themusicsover Andrea True (Born Andrea Truden)
July 26, 1943 – November 7, 2011
Andrea True was an adult film actress who scored a massive disco hit with her 1976 record, “More, More, More.” Born in Nashville, Tennessee, True moved to New York City after high school to chase her dreams of being an actress. She succeeded in landing some minor roles, but when times got tough, True made the move into adult movies. She quickly became one of the industry’s biggest stars and appeared in over 60 hardcore films throughout the ’70s and mid ’80s. In 1976, True recorded “More, More, More” and the Andrea True Connection was born. The song quickly became a hit at US and European discos and True found herself performing the track on music countdown shows on television. The record ultimately reached the Top 5 on the US and UK singles charts. And her next two singles, “N.Y. You Got Me Dancing” and “”What’s Your Name, What’s Your Number,” did moderately well as well. In 1980 however, True released a more punk leaning album, War Machine, to very little interest. She attempted a porn comeback during the early ’80s, but found it difficult to compete with so many younger starlets coming into the field. Due to throat issues, True retired from the entertainment business save for a few adult film documentary appearances during the early 2000s. Andrea True was 68 when she passed away on November 7, 2011. Cause of death was not immediately released.
