In the first part of The Rialto Report‘s conversation with Lisa Cintrice, we heard about her colorful upbringing, from a mobster father, to becoming pregnant as a teen, and then a shotgun wedding to the brother of a notorious New York strip club manager.
All of a sudden, she found herself at the heart of the New York adult film business, and what’s more, starring in a movie, The Starmaker (1982), while fielding offers to appear in many others. There was only one problem: Lisa had already signed up to join the army and was about to be conscripted, and the army wasn’t interested in letting her go easily. A desperate situation called for a desperate measure.
Lisa’s time in porn had highs and lows, living with Fred Lincoln and Tiffany Clark, partying with Jamie Gillis at the Hellfire club, and bumping into Richard Dreyfuss at Plato’s Retreat. But it also brought with it a drug habit that risked her life. As a result, Lisa did the only thing she could to survive: she fled New York and hid for over 30 years, terrified of having her past exposed. Trouble was, during that time, she got a recurring part in the TV series, ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ – a franchise well-known for its obsessive and curious fans. To make matters worse, the internet happened – and suddenly her adult films were available to a whole new generation.
And then in 2015, The Rialto Report tracked Lisa down and contacted her for an article about her life – not realizing how she’d done everything to hide her porn past from prying eyes for several decades. Lisa panicked: this was her worst fear, and it risked collapsing her personal, family, and professional life.
Fast forward to the present day, and Lisa is now ready to talk about it all in this candid and personal interview. She’s even decided to write a book.
The second part of her life is even wilder than the first. This is concluding part of Lisa’s story.
This episode running time is 56 minutes.

I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve waited all week to hear this second part……. and it didn’t disappoint.
A remarkable life story, expertly told by a first class interviewer, and packaged in a very classy way.
Thank you for continuing to tell these stories. Excellent work.
I discovered The Rialto Report this week, and frankly I don’t know how I have lived without it for so long. An incredible collection of hundreds of stories, all researched meticulously, and told in a respectful manner. A quite amazing achievement that will truly become an invaluable legacy in years to come.
Yes its a great site…woof…have fun catching up on podcasts et all…I am.
Thanks to TRR and interviewees!
There is a Richard Dreyfuss Connection with Fred Lincoln
Richards’s first wife was Fred’s Co-Star Jeramie Rain from the classic horror movie “Last House on the Left ”
Great podcast, you have had a great life Lisa, heres to many more happy years
There is also a connection with R Bolla and Richard Dreyfuss from the Goodbye Girl. Bolla had a good part in that flick..the question at hand …how did Bolla end up in the Goodbye Girl..lol
Good question, but R Bolla was a very good actor too. He was always trying to become an actor outside of porn like in Mission Hill, Eaten Alive, Cannibal Holocaust, No Way Out etc. It is just sad his porn work eventually ostracized him from the mainstream.
That’s right! Robert Kerman’s role in “The Goodbye Girl” was a non-speaking role, but he’s featured a few times in the film. I can’t help but laugh every time he appears, wondering if he’s gonna take his clothes off. LOL. Pretty similar to her career.
Great interview April! Hope to hear you guys back soon! Also thank you Lisa for telling your story!
MISTYK the DJ
Awesome Article Keep Up Good Work
As a pornaphile and general cinephile I watched movies for the background. It is nice to hear about the performers background experience.
Thank you Lisa for your informative intervew and candor.
Priceless.
Yes he was a great actor
Your very welcome
Another great piece of work, expertly done and respectfully handled by you guys. Really really happy to hear that she has made her way through and is going good these days. She has nothing to be ashamed of, the story of the adult entertainment industry in America is as important as any other in history and she should be proud of her part in it. This website is an absolute diamond mine and represents the best of the internet as far as I am concerned. Fantastic job!
The way she looks in some of these photos from back in the day, she could’ve passed for Johnny Thunders’ long lost twin sister. Cool, tough, & sexy.
Who is Johnny Thunder?
Johnny Thunders was a guitarist for the New York Dolls a seminal N.Y. proto-punk/glam band, and later fronted his own solo group Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers. He was also a paisan.
Ron yet again spotted acting inappropriately. God knows there’s enough evidence all over the Internet of him not even trying to hide in plain sight.
Yup
Thanks paisan
Lisa was in a couple scenes that stick out to me from that era. The final one from Debbie Does Dallas 2 and the bachelor party scenario in Society Affairs. In that there was multiple gals involved which is harder to replicate in real life with the partners you would want. So watching is kind of fun. If she did not get along with Ms. Woods then that is some great acting as much of the action seems to flow well as I had not watched it in years but did so after hearing her podcast. Bambi was a legend for a reason with her hair and build and the bimbo act making her sex siren maneuvers in the white boots and cowboy impressive to watch. Ms. Cintrice a worthy co star in looks and sensuality as well with her own “maneuvers” as she mentions in the interview. Plus her horn blowing scene as the bachelor party stripper comes off well photographed and she does her part yet again in style. Jeremy and Reems… fortunate guys to say the least.. lol. Interesting interview
Thank you
I savored this one for a week or two it was great. Thank you for sharing your story Lisa . What’s makes it is that you are doing good now.
You are very welcome and thanks for tuning in
Finally! I finally listened to part 2. Fantastic. As always! Getting Lisa to open up about ‘everything’ was well done. I’ve had a couple ‘minor’ dialogues with the sensual, Lisa Cintrice on ‘X’-elon and she seems genuinely sweet and thoughtful. I hope to have more contact with her in the future. On the sexual side of her, gotta say, she’s gorgeous and the scene she did with Bambi & H-Hog in DDDallas II was AMAZING! G
I saw you in DDD II and looked for you for the next 35 years or so…LOL. I’m glad to see you’ve done well.
