Emily Willis
Career
Willis was born in Argentina and moved to Utah at seven after her mother remarried. She entered the industry in 2017 at eighteen and was a Penthouse Pet of the Month by May 2019. She won Female Performer of the Year at both AVN and XBIZ in 2021, repeating the XBIZ title in 2022, and appeared in the 2022 Steven Soderbergh-produced film Divinity and a 2023 Slipknot music video. She has not performed since a cardiac arrest during addiction treatment in early 2024 left her with severe, lasting brain injury; her family reached a settlement with the treatment centre in 2026.
Signature: Penthouse named her Pet of the Month in 2019, and by 2021 the Hollywood Reporter was calling her "among the most prominent adult performers in the world" after she won Female Performer of the Year at both AVN and XBIZ, repeating the XBIZ title the following year. Her placement here rests on the record built through 2023.
