“I never thought I could do as much as I’ve done.”
Romi Rain came into the adult industry armed with plans to create a legacy.
“I always had the mentality of trying to take it seriously and make it into a career,” Rain says.
“I said if I’m going to do this, I want to do it right.
“I want to have a name for myself. I want to have bragging rights. I want to have success. I
want to have covers... I want to have opportunities.”
More than a decade later, the results speak for themselves.
One of the prominent faces of the new era of adult entertainment, where empowered
performers manage their brands on multiple platforms while engaging a global fanbase through social media, the ambitious native of Boston continues to demonstrate what’s possible in the business of pleasure.
From nude modeling and exotic dancing to webcamming and headlining hundreds of adult movies, Rain has excelled at every phase of the game.
And that’s not even the half of it.
Her remarkable run also includes becoming a certified sex educator, brand ambassador, Fleshlight Girl, podcaster and hosting the 2019 AVN Awards in what has turned into a future Hall of Fame resume.
“That to me is a dream come true—my adult’s life’s work,” Rain tells AVN. “It still brings a little bit of tears to my eyes. I never thought I could do as much as I’ve done.
“I’m so happy I’ve contributed to the industry my whole life, so happy to be involved in so much of it. It’s crazy to be at this point where I can hire people who used to book me.
“I’m so grateful and I still consider myself lucky. I pursued everything but there is also a degree of luck and timing.”
If there was any luck involved, without question Rain took the necessary actions to make her own. When she made up her mind to do something, she didn’t wait for something to be handed to her.
“Fortune favors the brave and the prepared—you’ve gotta go for it,” Rain reasons. “That’s probably the Boston Italian thing. I’m definitely a vocal person. I like to say what I want and go after what I want. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.”
Rain took the initiative with four-time AVN Director of the Year Axel Braun, who recalls how she spoke up when they crossed paths in Las Vegas.
Braun chose Rain for the lead role of Wonder Woman in Justice League XXX, a Wicked Pictures production that would go onto win the 2018 AVN Award for Best Parody, along with five other honors.
