YNOT – Vanessa del Rio, the voluptuous Afro-Latina vixen from the Golden Age of Porn, has added a share of the revenue produced by her new telephone hotline to the money she splits with affiliate partners.
Del Rio’s official website already pays affiliates a 40-percent recurring revshare through the Vanessa del Rio Dollars program administered by CCBill.
The new fan phone line, part of the Dial a Porn Star network, allows consumers to speak directly with del Rio at a fee of $3.99 per minute. Del Rio receives 70 percent of that revenue, and she’ll split her take 50/50 with those who promote the service. More information is available by email.
Del Rio, 59, skidded into adult entertainment sideways in 1974, when she was in her early 20s. The Harlem, NY, native said porn producers at the time “paid $150 a day, which was exactly my half of the rent.” Since then, she has appeared in more than 100 adult films and several mainstream music videos, all of which exhibited her trademark curves and sexual heat.
After a brief retirement from the industry in 1986, she returned to a semi-active role, performing in additional adult movies, maintaining her own website and appearing in person at awards shows and conventions. She also maintained a presence in mainstream television, appearing as herself in a number of popular shows, including a 1996 cameo in NYPD Blue.
