Career

Adult entertainment

[edit]

Brown was stripping at Déjà Vu in Las Vegas, where she danced for about seven months, when she was discovered by porn producer Nicky Starks.[1][2] She entered the adult film industry in 1998. Her first scene was in Bomb Ass Pussy.[2] She initially used the stage name Honey Love.[1] In 2001, she signed an exclusive deal with DBM, a studio for which she did about 19 films.[1] She began using the stage name CoCo Brown in her second film for the studio.[2] She stopped performing in adult films in 2003.[6] She once worked briefly as a dominatrix as well.[5]

Suborbital flight

[edit]

Brown had signed up to go on a suborbital flight in 2016, which would have lasted approximately one hour and would have provided 90 seconds of weightlessness.[8] The flight was to have been arranged by the Space Expedition Corporation (SXC), a Netherlands-based space tourism company.[9][10] This opportunity for her arose in 2012 when she received a "space luncheon" invite by a concierge she knew after another person canceled their appearance at the event.[7] She began training for the flight, with help from XCOR Aerospace, that same year.[8][11] In preparation for the trip, she had to earn a pilot's license.[8] She was to have been the flight's co-pilot.[7] If the trip had taken place as planned, she would have been the first pornographic actress on a suborbital high altitude flight.[12] XCOR ceased operations and filed for bankruptcy in 2017 without flying a single person on their Lynx spaceplane.[13]
