==Biography==<br />
Haven was born in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]], and raised in a [[Mormon]] family.<ref>{{cite web|title=Annette Haven |url=http://www.annettehaven.net |publisher=AnnetteHaven.net |access-date=April 1, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306080757/http://www.annettehaven.net/ |archive-date=March 6, 2012 }}</ref> Following the dissolution of her marriage, Haven moved to [[San Francisco]], where she worked early on as a nurse's aide, exotic dancer, [[massage parlor]] girl and eventually as a [[stripper]]. While working in one of the strip clubs, she met porn star Bonnie Holiday and moved in with her and Holiday's boyfriend.<ref name="net">[http://annettehaven.biz Official webpage]; accessed July 29, 2015.{{Dead link|date=October 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
She was introduced to the [[sex industry]] through a role in a film called ''Lady Freaks'' in 1973 starring Holiday. Annette Haven went on to work in nearly 100 porn movies, including ''Desires Within Young Girls'' (1977), ''[[Barbara Broadcast]]'' (1977), ''A Coming of Angels'' (1977), ''[[Obsessed (1977 film)|Obsessed]]'' (1977), ''[[Sex World]]'' (1977), ''[[Dracula Sucks]]'' (aka ''Lust At First Bite'') (1978), ''[[Maraschino Cherry (1978 film)|Maraschino Cherry]]'' (1978), ''Charli'' (1981) and ''The Grafenberg Spot'' (1985).<br />
<br />
Haven had a mainstream cameo role in Blake Edwards's ''[[10 (1979 film)|10]]''. Subsequently, she was considered to play the lead female role in ''[[Body Double]]'', but the role went to [[Melanie Griffith]] because [[Brian De Palma]] believed she gave a better dramatic screen test than Haven.<ref name=bodydouble>{{cite news|last1=Baltake|first1=Joe|title='Scarface' De Palma defends 'Body Double'|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=hBJUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vIwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7024%2C8675482|access-date=2 January 2016|agency=Knight-Ridder Newspapers|publisher=Boca Raton News|date=1984-10-29}}</ref> Afterwards she became one of the director's consultants for ''Body Double'' and was a coach for Griffith.<ref name=bodydouble/> Before filming ''Body Double'' De Palma commented, "I'm already thinking of casting. I don't know if there's any good young porno stars out here, but the older ones—Annette Haven, [[Seka (actress)|Seka]]—some of them can really act. And Annette Haven has a terrific body."<ref>{{cite book|title=Brian De Palma: interviews|publisher=[[University Press of Mississippi]]|author=Brian De Palma|author2=Laurence F.
