Page 22 - AVN April 2020

There were early signs that this month’s cover subject, Gianna Dior,
was destined for Best New Starlet greatness. Dior started out ahead
of the pack in many ways. As Colin Allerton at Adult Empire recalls,
she hit his site’s Top 100 performer list within six months. And
according to performer-director Manuel Ferrara, “Every year I feel
like the Best New Starlet is always the stiffest competition, but it just
made sense,” Ferrara says. “It was just evident from the beginning
that she was gonna be a huge star.” Find out more inside about this
exceptional performer, whose drive to be the best earned her one
of porn’s most prestigious honors. ... The hunger for AVN gold is not
exclusive to American performers. Meet new AVN Award winner
Jia Lissa, who hails from Russia. She’s gotten her first trophy, and
it’s given her a taste for more. ... Also featured this month: veteran
domme Goddess Brandon, newbie LaSirena69, Spanish performer
Betty Foxxx, and the singular Siri, back after a five-year hiatus.
