Romanian pornstars mainly come from Bucharest, the country's capital, that was the birthplace for approximately 50% of them. Otherwise, the southern regions of Romania contribute little to the porn industry, probably because the local market is saturated with girls from Bucharest. The north-western corner also displays a high ratio of pornstars, due to the proximity of the Hungarian hub and one of, if not the biggest, pornhubs in Europe: Budapest.

Here's the ethnic distribution of Romanian pornstars. White brunettes are dominant, but notice the high number of ginger pornstars, even though this could be seen as an universal trend...

Here are some of Romania's hottest pornstars:

Black Angelicka aka Black Angelica, was born in 1987 in Bucharest. She started her career  for 21Sextury in 2003 in a rough anal sex scene in Analizator 3, produced in her home town. After winning the Best European Starlet Award at the Hot d'Or in 2009 and Best European Actress at the Erotixxx Awards in 2010, she began working with some of Europe's biggest production companies, and notably French Marc Dorcel, starring for example in Orgy: The XXX Championship in 2011. She's worked for several other European companies, including German Paradise Films in All Over My Ass in 2012. She did a few scenes on the North American market, including a featuring in the Big Butts Like It Big 8 for Brazzers in 2011. She specialises in hardcore and anal porn. She's recently converted to more MILF-related releases.

Sandra Romain is a true legend in Romanian porn. Born in 1978 in Timisoara in Western Romania, she started her career aged 22, in 2000, with Threesomes also starring German Katja Kassin. She reached the penacle of her career in 2006-07 when she received nothing less than 5 AVN Awards, including one for Fuck Slaves alongside upcoming superstar Sasha Grey. She's starred in approximately 500 titles (33/year), making her by far the most prolific Romanian pornstar in the industry. She's worked for both US companies, like 3rd Degree, Kink and Hustler and European companies, like Private Media (SWE) and Marc Dorcel (FRA). Even though she's done pretty much all porn genres common in the West, she's been working a niche around bondage, submission and hardcore porn and has been a very active in Kink's Public Disgrace (6 appearances) and Sex and Submission (5 apperances) series.

Donna Bell was born in 1988 in Constanza. She started her career as she turned 19, in Christoph Clark's Nasty Intentions alongside fellow Romanian porn actress Black Angelicka. She's worked mainly in Europe: to start with in US-productions based in Hungary or in Romania, then for Swedish Private Media (2010-12), Spanish Interseleccion (2012), and German Mascotte Film (2013). She's starred in approximately 70 releases during her 9 years in business. Like many other Romanian pornstars, she's been putting an emphasis on harcore sex scenes.

Romanian pornstars engage in a very large variety of porn genres. They're #3 around the world in the diversity of their practices, only behind neighbours Slovakia and Ukraine. They're notably predominant in Anal porn (#2), Orgies (#3) and Bondage (#3). Romanian pornstars make for the amongst the kinkiest of sex performers in the world.

No genuinely Romanian porn production companies exist in Romania. The sexcam business is however flourishing and one of the most dynamic sectors in the country's economy. Many Western European and American companies however come and settle (more or less permanently) to produce porn in Bucharest and some directors have specialised in scouting Romanian starlets, such as Christoph Clark.
