Juliet Anderson (born Judith Carr on July 23, 1938 in Burbank, California, U.S.) is an American pornographic actress.

Biography

In the early 1960s, she lived in Japan where she became fluent in the language. She studied Asian art history and the literature of Japan at nihongo|Sophia University|上智大学|Jōchi daigaku in Tokyo. She taught English conversation in Hayama and in Tokyo. She also tried her one and only marriage with an American in the U.S. Navy. She and her former husband are still friends.

After teaching English language courses for several years in Mexico, Japan, Greece and Finland, Anderson returned to the United States in the 1970s and became involved in the pornography industry. She entered the business relatively late in life at nearly forty years of age. She developed a serious reputation as a performer of voracious appetite — she boasted of never faking an orgasm in any of her scenes.

The majority of her early career consisted of 8mm loops produced by the "Swedish Erotica" stable. One of these loops wound up becoming her "signature role" as Aunt Peg. The name was acquired from a throwaway line in one specific loop, where she is referred to rather emphatically as "Aunt Peg" during a threesome between herself, John Holmes, and her "niece", Sharon Kane. The name stuck, and even after Anderson moved from 8mm loops to feature films and began going by "Juliet Anderson", if she was not sub-billed as "Aunt Peg" on the posters and box cover text, she was identified as such in the reviews.

Eventually realizing that age was creeping up on her, Anderson began moving out of regular porn acting and into the production aspects of the industry. During the 1980s, she worked as a producer and is credited with having discovered Nina Hartley, who herself also started in porn at a later age than most actresses. Currently, she is semi-retired, but has made occasional cameo appearances on TV and in non-porn films.

In recent years, Anderson has done a few photo sessions for adult magazines, such as the January 2003 issue of "Hot Mom" magazine, to show that sexagenarians can still be sexually appealing. In 1998, she directed "Ageless Desire", a hardcore video featuring several over-50 real-life couples, including Anderson and her partner. [http://www.auntpeg.com/videos.html]
