Audie England in The Delta of Venus (1995) and the rest of her career

On Shatmas Day, we discussed Free Enterprise, a Shatner performance in which he good-naturedly portrayed himself, complete with all the worst flaws his critics have ever alleged. The leading lady of that film was Audie England, who had been one of the top performers in the soft-core erotica of the mid-1990s.

In 1992, Audie had a small role in the first season of Red Shoe Diaries, playing a diner waitress who brought Duchovny his coffee. The show’s creator and creative force, Zalman King, must have seen something in her. Perhaps it was her totally natural look and line delivery, or perhaps her whispery, child-like voice. Perhaps it was the possibility that her shy, awkward demeanor might hide an unsuspected sexual fire. I don’t think we’ll ever know what special quality he spied, but he decided to give her a solid supporting role in the early part of season two. He obviously liked what he saw, because he then gave her three major leads in the subsequent three years of the series, the kind of roles where she was the only naked woman, and occupied the center of the story. He also gave her the lead in his feature film, Delta of Venus, based on the erotic diaries of Anais Nin.

Audie did some more erotic roles in 1996, then picked up some more mainstream roles, but cut back her workload until she abandoned the biz altogether. She moved away from acting in 2000 to focus on photography and family. She graduated from UCLA, later operating a photography business in Los Angeles, marrying producer Peter M. Lenkov, and raising four children. She never returned to professional showbiz.

Audie was born in 1967, although later birthdates have circulated.

NOTES:

I just watched the following shows where Audie was NOT naked

1. Red Shoe Diaries, s1e8 – (1992) she had a walk-on as a diner waitress, maybe two or three lines.
2. Red Shoe Diaries, s5e6 (1996) – IMDb says she had an uncredited cameo. I could not find her.
3. Shame, Shame, Shame (1999) – Audie plays a seductress who tried to talk another women, then a couple, into some swinging. She was as sexy as can be, but never got naked, even though the role seemed to demand it!
