Lynn Roberts Bio
Lynn Roberts was an American adult model and porn actress. She was born Barbara Ann Jones Peckinpaugh on February 15, 1960, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, United States. She has also been worked professionally as Amber, Aubrey Turner, Barbara Parks, Barbara Peckinpaugh, Chrissy, Nancy Peters, Suzannah Britton, and Susanna Britton.
Lynn Roberts stepped into the Penthouse spotlight in April 1984 as a featured model at 24. Appearing as adult model and porn actress, Lynn brought an established professional identity to a feature built around her 33-24-36 figure, green eyes and brown hair.
Some women belong naturally to one world. Lynn Roberts moved between several. Born Barbara Peckinpaugh and also working under other professional names, she occupied that intriguing borderland where nude modeling, adult entertainment, erotic cinema, and mainstream Hollywood briefly overlapped. Her image carried the unmistakable voltage of early-1980s glamour—bold, polished, and a little dangerous—yet her career never settled comfortably into a single category. That uncertainty is part of what makes her story so compelling.
As Lynn Roberts, she became associated with adult modeling and film at a moment when the boundaries between erotic magazines, cable productions, exploitation cinema, and conventional screen work were unusually porous. Her appeal was not built around an elaborate public persona; it came from visual confidence and adaptability. She could inhabit the heightened fantasy of adult photography, then step into a scripted production where expression, timing, and character mattered just as much as appearance.
The most recognizable mainstream credit attached to Barbara Peckinpaugh is Brian De Palma’s Body Double from 1984, a film whose fascination with voyeurism, performance, and constructed identity now feels almost uncannily appropriate for her own career. She also appeared in Shadows Run Black, Special Request, Best Chest in the West, Roller Blade, and later Penthouse Love Stories in 1986, where she was credited as a therapist’s assistant. Those projects placed her across several corners of the era’s independent and erotic-film landscape, giving her résumé a breadth that went well beyond conventional adult work.
What remains interesting about Lynn Roberts is precisely that crossover. She was never simply one thing: not only an adult performer, not only a nude model, and not only an actress appearing at the fringes of Hollywood. Barbara Peckinpaugh moved through all of those spaces during a period when Penthouse-style glamour was becoming increasingly intertwined with video, erotic cinema, and mainstream pop culture. Her career captures that moment perfectly—glamorous, unconventional, and difficult to fit into a single frame.
