In a move that has fans buzzing with nostalgia, legendary studio Evil Angel has officially launched “Iconic Angels,” a new series dedicated to celebrating the trailblazing performers who defined an era. Kicking off the Hall of Fame-style tribute is none other than the unforgettable Danish powerhouse, Annette Schwarz, who has been named the Iconic Angel for June.
For fans who remember her electrifying reign in the mid-2000s, this is a chance to dive back into the archives and experience her most daring work all over again. For newer fans, it’s a masterclass in fearless performance from one of the greats.
A New Shrine for Studio Legends
The “Iconic Angels” feature isn’t just about throwing old scenes onto a homepage. It’s a curated celebration of the stars who are no longer active in the industry but whose impact is still felt today. It’s a way for Evil Angel to honor its own rich history and the women who built its reputation for edgy, boundary-pushing content.
Evil Angel’s owner, Justin Slayer, explained the vision behind the new series in a statement to AVN.
“Evil Angel has been a star factory for decades… We thought it was important to celebrate the stars who were a big part of our history and success but are no longer shooting for us.”
Slayer revealed that the concept has been building momentum, with legends like Belladonna and Sasha Grey being featured in recent months. The “Iconic Angels” banner now makes it an official, must-see monthly event. “Now we are officially calling them our ‘Iconic Angels,'” he added.
The Fearless Reign of Schwarz
So, why Annette? Anyone who followed the scene during her prime already knows the answer. Annette Schwarz wasn’t just a performer; she was a force of nature. Known for her stunning looks and an appetite for the extreme, she became a top-tier star for the world’s most demanding directors.
The tribute gives members access to her entire Evil Angel catalog—a staggering 41 scenes. This treasure trove includes some of her most legendary performances, such as her work with John Stagliano in Fashionistas Safado, her intense scene for Rocco Siffredi in Rocco: Animal Trainer #23, and her raw performance in the late Jake Malone’s classic, Filthy Beauty 2.
More Than Just a Nostalgia Trip
In an industry constantly chasing the “new new thing,” Evil Angel’s move is a smart and welcome one. It taps directly into the powerful current of nostalgia that keeps fans engaged. In an era of creator-first platforms, a major studio taking the time to curate and honor its own legacy performers reinforces the value of its brand and its massive library.
The fan reaction online has been overwhelmingly positive, with many longtime subscribers thrilled to see their favorites getting the spotlight once again. It’s a reminder that a truly great performance is timeless.
Who’s Getting a Halo Next?
Annette Schwarz is just the beginning. The studio has already teased a lineup of future Iconic Angels that reads like a who’s who of modern porn royalty. Superstars like Riley Reid, Jynx Maze, and Megan Rain are all slated to be honored in the coming months, ensuring that members will have a reason to keep coming back to rediscover the classics.
It’s a testament to the studio’s deep roster of talent and a brilliant way to keep their legacies alive and kicking. As Slayer put it, the response from fans says it all:
“Our members love it, and it gives them the chance to get reacquainted with some of the biggest stars we have ever produced.”
