“Honestly, it was the best job in the world and I had been away for so long.”
Sadie Summers returned to studio work for the first time in 15 years in May, seeing familiar faces and rediscovering her passion for performing.
The Canadian heartbreaker formerly known as Tobi Pacific made the most of her business trip to Los Angeles, doing a handful of scenes with A-list co-stars such as Michael Stefano, Mike Adriano, Lucky Fate and Alex Legend.
“It was so fun,” Summers says. “It was a lot different than I would’ve expected. The industry is much different now but it was such a great experience and I met so many great people.”
Sadie and her husband started doing content together for OnlyFans about a year ago. It was her husband who inspired her to start back into professional porn when he asked if she would ever consider doing studio work again.
“I was kind of shocked, actually,” Summers says. “It was so evolved. It takes a special kind of person to be OK with it. ... I feel like I won the lottery for that because I love sex work. Honestly, it was the best job in the world and I had been away for so long. For him to support me creatively and allow me to go and make movies with other creators I’m really proud of him.”
Booking exclusively through Andre Madness and Jonathan Morgan’s Nexxxt Level Talent, Sadie says working with the veteran studs Stefano and Adriano brought back memories of her first tour through Porn Valley.
This time around she took on Adriano for his site, AllAnal.com, along with second-year performer Maria Kazi.
“It was incredible,” Sadie says, adding that she went on a go-see for Adriano before the scene—and to her surprise, he remembered her.
“As soon as I walked in he asked me, ‘Did you used to be in the business before?’ He even remembered the shoot, so I was really impressed by that.”
When Summers performed with Adriano in 2005 he also was brand new to professional porn. His longtime buddy Greg Lansky co-directed the scene that also starred Steve Holmes.
Sadie also went for another spin with the 2005 AVN Male Performer of the Year Michael Stefano in May in a scene for New Sensations.
“That was really fun,” Summers says. “He has the best energy and he’s so respectful.”
In addition, she collaborated with Alex Legend on a pair of content scenes, performed live for Jerkmate with two other girls and tangled with the Best Male Newcomer, Lucky Fate. Summers first broke into the business in 2005 when she was 19, doing 70-something scenes during a two-year span before deciding to pursue other interests. Among other
things, she wanted to be a “ski bum” for a while.
Nowadays, she’s still an avid skier and downhill mountain biker. Summers also became
a nurse, specializing in public health and home community care for 11 years and working a lot with indigenous populations on reservations.
Sadie still practices nursing on occasion, doing palliative care in patient’s homes.
