Full Biography

Racquel Darrian, born Kelly Jackson on July 21, 1968, in Hutchinson, Kansas, is a former American pornographic actress and director who rose to prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s. Her career in the adult entertainment industry spanned over a decade, during which she appeared in more than 100 films. She was known in the industry for her derriere, which was often called the "best ass in the business".

Darrian began her career as a nude model, posing for magazines such as Penthouse and Playboy. In October 1990, she was featured as the Penthouse Pet of the month. Her early adult film work was primarily in all-girl scenes, but as her popularity grew, she began taking roles in heterosexual films as well. She eventually signed an exclusive contract with Vivid Video and became one of their top stars, known as a "Vivid Girl".

During her career, Darrian married fellow performer Derrick Lane, and initially, she worked exclusively with him in her scenes. However, she later insisted on working with other men, which led to her working with a wider range of partners. The couple later divorced in 2000. She received an AVN Award for Best Tease Performance in 1993 for her role in Bonnie and Clyde.

In 1997, Darrian was living in Las Vegas and working as a feature dancer at clubs across the country. Her tenure with Vivid ended in 1999, reportedly due to substance-related issues. In 2002, she was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame, a recognition of her significant contributions to the industry. Following her departure from the adult film industry, she has lived a quieter life. She has a daughter, Brooke, born in 1997, and has been married to Darren Deschryver since 2018.
