Lexus Locklear, born Brandi Janeen Sommerville on March 6, 1976, in Ventura, California, is a retired American adult film actress and model. Raised in Pennsylvania, and 5'9" by 15, she went to NYC to attempt to sign with a modeling agency like Wilhelmina Models or Ford. She began stripping at 18 in Pennsylvania, where she would meetJulia Ann, who recommended her to Vivid owner Steven Hirsch. She would enter into the adult film industry in 1994 at age 18, signing as a "Vivid Girl" with Vivid Entertainment, per IMDb and IAFD. Her signing was heralded by Vivid, comparing her toJanine Lindemulder, who was their biggest star in 1994. She took the name Locklear forHeather Locklear.She appeared in approximately 54 films, including The Mobster’s Wife (1998), Pleasureland (1996), and Big Island Blues (1997), known for her tall 5’9” frame, blonde hair, blue eyes, enhanced 36D-24-34 figure, tattoos (script on upper right breast, flowered band on left ankle), and performances in hardcore scenes, per IAFD and FamousFix. A Penthouse Pet of the Month in May 1996, she also modeled for Fox, Cheri, Swank, and High Society, per IMDb. Locklear only shot for Vivid and avoided harder scenes. She only did three anal scenes and her first one was billed as the $100,000 scene since Vivid paid her that amount for the act. She was often a "box cover girl" meaning a girl who was put on the cover of a video since her looks could sell or rent it.Fans praised her as “a blonde bombshell,” noting her Pleasureland role (comment: “One of my very first porn crushes,” user: 32Deez). A 2024 X post called her “easily the hottest pornstar ever!” (@RetroPornFan). AVN (1996) described her as “a tall, captivating supermodel performer.” A Babepedia user (2025) noted, “Her boob job made her hotter,” per Burrito_Jones. The Rialto Report lauded her “striking presence and brief but impactful career,” cementing her as a 1990s adult cinema figure.Locklear retired from adult films in 1999 after her last Vivid contract expired. At only 23, she married a rich real estate developer who didn't want her to continue filming. In a 2001 AVN interview, famed adult actor Peter North mentioned Locklear as one of his favorites. "She retired right before 2000. I heard she married some real estate tycoon and never needed to work again". After 2008, she transitioned to a career as a registered nurse in Bakersfield, California, under the name Brandi Rian Phillips by 2012, per FamousFix. There was some minor blowback when she first signed with Vivid in 1994 since they heavily promoted her age being 18, which some felt was unseemly. A minor controversy was that Locklear andJenna Jamesondid not get along and never appeared in the same scene. Jameson was booked to shoot a girl/girl pictorial in Penthouse with Locklear in 1996, but felt Locklear was stuck up and was mean to her for no reason. Jameson refused to shoot with Locklear and would never shoot a scene with her over their careers. She dated Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro (1998) and had a lesbian relationship withTaylor Hayes(1999), and later married a rich real estate developer in 2000, per WhosDatedWho. As of August 5, 2025, Locklear, now 49, lives privately with no active social media presence, her work preserved in 1990s adult film archives.Awards & Honors: Lexus LocklearAward Wins & Honors1996 – Penthouse Pet of the Month (May)Award NominationsNo official AVN, XRCO, or major award nominations publicly documentedLegacy & RecognitionDebuted in 1994 at age 18 and quickly became a contract star with Vivid EntertainmentKnown for stunning blonde looks, curvy physique, and strong print appearances in magazines like Penthouse, Fox, and SwankFeatured in over 100 adult films from 1994 to 1999 before retiring during her peakRecognized by fans retroactively for her iconic aesthetic and sex appeal in 1990s adult entertainment
