1. Kimberly Kane
Why Kimberly ranks 1st
Kane's AVN Best Group Sex Scene win in 2006 arrived the same year she directed her first feature, Naked and Famous, for Pulse Pictures — the start of a directing career that went on to produce Triple Ecstasy, Morphine and Live In My Secrets for Vivid Entertainment's Vivid-Alt label using Super 8mm film and mixed media.
She served as Treasurer of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, co-wrote its educational video Porn 101, and in 2015 hosted her own strand, Sex+Food, on Viceland/Munchies — a mainstream cable role built around her as host rather than guest. The AVN Hall of Fame inducted her in 2016.

Career
Kimberly Kane directed her first feature, Naked and Famous, for Pulse Pictures in 2006, then went on to direct Triple Ecstasy, Morphine and Live In My Secrets for Vivid Entertainment’s Vivid-Alt label, working with Super 8mm film and mixed media rather than standard video. She served as Treasurer of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee and co-wrote its educational video Porn 101. Her photography ran twice in Vice Magazine, including the 2012 "Girls of Hollywood" portrait series, and she was featured the same year in Maxim and The Escapist. In 2015 she hosted Sex+Food on Viceland/Munchies, a mainstream cable food-and-culture strand built around her as the on-camera host rather than a guest.
Signature: Hosted her own strand on a mainstream cable network — Viceland’s Sex+Food — rather than appearing as a guest on someone else’s show.
