Silvia Saint's first movie was shot in Prague for Private Media, and was a great success. From there, Silvia Saint moved across the Atlantic where she spent over three years on U.S. soil.

She went to a casting session for an American porn production company, and she soon found herself in Frank Thring's 'Lee Nover: Search for the Perfect Breasts'. After some layouts in 'High Society', 'Swank', 'Cheri' and 'Club International',Silvia Saint hit the jackpot in 1996, when she became a 'Penthouse' Pet in the Czech 'Penthouse' magazine. In 1998, she won the 'Penthouse Pet' award in the American issue of the magazine.

Much of Silvia Saint's work includes anal sex and she is noted for her performance of oral sex, lesbian themed films as well as interracial scenes.

In May 2000, Saint announced that she was leaving the porn industry. She moved to Prague, Czech Republic and continued to perform in many girl-girl scenes after 2001.

Saint was awarded a lifetime achievement award at Torino Sex 2005, Turin's second annual Delta of Venus Fair.
