Early life

Silvia Saint was born Silvie Tomčalová on 12 February 1976, in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic).[4] She grew up as an only child during the country’s communist era and faced significant hardship, including poverty and the death of her father during her early childhood.[9][10]

Career

Saint began in erotic modeling, first lingerie, then nude in magazines and finally in pornographic films.[6] She was Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1996 (Czech edition).[11] After her introduction to the American porn industry, she became the October 1998 Penthouse Pet of the Month (U.S. edition).[3]

Saint's early films were shot in Europe, many for Private Media Group.[4][5] She performed in a Private Media Group sex in space-themed pornographic film The Uranus Experiment: Part Two.[4] The film featured around 20 seconds of Saint and Nick Lang having sex in freefall (the scene was shot during a parabolic flight). It was nominated in the Best Script category for a Nebula Award, but it did not win.[12]

Saint was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at Torino Sex 2005, Turin's second annual Delta of Venus Fair.[13]

In 2006, she won the rights to the Internet domain name silviasaint.com from a cybersquatter in a Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy action.[2] In 2007, the mobile game Sylvia Saint in Erotic Pool was released for Java ME-supported phones.[14] Since 2007, she has only starred and performed in lesbian sex movies, while also taking care of the auditions as director and producer to her official website.[15]
