"After living in California for around six months, a friend named Brian from Rockford came to live with Ginger and they began a relationship (in interviews since she has called him the 'first nice boyfriend' she ever had), although he had no job due to the move and their life was being financed on the small wage that Ginger was earning. She decided to find something that would support them both better and responded to an advertisement from the 'World Modeling Agency' in the September of 1983. From her young looks and her great physique, they hired her on the spot and one of her first roles was a spread in the popular adult magazine, Penthouse. This exposure gained her publicity in the industry and by the December of that year she began working in adult videos. Her first films include the 1984 releases 'Surrender In Paradise', 'Slumber Party', 'Supergirls Do General Hospital' and 'Suze's Centerfolds 8'.
Due to these appearances, her fame grew quickly and by the end of her career she had appeared in over 220 films (although some were reused clips from earlier performances, the exact number of original scenes shot is unknown). She was the original 'Vivid Girl' (a rumoured relationship with the owner of Vivid Entertainment, Steve Hirsch, may well have influenced this) and she also had her own line of videos released through the company. She became a favourite among fans for performing anal and DP (double penetration) which were extremely rare for a huge name like her to do at that time, along with also frequently appearing in lesbian scenes (in which she was extremely vocal, and through which she has been credited with popularising 'dirty talk' during sex scenes). Throughout her career she worked with some of the biggest names at the time, including Ron Jeremy, Tom Byron and the infamous John Holmes." - pornstarclassics
