Trans Performer Holly Parker Dies at 30

INDIANA—Trans performer Holly Parker, who shot upwards of 30 titles between 2014 and 2018, died Monday at the age of 30, according to close friend and fellow performer Brooke Zanell. "It i[s] with greatest sorrow and devastation that I her sister, inform you the world ... yesterday we lost @TheHollyParker," Zanell posted on Twitter early Tuesday morning. "My right hand man, the bread to my butter, my singing partner, my travel companion, my baby sister has left this earth." Having debuted on GroobyGirls.com in 2014, Parker's credits included scenes for TGirls.xxx, BobsTGirls.com, TransationalFantasies.com and PureTS.com, as well as appearances in movies such as Devil's Film's Transsexual Babysitters 27 and Jay Sin's TS Playground 17 for Evil Angel. Parker's last appearances were in 2018 for Grooby's TGirlPostOp.com, a year after having undergone gender affirmation surgery. “I met Holly years ago when she came to visit L.A.,” Grooby creative and editorial director Kristel Penn said. “We hit it off online beforehand and would chat on occasion, so it felt like meeting an old friend when we finally met in person. Sparky [Snakeden] and I took her out and I remember just how much fun the three of us had together that night. She always brought that same vibrant energy to every TEAs she attended. She and Brooke would bounce around the party like little pixies—it always made me smile. She will certainly be missed.”
