Әннабель Чон: Сингапурлық-американдық порножұлдыздың өмірі мен мансабы

Singaporean American pornographic actress

Grace Quek , known professionally as Annabel Chong, is a Singaporean former pornographic actress who became famous after starring in an adult film that was promoted as the World's Biggest Gang Bang. The film was commercially successful and started a trend of "record breaking" gang bang pornography.

Quek was born and raised in Singapore in a middle class Protestant Singaporean Chinese family. She was the only child of two teachers. She was a student at Raffles Girls' School, where she was enlisted in the country's Gifted Education Programme and Hwa Chong Junior College. Former teachers and classmates describe Quek as quiet, conservative, intelligent, and studious. At the age of 21, she dropped out of law school and went on to study photography, art and gender studies at the University of Southern California (USC), where she excelled academically. At the same time, she also began working in pornographic films. She later went on to do graduate studies in gender studies at USC.

Since her parents did not approve of her dropping out of law school, she needed a source of income to pay her college fees. In 1994, she started in porn by answering an advertisement for a modelling agency in LA Weekly. Quek was reportedly interested in blurring the boundary between pornography and performance art in her work. In her March 2000 appearance on the radio program Loveline, Quek admitted that there were slightly fewer than 70 men in her gang bang and that there were water and lunch breaks during the ten hour shoot. For her performance, she earned a "dubious achievement award" in Esquire magazine. The event also prompted author Chuck Palahniuk to write a novel, Snuff, about a fictional character who aimed to surpass Quek's record by having sex with 600 men. In 2007 a play written by Ng Yi Sheng based on her story, 251, was staged in Singapore, directed by Loretta Chen. She stopped discussing her former career in the adult industry after her retirement. In limited correspondence for the biographical play 251, she told the producers, "Do whatever you want with Annabel Chong because this person doesn't exist anymore." In 2011 Complex magazine ranked her at #41 in their list of "The Top 50 Hottest Asian Porn Stars of All Time". In 2000, while working in a strip club, she role played as a student learning how to write computer code, while her client would spank her whenever she made a mistake. After the role play, she was inspired to learn how to write computer code. In 2001, she attained an associate degree in software engineering at Westwood College. After graduating, she worked as a freelance consultant until becoming a full time engineer after retiring from porn. as of 2020 she works as a web developer in California.
