An early big breasted star, Vivid contract player, and AIDS fatality, Lisa DeLeeuw (Lisa Trego) performed in numerous adult films from 1978 to 1987.

Born 2-12-58, she found her introduction to porn unarousing.

Lisa's boyfriend ran an X-rated movie theater in Iowa. "I wandered in one day to see what a porn film looked like and practically fell asleep in five minutes."

DeLeeuw entered porn a month after moving to Los Angeles despite being fifty pounds overweight. "Svetlana took me under wing and put me on a strict diet - no food, just vitamins."

Lisa made her film debut in 800 Fantasy Lane. "Things got tense running around San Francisco at three AM looking for hotel rooms [to shoot in].

Pro-Ball Cheerleaders was the first film Lisa enjoyed making even though she caught pnuemonia from balling for three hours in a rain-soaked field in the middle of the night.

"After that, everyone decided that they liked me wet. They kept putting me in these water scenes."

All the women in Cheerleaders look overweight. Candida Royalle, Lisa DeLeeuw, Suzanne Nero and Debbie Evans appear about 140 pounds. They cheer for a team called the Cactus, owned by Mr. Prissy Pringle. Along with Aunt Frieda (Jennifer West), he believes that sex causes cancer and the team shouldn't get off during the season. Too Long (Johnny Keyes) bets against the team and tries to get the cheerleaders, the Prickettes, to seduce the new player.

"All of this is combined into much silliness with a locker and shower scene that is funnier than Debbie Does Dallas. It also includes Candida giving head to a dildo strapped on to Aunt Frieda, who is afraid of men but has an orgasm anyway… cheerleaders reviving injured players you know how and an extended scene of sex in the rain and mud, all tied together because "it's against the rules for a Prickette to grab a member of the team by his member."" (Guide p. 257)

DeLeeuw starred in 1981's Eight to Four. Robert Rimmer writes: "The interesting (and sad) thing about this film is that if you pinpoint 1970 as the breakthrough year for explicit sex films, 11 years later it still incorporates all the old adult film conventions: seven women having sex in one film, practically all of them wearing garter belts; at least a dozen cum shots; two extended lesbian scenes, and extended fellatio by women who can't live without it. Obviously, creative breakthroughs by producers and directors who can integrate sex and story for more mature audiences than the raincoat crowd are hard to come by." (The X-Rated Videotape Guide, p. 279)

The story is patterned after Nine to Five. Annette Haven as Lisa plays the Jane Fonda role, and she eventually "gets" Mr Jarvis, the office manager, who is a prick, as well as Miss Patrick (Juliet Anderson), one of the top officials of the company. She hires men based on their G.Q. - genital qualifications - and then in her lush office performs acrobatic sex.

Veronica Hart, Veronica Hart and Lois Sanders (who Xeroxes a guy's cock in the copy room) portray voracious women who devour all men who come their way.

Lisa's hardest adjustment to porn came from understanding the directions she received on the set.

"I'd only started giving head a year before, so how was I to know that lip service was required when they would bark, "Get the guy up!"

"Learning how to use garter belts was a treat. I know even experienced performers who still occasionally will put the panties on under the garter belt, which makes for a good deal of unintentional comedy when you're trying to remove them on camera."

Lisa didn't like memorizing her lines. "Having a short attention span, once I memorize a line, I find myself bored so fast that I don't care how it sounds. So I keep the basic content in mind and throw in some ad libs as I feel like it." (AFW)

Lisa said her fantasies change every day. "My perfect porn film would probably deal with watching someone else have sex. There's always been a special mystique about watching someone without their knowledge, or of not knowing that you are being watched. Me, for example, lying in bed masturbating, with the whole house empty - I think. But I hear the neighbors outside and I have windows on three sides of the bedroom, so there's always the chance someone will come peeking in.... Or how about going to a party and walking in on something going on upstairs? Hiding and watching - I can go either way." (AFW)

Lisa DeLeeuw starred in such a movie - I Like To Watch. The action takes place at the home of Leticia (Patricia Manning) who designs lingerie.

It's often said that a porno plot usually consists of a plumber knocking at the door and announcing that he wants to f---. But in this movie, Little Oral Annie tells the plumber (Kevin James) that she wants to f---. Annie deep throats every inch of his long cock, then takes him up the ass before finishing him off orally sans washing. He comes all over Annie's face while she shakes in pleasure.

Because maid DeAnne Pierce watched the whole time, Annie punishes her by strapping on a dildo and f---ing her.

Bridgitte Monet opens the film watching with tears in her eyes Leticia f---. Unfortunately for Bridgette, her boyfriend doesn't like sex. So Lisa DeLeeuw rescues her by inviting her over and seducing her. Lisa's boyfriend Dave Cannon watches Lisa and Bridgitte suck each other before joining in the fun.

DeLeeuw: "What is acting and directing if not channeling voyeuristic and exhibitionist behavior? I enjoy observing. I even spy on myself driving a car, lighting a cigarette, to pick up mannerisms I can use later. People are always starring in the movies of their minds: "Is my dress straight? Do I look good from this angle? Suck in the tummy, stick out the chest!" What I do is only an extension of that.

"The straight films I've done tend to be a pain, rather than a pleasure. They have more time and a bigger budget to dawdle around, and I like to move.

"I confess that I'm baffled by the ratings system. Dragonslayer depicted baby-eating and it was rated PG. Rape, maiming, killing are only rated R, but sex...

"I saw all these previews for the reissue of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on prime-time TV. Usually followed by the news with a big headline: Porno Bust! They can't decide which is more obscene - death or sex?" (AFW)

With Lisa's sexual intensity and strong brassy personality, she seemed like porn's version of Mae West. One of her finest and final performances came in the classic Ten Little Maidens.

Lisa (Trego) DeLeeuw died of AIDS at age 35 on 11-11-93.
