Bio from Lana's Big Boobs
Darla Crane, real name Shelley Shelnutt, was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up wanting to be an actress or pin-up model. In 1990 she began modeling and doing softcore bondage shoots and got a massive, devoted following. In 1997 she moved behind the camera and began producing, directing editing, and writing videos.
Three years later, Darla was back in front of the camera but now doing hardcore mainstream porn and has moved from pin-up status to cougar/MILF with a sexy grace most women hope to pull off.
