Whether in front of the camera or behind it, Candice Vadala understood herself as both an artist and an entrepreneur. As Candida Royalle (1950-2015)-underground actress, porn star, producer of adult movies, and staunch feminist-she made a business of pleasure. She helped crystalize the broader hedonistic turn in American life in the second half of the twentieth century: a period when the rules of sex were rewritten when the white-hot "sex wars" cleaved feminism and realigned American politics when Big Freud, Big Drugs, and Big Porn all came into looming focus when the sex industry of the 1970s and '80s radically upended conventional understandings of law, technology, culture, love, and human desire.
