About Sunrise Adams
Sunrise Adams is an American performer from Como-Pickton, Texas, born September 14, 1982, and the niece of adult actress Sunset Thomas. She worked from 2001 to 2008, spent the core of those years under contract to Vivid, and is now retired. Profiles also list her as Sunrise, Sunny, Louisa or Sunrise Thomas.
Career
Her aunt helped once it was clear she was going anyway, picking a stage name to match her own and telling her to go blonde. The first credit was More Dirty Debutantes 186 with Ed Powers in January 2001, a shoot she later said she'd rather forget.
Her first scene with a woman came that year, opposite Cherry Rain in Cockless 3. A rough anal scene in Initiations 8 left her injured, and she dropped anal from her work after it.
Vivid had already offered her an exclusive deal, and she said no. Steve Hirsch kept at it and caught her at a gas station on the way to closing on her first house. The two-year contract got signed on the hood of her car in August 2002. Eight movies a year. That September she had breast implants, over objections from Vivid's people.
Vivid cast her in Debbie Does Dallas: The Revenge, partly for the Texas background and the football, though she had never liked cheerleaders and found the part hard. Her credits elsewhere include VCA, Hustler Video, Wicked Pictures, Digital Playground, Elegant Angel, New Sensations, Jill Kelly Productions and Adam & Eve. She quit in 2008, when the Vivid contract ran out and replacing that money would have meant working twice as hard.
Style on screen
Boy/girl work covered blowjob, vaginal and interracial scenes, with anal only in the early run. On the lesbian side Babepedia lists oral, fingering, toys and tribadism. She stood 5'7" (170 cm) with blue eyes and hair dyed for the blondes look her aunt suggested. Tattoos on the lower back, right bicep, neck and left foot. Navel and tongue piercings.
Off-screen
She grew up somewhere small enough to have one TV channel and no phone line. In high school she played basketball and soccer and kicked for the varsity football team. At 18 she was working at a Sonic Drive-In. In August 2004 she went on The O'Reilly Factor with Savanna Samson to promote their book, How to Have a XXX Sex Life.
