Early life
Silvia Saint was born Silvie Tomčalová on 12 February 1976, in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic).[4] She grew up as an only child during the country’s communist era and faced significant hardship, including poverty and the death of her father during her early childhood.[9][10]

Saint's early films were shot in Europe, many for Private Media Group.[4][5] She performed in a Private Media Group sex in space-themed pornographic film The Uranus Experiment: Part Two.[4] The film featured around 20 seconds of Saint and Nick Lang having sex in freefall (the scene was shot during a parabolic flight).
