Shyla Foxxx

Shayla Foxxx is of Puerto Rican descent. Raised in Chicago as the eldest child from a strict Catholic family.

After being caught doing phone sex at the age of 13 Shyla was sent to be raised by her grandparents until she returned to Chicago at 18. By then Shyla didn't waste any time and became a stripper as soon as she returned and worked as an escort, dancer and doing some photo layouts until she was 24 years old. That is when she moved to Hollywood and made her first porn - doing anal, double penetration and facials on her first film Gothic. Shyla didn't crank out the films though, she made about 20 films over the next few years. Shyla was unique because she did the really hardcore shit and she was beautiful - up until that point it was a rare combination as most of the real beauties just did softcore. Shyla was the whole package and many of her flicks went on to become cult classics.
