Serena, the redheaded star from the golden age of adult film, will be signing copies of her new book Bright Lights, Lonely Nights on Saturday, December 6 at Larry Edmunds’ Bookshop, 6644 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA at 8 PM.
Serena’s autobiography, Bright Lights, Lonely Nights, tells of her life as a youngster battling bipolar disorder in the 1970s’ adult film world.
“My book, Bright Lights, Lonely Nights deals with growing up in the X-rated film industry in the 1970s as a girl dealing with being bipolar,” Serena explained. “It is a narrative of actors I worked with, magazines I posed for, and films I was in. It includes stories of my boyfriend, the Prince of Porn, Jamie Gillis, as well as many famous people I’ve met through the years.”
“Another Star of that genre, Richard Pacheco (AKA Howie Gordon) has also written a book about that era, Hindsight,” she added. “Whoopi Goldberg wrote the forward for his book… We have an appearance scheduled together at Pleasures of the Heart Shop on December 10, 7 to 9 PM.”

“A true pioneer, artist, and star of her generation, Serena is the very definition of individuality and freedom tantamount to an exclusive community of golden era, erotic film performers,” wrote Jill C. Nelson, author of Golden Goddesses: 25 Legendary Women of Classic Erotic Cinema, 1968-1985. “Melding natural beauty and raw sexuality with an intuitive, ethereal sensitivity, Serena created an abiding presence on screen. Almost 40 years after her film debut, exquisitely characterized by quiet wisdom and honesty, Serena continues to mystify and titillate fans. In her ‘memory book’ Serena has crafted an odyssey of events, ruminations and images reflecting an inspired age of liberation. This is a superb read.”
