Go ahead and admit it.
I’m pretty fucking good at this.
A year ago, in this same column, I wrote about 15 fresh-faced performers who I believed would elevate significantly in 2024 and establish themselves in the industry. Fast forward to November—specifically, AVN’s nominations party at the Avalon in West Hollywood.
When the finalists for the organization’s coveted Best New Starlet award were revealed, I realized that nine of the names appeared in this column.
So, yes, I correctly predicted nine of the 15 Best New Starlet selections 11 months before they were even picked by the committee. And it would’ve been 10 if Serena Hill didn’t get absolutely hosed, but it’s still pretty damn impressive if you ask me.
So … let’s see if I can do it again.
Here’s a list of performers who are making all the right moves after debuting either in late 2023 or anytime in 2024. Also, this is for super-new talents, so don’t expect to see any nominees for AVN’s Best New Starlet award on this list.
