Desiree Cousteau
Encyclopedia : D : DE : DES : Desiree Cousteau
Desiree Cousteau (born Deborah Clearbranch in 1956 in Savannah, Georgia, USA) was a porn star of the 1970s and 1980s. She is best known for her roles in the 1978 film Pretty Peaches and 1979's Inside Desiree Cousteau.
Desiree Cousteau started out in the early 70's as a mainstream actress, landing a small part in the 1974 "girls-in-prison" B-movie Caged Heat. Her mainstream career never quite took off, though, and soon she found herself drawn into the burgeoning world of sex films. She worked steadily in adult movies from the mid-1970s through the late 1980s.
She received the award in 1978 from the Adult Film Association of America for her performance as "Peaches" in the movie Pretty Peaches. Many of the characters she portrayed were somewhat ditzy, leading some viewers to assume that the actress herself was similarly dim-witted.
Although little is known about Cousteau's life after she retired from the adult film business, three wildly varying rumors persist. The first claims that she got married and settled down into an anonymous family life. The second, and more widespread rumor reported in several adult film magazines, states that she was institutionalized in the mid-80's after a mental breakdown. The final rumor, that she became an accredited psychologist in her home state of Georgia, is favored by those who knew her.
