“I always wanted to be the person who
stood on Shamu’s nose.”
Wendy Raine had been riding killer whales and raising dolphins for 20 years at a popular
marine mammal park in Florida when, at the unlikely age of 49, she got reeled into porn.
“I was a trainer. I had wanted to do that since I was 6,” said Raine, whose left arm is tatted
with the tail fin of her favorite dolphin from the park. “Every summer, my sister and brothers
wanted to go to Disney, and I was, like, ‘No, let’s go to SeaWorld!’ I always wanted to be
the person who stood on Shamu’s nose.”
That fearlessness and sense of adventure propelled Raine to jump ship for a porn career
in late 2021, when a girlfriend from the swinger community that Raine and her husband of
30 years belong to referred her to The Score Group, purveyors of big-boob entertainment.
“She did a shoot for them and gave them my name,” Raine remembered. “She said, ‘Hey,
I told them about you. I think you’d be good at it.’”
Petite, fit, and blonde with 36-DDs, Raine looked the part, but could she perform on
camera?
“Being in the lifestyle, I’ve become an exhibitionist,” Raine said. “You go to these parties or
a resort or a club, and there are open rooms and people around; maybe they’re watching
you, maybe not. I was at a hotel, and my husband brought over a single guy for me. The
curtains weren’t all the way closed in our room, and somebody was standing on the other
side watching. It kind of turns you on…if you’re like that.”
The more Raine thought about it, the more she liked the idea. “What the hell,” she thought.
“You only live once. If I didn’t like it, I’d never have to do it again. But I had a blast. I had
fun on set. And, when the scenes came out, everybody loved them and encouraged me
to proceed. So, I did.”
