Ginger Lynn (born Ginger Lynn Allen, December 14, 1962) is an American pornographic actress, remembered for her work in the 1980s. She also had occasional roles in low budget B-movies. AVN has ranked her at #7 in a list of the 50 greatest pornstars of all time.

Allen moved to California in 1982 after hearing about her grandfather’s heart attack. After her grandfather died, she became angry at him for leaving her when she felt she needed help the most, as he had been the only positive male role model in her life. A friend of hers, Brian, came to live with her and became the “first nice boyfriend” she ever had. However, Lynn was the major financial supporter in the relationship and needed to find a better paying job. When she answered an advertisement from the World Modeling Agency in September 1983, she was immediately hired and did a spread for Penthouse. This made her visible to the adult film industry.

After ending her porn career, she began using her full name of Ginger Lynn Allen and found work in a variety of B movies. She had a late career comeback to the porn industry and made a short series of movies. During this two-year period she toured the country doing interviews for radio shows and appearances at adult stores.
