[apologies for the delay in responding. my adsl connection is on the fritz, so i'm reduced to a metered dial-up]
it would seem we are talking about two entirely different women, who happen to be similar in appearance (to some, at least). hence, the confusing nature of the attributions made with regard to them, by iafd and some of its reviewers. this erroneous information is what i have been presuming the integrity of my identification upon - up until now, that is. not having met either of the ladies in question, what else is one to do...
the current iafd listing for suzan strong is as follows:
European Cuntinent 5
Fresh Euro Flesh 2
Hustler XXX Video 1
Riviera
Riviera 2
Riviera 3
Rocco: Animal Trainer 3
Rocco's True Anal Stories 9
Video Adventures Of Peeping Tom 22
the woman in 'riviera 3' - gangbanged by four soldiers - IS susan strong. give the man a monkey drummer! this is confirmed in the behind the scenes 'casting' sequence included in the dvd extras of the same title. as you have yourself established, the susan strong of 'riviera 3' does not feature in 'true anal stories 9' (i assume this is what you meant by your reference to TAS 3) 'animal trainer 3' or even 'fresh euro flesh 2'. whereas, the model i had thought to be susan strong, appears in all three. i now believe her proper name to be gabriella kerez.
it seems that iafd have conflated suzan and gabriella, presumably due to the similarity in their appearance, as previously noted. whether the faulty listings or the faulty reviews came first, who knows! an example: gabriella is credited as vanessa in 'animal trainer 3. she shares her scene with a blonde by the name of susanne. gabriel nine, in his review of 'animal trainer 3', assumes this to be an error on the part of those who produced the dvd. so he unilaterally redubs vanessa (in reality, gabriella) susanne

in fact, he goes further than that and calls her SUZAN! gabriel nine has also reviewed 'riviera 3' and it would seem he has mistaken the suzan strong of that show for the gabriella of this one. more fuel for confusion: gabriella is called suzan in 'fresh euro flesh 2': and susanne in 'pick up lines #55'. you may recognise her from the box cover of 'fresh euro flesh 2' as being the performer in the first scene of 'true anal stories 9' and the second scene of 'animal trainer 3'.
thankfully, there is definitive proof of suzan and gabriella's separateness, courtesy of privates 'superfuckers 2' in which they both debuted (according to the dvd production notes). the biographical notes credit 'my' susan strong as gabrielle kerez; the 'riviera 3' susan strong is credited as suzanna (in a scene as a dominatrix). additionally, the commentary dubbed over gabriella's swimming pool scene refers to her as gabriella. unfortunately, iafd credits gabriella for 'superfuckers 2' but not suzan. obviously, it would have helped eliminate much confusion if suzanna had been credited by iafd as suzan strong.
in summation...
suzan strong:
european cuntinent 5
hustler xxx video 1
riviera
riviera 2
riviera 3
madness 1
latex sex
video adventures of peeping tom 22
superfuckers 2
gabriella kerez:
fresh euro flesh 2
rocco: animal trainer 3
rocco's true anal stories 9
superfuckers 2
pick up lines #55
private casting 30
there are a few other credits mentioned elsewhere for both performers but i'm not sure if further confusion hasn't arisen from yet more susan/suzan/susanna/susanne/ type misordering. for instance, i couldn't see suzan strong anywhere in the trailer for anal introductions, even though she has a credit it for in the biog section of 'riviera 3'. similarly, gabriella has a credit for 'animal trainer 2' in the biog section of 'animal trainer 3' although, this too seems to be wrong.
catherine count appears in 'animal trainer 4' and 'animal trainer 7' both of which i have and can confirm. she does not appear in 'animal trainer 3'. this is gabriella in partnership with susanne. meridian is gabriella's partner in 'true anal stories 9'
sidenote: the blonde presenter in the speech dubbed over the beginning of gabriella's scene in 'superfuckers 2' mentions that gabriella has a sister called henriette/henrietta, who features in a private/oddysey production called 'fatal orchid'. she seems to have appeared in numerous other private productions. as yet, i have not been able to find any images of her. one can only hope she has a hook nose or something similarly unmistakable. any more potential for obfuscation, would be an eastern european look-a-like too far, imo.
patronise? could i have stated the differing of my opinion from your own, any more blandly? i did LOOK at my videos/dvds but i was doing so while still basing my deductions upon incorrect information gleaned from the iafd listings and their attached reviews. btw, when you quote the word 'facts', it implies that i have used this word in a high-handed and dismissive fashion towards you, when i never actually used it at all. what i asserted in that post amounts to no more than your own statement of surety re. the identity of ms strong in 'riviera 3'.
many thanx for the tape - it's very much appreciated (and that isn't meant ironically, sarcastically or, dare i say it, patronisingly).
