Editing Moana Pozzi (section)

==Early life==
Pozzi was born in [[Genoa]], Italy, the daughter of Alfredo Pozzi, a nuclear engineer, and Rosanna, a housewife. Her name, Moana, is a Polynesian name meaning "ocean".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.85/cgi-bin/hdict?e=q-11000-00---off-0hdict--00-1----0-10-0---0---0direct-10-ED--4-------0-1lpm--11-en-Zz-1---Zz-1-home-moana--00-3-1-00-0--4----0-0-11-00-0utfZz-8-00&a=d&d=D13432|title=Hawaiian Dictionaries|website=wehewehe.org|access-date=18 July 2018}}</ref> In her youth, Pozzi lived for periods of time in Canada and Brazil, due to the nature of her father's work requiring him to travel. By the time she was thirteen years old, the family had returned to their native Italy, where she finished school. In 1979, a few weeks before her 18th birthday, she gave birth to her only child, a son named Simone, who was raised by her parents and told that his mother was his older sister. The family moved to France in 1980 and Pozzi, then 19 years old, decided to stay in Rome.

In Rome, Pozzi started working as a model and studied acting. Sometimes she performed in television advertisements or as a walk-on in comedy movies.<ref name="NewYorkTimes">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/22/style/media-the-beatification-of-a-porn-star.html|title=The beatification of a porn star|last1=Povoledo|first1=Elisabetta|newspaper=The New York Times|date=22 September 2004|access-date=29 July 2014}}</ref> In 1981, she performed in her first [[Hardcore pornography|hardcore]] movie, ''Valentina, ragazza in calore'' (''Valentina, Girl in Heat''), credited as '''Linda Heveret'''.
