Nina Hartley is recovering from a major surgery
As reported by AVN’s Mark Kernes, legendary porn star Nina Hartley has undergone a major surgery. Hartley had the procedure about a week ago, in which doctors removed a seven pound uterine fibroid tumor. After some complications and a few days of recovery in the hospital, Nina is now back home and appears to be on pace to get back to full time hardcore porn work by mid-August. Very good news, indeed.
For those who maybe aren’t familiar with Nina Hartley (@NinaLand on Twitter) or her impressive career, allow me to provide a brief introduction. Hartley first got into the porn industry in 1984, during her junior year of nursing school, when she starred in the film Educating Nina. Since then, she has starred in over eight-hundred porn films. Additionally, Hartley has had roles in mainstream movies such as Boogie Nights and Bubbles Galore. And Nina Hartley is not just a pretty face. In fact, Hartley is a leading voice in defending the porn industry (she even appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, years back, to speak out in support of the industry). A registered nurse, having graduated with magna cum laude honors from San Francisco State University, she is also a respected sex educator and feminist activist.
It’s great to hear that Nina Hartley is recovering and that she’ll be making her return to the world of porn in just a few months. I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her continue her already impressive career. Feel free to drop her a few words of support on Twitter and/or her Facebook fan page.
