Emily Willis

Emily Willis is a highly acclaimed American adult film star of Argentine descent, recognized as one of the most talented and versatile performers of her generation before a tragic medical crisis ended her career.
Born Litzy Lara Banuelos on December 29, 1998, in Argentina (now 27 years old as of March 2026), she moved to the United States at age 7, growing up in St. George, Utah, in a religious household. She stands at 5’5″ (165 cm) with a slim 108–114 lb (49–52 kg) frame and natural measurements around 32B-24-34/35. With long brunette hair, brown eyes, flawless skin, and a petite, athletic build, Emily brought an elegant, intense sensuality to her scenes.
She entered the industry in 2017 (at age 19), initially through an introduction via a dating app leading to GirlsDoPorn (a company later embroiled in controversy), before quickly rising with professional work for major studios like Brazzers, Vixen, Blacked, Tushy, Jules Jordan, Evil Angel, and others. Known for her passionate energy, exceptional anal performances, deepthroat skills, interracial scenes, and genuine chemistry, she starred in over 600–700 scenes, earning massive viewership and critical praise.
Her accolades include AVN Best New Starlet (2020 winner), AVN Female Performer of the Year (2021), Penthouse Pet of the Month (May 2019), multiple XBIZ and AVN wins/nominations (including Best Anal Sex Scene and more), and Fleshlight Girl status. She was often hailed for her “butt slut” prowess and versatility across genres.
Emily retired from adult films around 2022 to pursue mainstream opportunities, but in early 2024, while seeking treatment for personal struggles at a Malibu rehab facility, she suffered a cardiac arrest leading to an anoxic brain injury. This left her in a vegetative state initially, now described as permanently disabled — bedridden, nonverbal (though making some sounds), with limited body movement, and under her mother’s care in Utah. Ongoing legal action against the facility (with a tentative settlement reported in early 2026 and trial potentially in May 2026) addresses claims of negligence.
The former top-tier star’s legacy endures through her groundbreaking work and fan adoration, though her life took a heartbreaking turn far too young.
