“COVID was bad… but it gave me a break; before COVID I was shooting and I was doing feature dancing every week and I didn’t have any time to take for myself,” she tells Lisa Ann. “I learned a lot of skills, I have my men’s clothing line, I learned designing and I learned real estate, I learned the stock market… I was like a sponge during COVID! I realized I am capable of doing other things.”
Starfall, who grew up in Vietnam and no longer has a relationship with her family because of her career choices, admits that people’s preconceived notions of ‘adult entertainers’ is a persistent barrier in forging true bonds and connections with her.
“When people find out… that’s the only thing that they look at. They don’t see anything else you’re doing, they don’t see that you’re still the same person, you do other investments… they just see that you’re only a porn star. That bugs me… but now I’ve just come to peace with it. That’s their problem, it’s not mine. Some people understand and some people just don’t, and I think we have to accept people the way they are.”

The Good Girl-gone-Bad Girl story is as old as time, but adult film megastar Cindy Starfall’s jaw-dropping tale just might be one for the history books. The Vietnam native of Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese descent grew up isolated under strict parental rule, home school sessions and no social life. “It felt like living in a prison,” she recalls. Starfall got her first taste of freedom at 15 as a U.S. exchange student, but it was going away to University at 18 that changed her life forever: “I discovered SEX!”
Starfall entered the adult industry in 2012 and instinctively knew she had found her calling. “I’m a sexual person, and in Vietnam you are looked down if you express your sexuality in any way. Here in the U.S. I can express myself, embrace my body and power as a woman and be financially independent as well.” The star has since been nominated and awarded for her many achievements over the years from titans such as AVN, XBIZ, XRCO, NightMoves and Urban X, which inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 2020.
In addition to her onscreen talents, Starfall is also an entrepreneur who has launched a men’s T-shirt line, marketing agency and boasts an expanding real estate portfolio to ensure her future success outside of the industry. These days, her goals are a bit more personal: “I want to inspire and empower those with similar stories to find their bliss like I’ve found mine. I am so happy and grateful to have supportive fans, recognition from my professional peers and financial freedom doing something I truly love. After all, what is the point of this life if you aren’t enjoying it to the absolute fullest?”
