Nikki Fritz (April 7, 1963-Feb. 25, 2020), also known as Sage Gallegos,[1] was an American actress[2],,[3][4] web-mistress and dog lover.[5].[6][7][8][9]
Early Life
Ms. Fritz was born in Pittsburgh, PA and raised in Homestead, Florida. Her mother held some important administrative role for the DEA or the FBI.[10] Reportedly, she rejected her given first name, emancipated herself at age 16, and left for Hollywood.[10]
Film Career
Circa 1983, Ms. Fritz began a 20 year career with the film "Spring Break." She took her name from a now closed strip club in California called "Fritz, That's it." Although she had mainstream appearances, Ms. Fritz also worked extensively as a body double and perhaps saw her greatest fame appearing in erotic thrillers and B-movie comedies. Notably, Ms. Fritz appeared as lead character Trina in the 2000 Cinemax series "Nightcap." Ms. Fritz' Trina was one of three partners who owned a bar and engaged in erotic adventures with patrons. Ms. Fritz balanced eroticism with drama beautifully. Notably, her character Trina displayed emotional depth-such as when she discovered an old flame having an affair with a fellow bar partner and roommate -or confronted another man who was carrying on a "two-timing" relationship with that same partner. Ms. Fritz once said, "With all the stipulations out there that you can't do nudity and be a successful actress, I want to prove all of that wrong. I can be naked, I can do erotic films, I can be sexy, and still be an intelligent woman who is taken seriously as an actress." But Ms. Fritz further embraced her sexy side and opened and maintained a website NikkiFritz.com for nearly 15 years.[11] Ms. Fritz' mainstream appearances included "Beverly Hills, 90210", "Go".[12] Tane McClure, who appeared with Ms. Fritz in "Go", was also a lead in "Nightcap", ironically enough, named "Nikki."
Other notable roles include "Bikini Drive-In", "Sinful Obsession", and "The Bare Wench Project" (including three sequels.) Nikki Fritz also appeared on the Howard Stern Show.[13]
Ms. Fritz would also embrace her B-Roles and appear at New Jersey's famous "Chillercon."[14]
Later Life
After Ms. Fritz left acting and modeling, she changed her name to Sage Gallegos and opened a dog grooming business, while also working as a dog trainer and rescuer.[10][1][15] As she would recall to a former film industry colleague, Ms. Gallegos apparently found true joy and calling in this endeavor.[1][10]
Death
Ms. Gallegos battled cancer for many years.[16] She eventually lost her battle on February 25, 2020.
