Long before there was a marketplace of women making dirty movies for women, there was Candida Royalle. Just about 25 years ago, Royalle moved from in front of the camera to behind the lens and began creating porn she was interested in watching with her studio, Femme Productions. Considered a rock star by lady porn lovers (including us HM4Her gals), Candida was one of the first to start releasing movies made from a woman’s voice and created with women viewers in mind. Without her vision and perseverance, ‘for women, by women’ porn might never have taken off like it has, and we might not even exist. So thanks, Candida!

And because Candida was a pioneer of the field and fought on the forefront of female porn, the woman has a lot of wonderful memories and stories! So to let us take a glimpse of the past and experience all Candida has to say, we’ve broken her interview into four parts, complete with some of her personal pictures from other the years!

Look for the four parts of Candida’s interview, posting on Monday’s and be sure to check out part one and part two!

11. If you were president, what’s the first thing you’d change?
That’s a real tough one. There are so MANY things we need to change, as our current president is trying to accomplish. I don’t know…I think I’ll just leave him to make that decision. I trust him!

12. What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?
Oh gee, that’s a tough one. I think it’s too embarrassing to tell! I’ve got my pride, after all!!

13. Which is your favorite project that you’ve worked on?
You keep asking for one choice in all these categories and as you can see I have a hard time coming up with just one of anything! As I accumulate more and more experience and personal history there are so many things I’ve done, so many opinions, so many likes and dislikes, I just can’t put my finger on one. In my twenties I would have said it was one of fun, crazy theatre productions I did in San Francisco, or a singing act I helped put together.

Another 10-15 years later I might have pointed to one of my film-projects…probably shooting Eyes of Desire, parts one and two back to back, with Missy and Micky G and my friend and producer Michele Capozzi and cinematographer Jane Waters…Maybe I’d say the early days of creating Natural Contours with my industrial design partner from Amsterdam…I’ve had a very rich life!

14. If you could have 1 superpower what would it be?
To take away all the pain and suffering in the world, both for people and especially animals – farm animals and those in the wild – who suffer so at our hands.

15. Meat or veggie?
I’ve been a vegetarian since 1985 but I do occasionally eat fish. I reverted back to chicken, trying to stick to free-range, for a couple of years but I prefer not to eat it. They’re treated too brutally and without mercy.
