Ilona Staller Video Showcase

Ilona Staller (complete name Anna Ilona Staller or credited as originally named, Anna Elena Staller, 26 November 1951), also known by her stage name Cicciolina, is an Hungarian born Italian porn-star turned politician and the first hardcore performer in the world to be elected to a democratic parliament.

She was born in Budapest. Her stepfather was an official in the Ministry of the Interior, her mother a midwife. In 1964, she began working for the Hungarian modelling agency, M.T.I.

According to her memoirs, she lost her virginity at sixteen with a black university student. In her memoirs and in a 1999 TV interview, she claimed that she had provided Hungarian authorities with information on American diplomats staying at a Budapest luxury hotel where she worked as a maid in the late 1960s.

Naturalized by marriage and settled in Italy, she met pornographer Riccardo Schicchi in early 1970s and beginning in 1973, achieved fame with a radio show called "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" (French for "Do You Want to Sleep with Me?") on Radio Luna. For that programme, she adopted the name "La Cicciolina". (She then moved to other variants, calling her fans "Cicciolini", her teddybear "Cicciolino," etc.).

Although she appeared in several films from 1970, she made her debut under her own name in 1975 with La liceale (U.S. title: The Teasers) playing Monica, a lesbian classmate of Gloria Guida.

In 1978, on the RAI show "C'era due Volte" her breasts were the first to be seen bared on Italian TV. Read more at: Wikipedia - Ilona Staller
