Cherie DeVille
Career
DeVille holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and practised as a licensed clinician before entering the industry in 2011 at 32; she has said she still works part-time in physical therapy. She became the most-awarded performer of her generation in this category, winning AVN MILF Performer of the Year five times between 2018 and 2025 and taking the overall XBIZ Performer of the Year award in 2023. She writes for Rolling Stone and The Daily Beast and appeared in the 2023 Netflix documentary Money Shot.
Signature: Dramatic range. DeVille is the reliable lead for the psychological, story-driven features that studios like Pure Taboo built their reputations on.
