Anna Malle, born Anna Marie Stout (also known as Anna Hotop or Hotop-Stout) on September 14, 1967, in Havana, Illinois, was raised in Fort Madison, Iowa, in a middle-class family. Of Cherokee, German, and Irish descent, she graduated from Fort Madison High School in 1985. Little is documented about her early education or career aspirations, but she entered the adult entertainment industry after working as an exotic dancer, which provided a pathway to adult film opportunities in Los Angeles.She debuted in the adult industry in 1994 at age 27, adopting the stage name Anna Malle, a play on “animal” to reflect her uninhibited performance style, as she stated in Dirty Debutantes, Vol. 37 with Ed Powers. She appeared in over 360 films, according to IAFD, working with studios like VCA, Vivid Entertainment, and Max Hardcore Productions. She also shot for magazines such as Gent, Fox, Hustler, and Adult Cinema Review. Notable films include Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle (2000), Laura Crotch, Tomb Raider (1998), Swing Life: Luv Boat (1996), and Wildlife 5: L.A. Comeback Splash (1995). She was best known for her energetic lesbian and anal scenes, particularly in Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle with Tony Eveready and her frequent collaborations with Nina Hartley, whom Hartley called her “perfect partner” in a posthumous open letter on Malle’s website.Malle worked with performers like Hank Armstrong (her husband),Nina Hartley,Jeanna Fine, P.J. Sparxx, and Alexander Devoe, who credited her with launching his career in a LukeIsBack.com interview. She directed five films, including titles like Anna Malle’s Dirty Dozen (1998), alongside her acting roles. Her performances were noted for their fiery enthusiasm, earning her a strong fanbase.Physically, Malle stood at 5’7”, weighed 114 pounds, and had a 34D-24-36 figure, with black hair and brown eyes. She had breast augmentation, enhancing her bust to 34D, and sported tattoos, including a floral design on her left breast and another left of her pubes. As a teenager, she chipped her two front teeth, and wore a veneer, which gave her a distinct look. Fans and critics, including those on Babepedia and X, praised her “exotic” Cherokee-Irish look and “uninhibited” energy, with Fox magazine highlighting her as a “fan favorite” in articles from 2000–2003. Her legacy is seen as significant, with Nina Hartley and fans noting her as a 1990s icon for her passionate performances.Controversies were minimal, though she later said she regretted making movies with Max Hardcore due to their intense and extreme nature. She described herself as bisexual in a 2006 Unchain interview and maintained an open marriage with Hank Armstrong, with whom she was romantically linked toJeanna Fine. Her income is estimated to have been a net worth around $200,000–$500,000 at the time of her death, per CelebsAges and CelebAgeWiki, derived from film work, stripping tours, and appearances on HBO’s Real Sex 18 (1997) and the Playboy Channel.Malle retired from adult films in 2005 and was working at a bridal registry at Bloomingdale’s in Las Vegas, Nevada, when she died in a car accident on January 25, 2006, at age 38. She was not wearing a seatbelt, per the Las Vegas Sun. Before she was killed, she had told a friend she was afraid of the Las Vegas traffic and how everyone drove 90mph.
