Rebecca Lord (born February 16, 1973) is the stage name of a French pornographic actress who has been active since 1993. After moving to the U.S., she achieved popularity in the porn industry there.
[on making indie film I Am a Sex Addict (2005)] It didn't really affect my career, but during the shooting it confirmed what I thought before: porn actors are performers, not actors per se.

My job is to [have sex] in front of the camera. I am not a trained actress.

There are probably bad people in our biz, as there are bad people in any industry but I never felt exploited. It probably happens, like in any other biz, but then I strongly think that if some girls feel this way, it's just because they let people exploit them. Nobody forced me to choose this business and nobody forced me to make a career out of it. I did, and the guy/girl that is going to exploit me is yet to be born!

I think people should remember that marriage is not only about sex. It's a big part of it, but it's not everything. It's also about love. And we don't have much love in the porn industry.

[on why she became an adult film actress] My family was very Catholic. It's not an excuse. It's just that I'm looking for a reason and sex was shameful. They didn't talk to me. Never. They always kept me at home. I never could go to parties with friends. I think it could be from that.

In France I didn't work out so well. It's mostly amateur so they don't have things, like money, or towels. And they treat the girl like she's a piece of meat.

Rebecca was forced to leave the United States when her visa expired during the production of I Am a Sex Addict (2005) in 2003. This resulted in director Caveh Zahedi having to make a quick trip to Paris to film the final scenes, as he explains in the movie.

French director David Caroll initially named her Rebecca Lords because he was a big fan of Traci Lords, but he mistakenly left the "s" off her last name when he made the credits of her first film, so she has stayed Rebecca Lord.

A former professional make-up artist, she entered adult movies by answering an ad in a French newspaper in 1992.

Throughout her porn career she has remained happily married to the same man who was her boyfriend since she was 17 years old. He also is the producer of her films.
