| In the adult movie entertainment business, Jenna Jameson is undisputedly regarded and one of the most successful stars in the world, acting in over 1000 pornographic films in a career spanning around ten years. Jenna was born in 1974, in Las Vegas, to an Italian police officer father and a Las Vegas showgirl mother, who died when Jenna was three. Jenna undertook ballet classes during her childhood, a training which stood her in good stead when she became a stripper at the age of 16. Unfortunately during these dancing days, she fell prey to drugs, becoming a regular user. After kicking the habit with her fathers help, she posed nude for magazines like Hustler and Penthouse.
Jenna had her first break when she was selected by an adult film production company, Wicked Pictures, resulting in critical acclaim after only a few films and major industry awards in 1996. Thereafter, Jenna bagged small roles in a couple of mainstream movies and was also seen during an episode of the Extreme Championship Wrestling, all alongside her flourishing adult film career. In 2002, Jenna provided the voiceover for a character, Candy Suxxx, in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In 2004, Jenna co-wrote her bestselling autobiography with Neil Strauss, titled ‘How to make love like a porn star: A cautionary tale’. Her characteristic film moaning was converted into downloadable ringtones in 2005.
In 2005, Jenna made her debut as a director, with the release of ‘The Provocateur’. At present, she co-owns ClubJenna, a web portal and movie company, along with her husband Jay. Jenna is also the host of Playboy channel’s American Sex Star program. Jenna’s movies are known for their stylish and professional touch and are popular across the globe. They are distributed worldwide as VHS cassettes and DVDs. |
