Biography: Angelica Costello is a porn star who was the Penthouse Pet of the month for June 1999. She is sometimes credited as Venus Rising or Crystal Craft.
This leggy brunette started her career by dancing at a club in Las Vegas. She left Las Vegas for Los Angeles, working first as a runway model and then an adult magazine model, before she began acting in adult films in 1999. Her first hardcore film was for Ed Powers in More Dirty Debutantes 96. She was boosted to porn star status with her starring role as Laura Croff in Jewel Raider, an X-rated adaptation of the successful Tomb Raider franchise. She has appeared in at least 250 adult titles, including many fetish videos. Her official website lists her ethnicity as Italian and Indian.
She has also appeared in numerous softcore projects for DVD, in fan made music video satisfaction by Benny Benassi which had an actual sex scene of her and costar Voodoo; and cable television.
Originally well-known in the industry for her all-natural figure, Costello opted for breast implants in 2004. She has said in interviews that she greatly prefers pornography to modeling.
Venus was also known as `Jewel` in several Pirate Magazine hardcore pictorials during the early 21st century. These shoots are valuable as they provide a peek at her unaltered, large-aureolaed breasts which were enlarged soon thereafter.
