Part one:
The Childhood: I was born in Thousand Oaks, CA (yes, I'm a native) on November 14, 1971. I don't have a problem with giving my real age, because I'm proud to still be alive at this age. I had a real Mr. Rogers childhood, or Norman Rockwell, if you will…Very loving parents, a sister 11 months older than me, and a very active social and recreational agenda. My family went skiing, camping, ATC riding, took trips to Vegas and Tahoe, and all the other fun stuff that families do when the kids are small. I was a popular and smart kiddy throughout the school years, and took ballet classes 6 days a week. I had originally thought I would become a famous ballerina, but I burnt out on the dance trip by 17. Which leads us into…
Part two:
The Hollywood Years: Okay, this section kind of over laps the previous section, so try to stick with me. Straight A student in the mornings, dedicated ballerina in the afternoons, and Hollywood-based band groupie at night. Oh, how I wish I could accurately describe the way Hollywood was back in the days of free-flowing booze, glam rock, and free sex for anyone willing to partake. It was something you had to be there for to fully appreciate, and I made sure I was there for most of it!!! Running away from home, hitch-hiking to the Troubadour, seeing my favorite glam-rock bands, and trying to get one or more of them to have sex with me before the night was over. Yes, I was a true Hollywood groupie!! The bands that were popular during this period were Poison, Warrant, Faster Pussycat, Jetboy, The Zeroes and a whole slew of others that I can't remember the names of. It was life at its finest, and I only wish I had been a little older to experience it more fully. You do the math!! And cum with me into the next section…
Part three:
The Dark Years: This is where everything kind of fell apart for me. I graduated from high school (yes, I was very young still) and moved to Riverside, CA., and found a drug that I liked called "speed". I was addicted by the time I was 19, and that's all she wrote. The next 5 years are very hazy to say the least, but I can tell you that none of it was very fun. If any of you know someone that has turned to drugs, then you know about what it was like for me during these dark, dark times. Drug abuse is a very progressive disease, and it only continues to get worse, until you decide to quit…which leads us to part four…
Part four:
The Sober Years: This is probably the section you have been looking for…My triumphant return to reality, and my debut into the wonderful world of adult. I found sobriety in the shape of a twelve-step program and also in the adult industry. As I've often said in interviews, I think without both of these things I may not have gotten sober. The 12-steps part is self-explanatory, but the porno element is not…so let me try to tell you. I wanted to look good, and live up to my full potential as an adult actress, and in order to do so, I simply had to quit! So, I did!! No, it was not easy, but I am grateful for the people in my life at that time for making it a little easier to go through. My sobriety date is July 7th, 1996, and I look forward to having a long career as a sober member of society. I'm thinking that maybe I should've had five parts to my story, because you undoubtedly want to know more about my career as a porn actress, so let's add…
Part five:
The Porn Years: This is the only open ended part, because its still going, and going well. I made my debut into porn at 25, and after I shrugged off the remnants of my abuse problem, I truly arrived. Maybe because of my colorful past, or maybe just because I was overly ready to start enjoying life to the fullest again, I really made a mark on this industry in a short period of time. As I sit here now, with 8 AVN awards from the past two years, including "Female Performer of the Year" and "Best Actress", with an ongoing gonzo line of my own through Elegant Angel, and with a clear head and an amazing amount of respect from my peers, I have to chuckle to myself, and say "Isn't this life wonderful!!!"
