About Channone

Valerie Schmitt, born in France on September 2, 1974, is a former French adult film performer and model who adopted the stage name Channone. Her early life in France included a childhood aspiration to become a nun, as she shared in an interview with Private. She entered the adult entertainment realm in 1993, at the age of 19. Her early film work included titles such as Private Gold 25: When the Night Falls and L'Indécente aux Enfer, both released in 1997, according to information from IMDb and Babepedia.

Operating under various aliases including Chamonie, Channene, Channon, Chanone, Chantille, Chaonnone, Eva, Chamonie Channene, Chonnon, and Channon Chanone, she participated in approximately sixty films between 1994 and 2004. Notable among these were Chateau de Passion (1996), Triple X Video 6 (1995), and The Tower (1995). She was recognized for her dark hair, brown eyes, her five-foot-five stature, a weight of 110 pounds, and her physical measurements of 34B-24-34. Occasionally, a tattoo was visible on her right buttock, likely a temporary marking, according to details from IAFD and EGAFD. To distinguish herself in the competitive European adult film landscape, she made the decision to cut her hair short, believing it would help her stand out.

Fans often lauded her as a captivating French talent possessing considerable energy. Her scenes in Chateau de Passion, in particular, drew praise from viewers. A 2024 social media post recognized her as a significant figure in 90s adult cinema, specifically referencing her appearance in Triple X Video 6. EGAFD, in 2023, characterized her as a performer who was both dynamic and exuded a seductive appeal. The Rialto Report once described her, alongside Liza Harper and Rebecca Lord, as being among the most prominent French adult film actresses working in the United States during the 1990s.

Her on-screen work encompassed a range of scenes, including anal, group, and lesbian performances, frequently characterized by an intense and unrestrained passion, as noted by Boobpedia. Channone's career involved collaborations with notable performers like Rocco Siffredi and Laura Angel, and she worked with prominent studios such as Private, Marc Dorcel, and VTO, according to IAFD. She frequently traveled between Europe and the United States, and was among a select group of French performers who maintained a consistent presence in American adult films.

Channone retired from the industry in 1997. Now 50 years old as of August 14, 2025, she
