Abigail Clayton was a pornographic actress during the 1970s and 1980s.

Born in New York City, New York.

A youthful-looking brunette with small, but sweet and perky breasts, lovely big eyes, a large yet luscious frame, auburn hair, silky skin and a slight (and incredibly sexy) overbite, Abigail was one of the most appealing and attractive female stars of the Golden Age Of Porn.

Abigail Clayton was one of the first adult stars to move into mainstream films when she appeared in, "Bye Bye Monkey" ( 1978 ), with Gérard Depardieu and Marcello Mastroianni and had a small part as a nun in the comedy, "So Fine" (1981).

Abigail quit appearing in hard-core films in 1980.

She was inducted into the XRCO Hall Of Fame in 2008.

Clayton started her career in 1976 during the Porn Chic era when adult movies were shown in mainstream theaters.

Beautiful and capable adult-film actress Abigail Clayton gave an impressive lead performance in her film debut as the eager innocent adolescent who experiences a sexual awakening, in the excellent and highly erotic teen-coming-of-age feature, "Dixie" (1976).

Her name would often appear in ads in major newspapers of the time, alongside other stars such as, Annette Haven and Leslie Bovee.

One of Clayton's earliest movies was Alex de Renzy's, "Femmes de Sade", which was the eighth film inducted in to XRCO's Hall Of Fame.

Clayton's lusty and steamy contributions to such classic pictures as, "Naked Afternoon" (1976), she also appeared in Harold Lime's, "Desires Within Young Girls" (1977), with Georgina Spelvin; and was the title character in Antonio Shepherd's, "7 Into Snowy" [a parody of, "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs"] (1977) and "SexWorld" ( 1978 ).

Her last adult film was, "October Silk", in 1980.

Moreover, Clayton also appeared in a few "mainstream" movies:

She starred alongside, Gérard Depardieu, in "Bye Bye Monkey" (1978).

Clayton was especially memorable when she was cast as, 'Rita', a hapless model who gets brutally murdered by a vicious psychotic (Joe Spinell) in the notorious horror/slasher cult favorite, "Maniac" (1980).

Her last mainstream role was a small part as a nun in the Ryan O'Neal film, "So Fine", in 1981.

Clayton only appeared in 15 original adult films during her career. Far fewer than most other adult stars. She appeared in another 22 films that were compilations of scenes from her previous movies.
