Clyda Rosen

Clyda is a favourite model/porn actress from the 1970s and has a genuine reason for being on the pages of this blog. Israeli born Clyda real name Vietta Taff, was apparently discovered in the early seventies by Harrison Marks, although I’ve found no proof he discovered her! He used her both as a glamour model in his photography and as an actress in his glamour films, which at the time were being filmed in both hard and soft core versions.

Some films Marks made with Rosen include Autograph Hunter, in which Clyda plays a groupie who breaks into the home of rock star Randy Tool. Dolly Mixture, which she made in 1972/73 under the name Vietta Manning. Probably the most famous of the Marks/Rosen 8 mm films was Die Lollos (Unaccustomed As I Am) in which Clyda attempts to smuggle pornography through British customs. Die Lollos was also filmed in a black and white soft core version called Unaccustomed as I Am, still starring Clyda, but with several actors and some subtle changes to the story. In the softcore version, Clyda is stopped and strip searched by a male customs officer, but in the hardcore version the customs officer is female, who gives Clyda a thorough strip search and examination!

Clyda, who was renowned for her big tits and very hairy pussy, continued performing into the 1990s, starring in various porn films under the name Vietta Manning. Nothing was left to the imagination with Clyda especially in her later photography and films. I prefer her earlier Marks work, of which I have copies of both version of Die Lollos, along with a copy of Autograph Hunter, which I will try to post at some point if there is a demand.

For now, a couple of tame early photos of Clyda showing off the assets she became famous for :)
