Sunset Thomas (born February 19, 1972) is an American pornographic actress. She was runner-up for Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1998 and is a member of the Adult Video News Hall of Fame.
Early life
Born in Sikeston, Missouri, Thomas moved around often in her youth with her family, living in various states including Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee. She spent her teenage years in Daytona Beach, Florida. Thomas was deeply affected by the departure of her father from her life, and she tried to fill the void left by her father by engaging in several high school activities, such as partying, and doing cocaine and methamphetamine (becoming addicted to the latter). After high school, she moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where she performed a variety of jobs, among them, modeling aside the championship trophy after the annual NASCAR race held there was over. In Ft. Lauderdale, she met aspiring porn actor Zachary Adams.[1].
Adult film career
Zach and Sunset became friends quickly, and their friendship soon turned into love. Five months later, they got married and moved to Los Angeles, where both of them would find porn film fame, using the last name Thomas. By this point she had broken her former addiction to methamphetamine. The Thomases at first made amateur films portraying themselves. But she soon became a professional porn star and a favorite of director Michael Ninn, winner of the most Adult Video News awards, who made her the star of his epics Latex, Shock, Sex, and Sex 2. Thomas had separated from her husband by the end of 2001 and, in 2002, established a friendship with talk-show host Howard Stern. That same year, she moved to Carson City, Nevada to begin offering her sex services for money at the famed Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel. She and Stern filmed the first of Stern's shows on February 21, 2002, and she has returned more than ten times since then. She was also featured on The O'Reilly Factor during that time. Sunset has been steadily dating Courtney Coopa (a female) since 2003. 2002 also saw Thomas speaking publicly about her sex life in an HBO documentary entitled Cathouse, and in 2003, she appeared in its sequel. She spoke about her specific sexual needs in a rather graphic and open way, stating that she needs sex constantly. In later episodes, we learn that she left the Bunny Ranch to go to the Kit Kat Ranch for a variety of reasons. In February 2005, she announced that she no longer will be working as a prostitute. She has since opened strip clubs in Nevada and Arizona. In 2005, Thomas was featured in the documentary Pornstar Pets and made an appearance on Maury, in which she encountered a crush from her middle school days. The episode was titled 'I Was An Ugly Teen... Now I'm Hot, Sexy and Lean!'. Thomas is the aunt of porn star Sunrise Adams, and during a visit by her niece convinced Adams to begin a career in adult films. In 2006, Thomas obtained her own show on http://www.ksexradio.com called "Sunset After Sunset" which airs every Thursday at 9:00pm (PST). In 2007, she appeared in Montel Williams Show with her fiancé/boyfriend, Kent, to discuss her porn career as a mother.
