- Kitty Jung - American Adult Actress (Born October 24, 1984 in US). She is known for a huge number of adult films, as well as her small size.This has been contrasted against male adult star John Holmes who was known for his largess. There is no truth to the rumor that they were in the same movie as she was only a child when he died on March 13, 1988. See Wikipedia entry for John Holmes.There are very few details about the actress online despite her huge amount of starring roles in films so will include a few links, although any online search that allows adult results will explode with her films.

A day after she picked it up from the dealership, her car lost power suddenly, veered into oncoming traffic, was struck by another vehicle, and rolled into a creek. Melton was killed in the accident.At the request of Melton’s parents, Lance Cooper launched an investigation into her death. When Cooper initially filed Melton v. General Motors against GM and the dealership that serviced Brooke’s vehicle, he believed the accident was caused by a defect related to a power-steering recall issued by GM one week before the accident. But Cooper retained experts who determined that the real culprit in the fatal accident was a defective ignition switch that caused the car to turn off suddenly while Melton was driving. Cooper then showed that GM had known about the deadly ignition defect before the accident, exposing a corporate cover-up and federal regulatory lapse that led to GM recalling over 2.5 million cars, a Congressional investigation, and a large (but confidential) settlement to compensate the Melton family on September 21, 2013."
