Nikki Charm (born Shannon Louise Eaves on February 21, 1966 in California) is a former adult video performer. She is a member of the Adult Video News Hall of Fame and the XRCO Hall of Fame.[2][3]
When it was revealed in 1986 that Traci Lords had been making adult films while underage, federal authorities suspected this was likewise true of Nikki and several other performers. Federal subpoenas were issued seeking access to records confirming her age.[4] However, she was able to produce documentation verifying that she had made her first adult film soon after her 18th birthday and was therefore legally able to appear in pornographic movies.[2]
Between 1984 and 1990 she appeared in nearly 50 videos, and was for a time a contract performer with Vivid Entertainment.[5] Charm stopped appearing in adult films in 1990, though in the mid-'90s she became a featured exotic dancer. From 1999–2000 she made a brief return to adult films, appearing in six titles during this time.[6][7]
In October 2002 she was arrested and charged with several counts of burglary and grand theft auto. She was convicted and sentenced to a five-year prison sentence (served in the Central California Women's Facility near Chowchilla).[1]
In early 2011 she returned to the adult industry, working as a production manager, and has signed on to perform in a scene with Tom Byron for his "Seasoned Players" series of adult DVDs.[8]
