter about the divorce!

<PipeIn2004> I gave Luke some advice on that interview.....

<l-keford> BOC, you don't find rick amusing?

<BrittanyOConnell> Why blujaye? He would just run like a big pussy

<BrittanyOConnell> He really stepped on it this time. I shouldn't have to chase him ! He should stand there and take it like a man!

<blujaye> you could hogtie Luke and pull down his pants right there in Beverly Hills for everyone and Larry Flynt to see :)

<BrittanyOConnell> Why blujaye ? so his buttplug falls out in public?

<blujaye> *Larry sitting up in his penthouse suite, puts down his binoculars "hey Jimmy, get a load of this"* :)

<RogTPipe> lesbian sex is soooooo boring

<Jim_Gunn> Rog I love ya, but you are developing as many idiosyncracies as a reviewer as Riley has- e.g., Felecia is unattractive; Jill Kelly and Sydnee Steele were born men; lesbian movies are usually lame strictly because they lack dick in them; anyone who likes to watch teen girls is a pedophle, etc.

<BrittanyOConnell> Thanks Mike...you missed the s--- storm earlier with Luke (The Chicken) Ford

<BrittanyOConnell> it was great talking to you too

<VideoEd> luke hasnt exactly been standing up for himself against BOC tonight

<Trey_Hunter> luke doesnt stand up to anyone, he's a pussy

<BrittanyOConnell> that is because he is wrong and someone called him on it in public...he cant hid from me

<BrittanyOConnell> I'm going to f--- with him every chance I get

<BrittanyOConnell> He is not going to pick on me

<Trey_Hunter> hehe you can f--- me

<Trey_Hunter> i'll let ya

<BrittanyOConnell> I don't think you want me to f--- you the way Luke is going to get f---ed with Trey

<BrittanyOConnell> I"m very sweet but I'm soooooo tired of having B.S. posted about me or people (luke) trying to electonically black mail me into an interview
