Jenna Jameson (born Jennifer Marie Massoli on April 9, 1974), nicknamed “The Queen of Porn”, is the most successful female adult entertainment star in the world. Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, her father is a police officer and her mother was a Las Vegas showgirl.During her childhood, Jenna attended ballet classes, which helped her future career in dancing. She also was a frequent entrant in beauty pageants and at the tender age of 16, she began dancing in strip clubs with the help of a false I.D.!
Unfortunately, she became involved in drugs during this time, and so, when she was 18 she moved to California, where her father had moved, in a bid to come off drugs. By age 20, and with her father’s blessing, she began modelling nude for magazines such as Hustler, Penthouse and Cheri.
From there, she began making blue movies, and in 1996 won top awards from three major industry organizations. Jameson has also made cameo appearances in some mainstream movies, including Howard Stern’s 1997 film Private Parts.
Taking her career path very seriousely, she debated the merits of porn in 2001 against a panel of anti-porn activists at the Oxford Union, winning the debate 204 to 27.
In 2004, Jameson released an autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale (ISBN 0060539097). Co-written with Neil Strauss, it was an instant best-seller and translated into many different languages.
She currently is co-owner of ClubJenna, a website and movie-production company, along with her husband, porn producer/director Jay Grdina (whose professional pseudonym is “Justin Sterling”).
In August 2005, she launched Club Thrust, an interactive website for her gay fans, which includes videos, galleries, sex advice, gossip, and downloads.
In 2005 she purchased Babes Cabaret, a strip club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
She also dabbles in other ventures, such as her own mobile phone ringtones and producing her own blue movies. Jenna is also host to Playboy channel’s Jenna Jameson’s American Sex Star.
