Taylor Rain is a renowned porn star from the United States. She initially pursued a career as a flight attendant, but after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, she shifted her focus to the adult film industry. Over a period of three years, she starred in over 200 pornographic movies, starting off using the name Nikki Star. Her specialty lies in scenes featuring anal intercourse. Despite an early marriage to Scott Fayner in January 2004, the relationship ended quickly in an annulment. She rarely participated in lesbian performances, except for a memorable threesome. Although she has been intimate with Lloyd Banks in her personal life and appeared with Rick Lee, an Asian actor, on screen, she has deliberately avoided doing interracial scenes. This choice may have been influenced by her father's aversion to interracial relationships. Wishing to explore new avenues of her career, in December 2005, she announced her decision to retire from performing in porn films and instead focus on directing and engaging more actively with fans through her paid website, which features photo collections, explicit videos, and online chats. Taylor expressed a desire to settle down, start a family, and indicated that retiring would provide her with the time to do so. Although hints of retirement were mentioned, she still took part in various projects in 2006 and 2007. Notably, she emerged as the champion of the Porn Star Beauty Pageant on the Howard Stern Radio Show in March 2005, triumphing over other adult film celebrities, such as Kami Andrews, Railee, Renee Pornero, and Aurora Snow.
