Jenna Jameson Bio

Jenna Jameson was born on April 9, 1974 as Jenna Marie Massoli. Raised by her father, who was a police officer, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her mother was a showgirl who unfortulately died of skin cancer at 1976, when Jenna was only two years old. The cost of medical therapy was too much for her family which resulted in bankrupcy and even living in a trailer. Her childhood was unhappy one and in 1990, she was even gang raped after a football match. Soon after that she went on to live with her boyfriend Jack, a tattoo artist who made that trademark on her right buttock - double hearts, but her brother was the one to add "Heart Breaker".

Jenna wanted to become a showgirl, just like her mother was but she was rejected most of the time because of not having required height. In 1991 using fake ID, she started working as a stripper. She was quite good at that and just after 6 months, she was earning some $2000 per night. She had chosen Jenna Jameson as her model name by Jameson Whiskey that she likes to drink.

In 1991 she was discovered by famous photographer Suze Randall. Jenna hoped that she would be featured in Penthouse magazine but eventually her pictures started appearing in other men's magazines and she felt being taken advantage off by Suze. She also got addicted to drugs quite heavily. That resulted in severe loss of weight and she was sent to her father in order to undergo a detox treatment.

Her porn career started in 1993 in Andrew Blake's softcore movie where she appeared with Nikky Tyler. She started filming girl-on-girl scenes during 1994 in Up and Cummers 10, but she got offered lot more money for heterosexual acts so she started doing hardcore and first scene was in Cherry Pie. At that time she promised herself never to do any anal scenes, DP or interracial ones, but she is quite known for using sex toys to pump her ass during scenes.

Her career skyrocketed in 1995, when she signed up for Wicked Pictures and started earning $6,000 per movie. With that production company, she made some big-budget movies, including Blue Movie. Jenna won some of the biggest awards in adult biz like AVN Best New Starlet Award, XRCO Best New Starlet award and FOXE Video Vixen award. For a day and a half of filming a single DVD, she earned $60,000 and for one night of nude dancing, $8,000 was a standard.

In 1996 she married male porn star Brad Armstrong but that one didn't last long. Jay Grinda (known as Justing Sterling in adult movies) became man of her chioce.
