Jenna Jameson, “The Queen of Porn”, is *the* most recognized model in the adult industry today. To anyone who’s seen her onscreen, or heard her speak, it’s no wonder why. Her stunning beauty, supreme confidence, and business savvy have propelled her to the top.

Jameson was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, the daughter of a police officer father and showgirl mother. Jenna’s mother passed away when she was 3, leaving her to be raised by her father. Jenna started taking dance lessons at a young age, and had an early interest in sexuality gained by taking peeks at her father’s adult magazines. Jenna started her adult career early in life, stripping in Vegas clubs by at the age of 16 with a fake ID.

At the age of 18 Jenna and her father moved out to California, where Jenna started her career in the adult modeling industry, modeling for various adult magazines. Jenna quickly rose within the industry, becoming a star, and helping the adult industry move further into the mainstream, something she cares very much about. As she has said in one interview:

Mini Biography
Jenna was born and raised in Las Vegas by her father, and by the time she was 18, the bright lights were already drawing her in. She studied ballet as a student, but it was stripping that started Jenna on her road to superstardom. Dancing led to nude modeling, and by her 20th birthday Jenna had appeared in dozens of top men’s mags, including Penthouse, Hustler, High Society and Cheri. A visit to a porn set piqued Jenna’s interest in a hardcore career, and Wicked Pictures signed her to an exclusive contract after a bidding war. It took only a few releases for Jenna to become the most popular young starlet around. She catapulted to the top of the porn heap, and in 1996 she scored an unprecedented triple crown by taking home the XRCO Best New Starlet, the F.O.X.E. Video Vixen and the AVN Best New Starlet awards. Jenna has been branching out into more mainstream projects lately, including a featured role in Howard Stern’s Private Parts (1997) film. She remains one of the most popular pornstresses in the industry today.

Personal Quotes
I try my hardest to push the point that I am a feminist. I really think it’s important that people know that the women in this industry are empowered. They run it, man. It’s awesome.

“Is it just me, or is a porn award show just not the right place to be discussing your thoughts on the war?” - Response to a question at the 2003 X-Rated Critics Organization Awards (quoted in “High Society” October 2003)

I know that when I do get pregnant, I won’t step one foot in the adult industry again.
