Silvie Tomčalová (born 12 February 1976),[3][1][2][6] known as Silvia Saint, is a Czech former pornographic actress.[4] In 1996, she was Penthouse Pet of the Year in the Czech edition of the magazine.[7][8] She has appeared in over 300 pornographic movies.[4]
Silvia Saint was born Silvia Tomcalova on 12 February 1976, in what is now the Czech Republic. She was an only child who faced many hardships in her life, including poverty and the death of her father when she was young[citation needed].
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).[9] 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] which featured a brief scene filmed in a Russian aircraft flying a parabolic track (similar to NASA's Vomit Comet). The film featured around 20 seconds of Saint and Nick Lang (who both portray astronauts living on a space station) having penetrative sex in freefall. The scene was nominated for a Nebula Award, but it did not win.[10]
Saint was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at Torino Sex 2005, Turin's second annual Delta of Venus Fair.[11]
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.[12] 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.[13]
