Desiree Cousteau

"One of the first double barreled blasts of passion and fun to grace the screen with dizzy delights was a saucer-eyed baby pout beauty named Desiree Cousteau. (AFW 1/87)

"On screen she was as beautiful of body as she was light of head. Her character in Pretty Peaches, a classic dingy bimbo, was close enough to the real Desiree that actress and role merged.

"She was every porn fan's dream: sweet cherubic face, tits, ass and legs all perfectly proportioned. She could have had the intellect of a fern and no one would have cared, because Desiree could - and would - do almost anything for the camera."

One scene for Pretty Peaches was so shocking that it had to be cut from the current versions of videotape - a spectacular enema scene where water sprays out of her anus across the room.

Cousteau (Deborah Clearbranch) entered porn reluctantly, and always had to battle her weight. Al Goldstein says she became mentally ill and had to be placed in an institution.

Other reports say that Deborah Clearbranch, who graduated from college in Savannah, Georgia in the late '80s with a degree in psychology, works in the field of mental health.

From Screw magazine June 1980 as reprinted in I, Goldstein: My Screwed Life:

Al: What else won't you do in f--- films?
Desiree: I don't know if I should say this...
Al: Say it!
Desiree: I don't do blacks. ...I did it for Swedish Erotica. I worked with Johnny Keyes. That kind of cured me of ever wanting to work with blacks again. ...I don't know what it was. I just started crying.
Al: What do you think about when you come?
Desiree: God... Sometimes when I'm making love I fantasize that it's an animal or a black guy -- something that I would not normally want to do. I get very turned on when I am embarrassed. Normally, I think of myself as a goddess on a pedastal, so I like to be brought down.
I quit for a year because I felt so guilty. I had a nervous breakdown.
