Sunrise Adams born September 14, 1982 in St. Louis, Missouri is an American pornographic actress. She is the niece of the well-known porn film star Sunset Thomas. Once she was 18, her aunt Sunset Thomas -- already a famous porn actress herself - came to visit, arriving in a tractor and trailer at the Sonic Drive-In where Adams was employed. With little debate, Thomas convinced her niece that the adult film industry could also be her path to money and fame, and even came up with a stage name complimentary to her own. Adams officially began her porn career on January 8, 2001, when she appeared with Ed Powers in More Dirty Debutantes 186, though she later admitted the experience was "nothing I want to remember". Like most actresses new to the pornographic industry, she was encouraged to try sexual acts outside her prior experiences. Her first sexual encounter with another girl was with Cherry Rain in Cockless 3 (2001), which she found she enjoyed. Adams also did anal scenes in her very early films - including her first ever with Powers - but after a particularly rough session in Vince Voyeur's Initiations 8 (2001) ended up requiring stitches and recuperation time to heal, she has since adamantly refused to continue that practice on film. On September 17, 2002, Adams underwent breast enlargement surgery, despite Vivid's objections, which preferred her youthful figure and natural breasts. Adams is particularly well-known for her oral skills and lesbian scenes. Nominated for Best Actress by AVN in 2003, she won the award for "Best Oral Sex Scene - Film" in 2004 for the movie Heart of Darkness. She has made a number of films with brunette star Faith Adams, her "almost namesake," and actually claimed to have been "married" to Faith for almost two years. In late-2004, not long after renewing her Vivid contract for 10 more years, Adams abruptly left the adult film business.
