Porn Stars On DVD Vol. 1

Sean Michaels

Sean Michaels (born Andre Allen, on February 20, 1958, in Brooklyn, New York) is a pornographic actor. He moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in order to begin his career in the porn industry, which he has worked in from 1989 to the present. He specializes in interracial adult films having been cast with such popular Caucasian porn starlets as Tami Monroe, Ashlyn Gere, Juanita Chong, Chessie Moore, Rebecca Bardoux and Cheri Taylor among others. He has also been a director of adult films since 1991 and has appeared in over six hundred porn movies.

He is one of the few African-American actors in the adult industry who is uncircumcised, aside from Sledge Hammer and Charlie Mac, both of whom have been working for a shorter time than Michaels.

Early in his career Michaels was billed as being the son of former black porn star Long Dong Silver (Daniel Arthur Mead) but actually he is two years older than Mead.

According to an adult film news web page, in 2003, Michaels was issued a cease and desist order by World Wrestling Entertainment on the use of his name due to the similarity it had to WWE wrestler Shawn Michaels. According to the same adult film web page, Sean's name was already registered as a trademark, while Shawn Michaels had not registered his moniker.

He is known for his performances in oral and anal sex films.

He is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, and the XRCO Hall of Fame.

Currently Sean Michaels is working a project called Sean Michaels University. His goal is to train those interested about getting into the adult industry. As quoted from their main website "From producer to performer, we teach it all."

Jenna Haze

She grew up mainly in La Habra, California, though she also spent time in Lancaster, California and Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. She is of mixed Spanish, German, and Irish descent.

Jenna grew up the youngest of four in a single parent household. She first experienced vaginal intercourse with a boy at the age of 14 just to get it past her. Her first anal experience occurred not long after, at least according to an interview in one of her pornographic videos. By age 15 she had dropped out of high school and started working at a fast food restaurant and a variety of low wage service sector jobs.

When she turned 18 Haze tried stripping for a day, later recounting that she did not enjoy being a house girl, nor giving lap dances to men she had to pretend to like, and did not make enough money to continue at it. However, she's also stated that she was a big fan of porn since even before she started working in the porn industry, and when asked by friends in 2000 what her preferred moniker would be if she were an adult actress, offered "Jenna Haze" in honor of her then fiance (surname Hayes) and Jimi Hendrix's song "Purple Haze".

She had actually planned on performing in a couple of scenes for the Shane's World series with her fiance, but he decided against it at the last moment. At the age of 19, and no longer in a serious relationship, Haze was introduced to then porn agent Dez at a favorite nightclub in Anaheim, California; and on July 19, 2001, just two days later, performed in her first porn scenes in Oral Adventures of Craven Moorehead 8 and Service Animals 4.

As with other modern female porn-stars, like Gauge, Allie Sin, Aurora Snow and Taylor Rain, Jenna garnered attention for her enthusiastic performances involving anal sex, semen swallowing, creampies, double penetration and ass-to-mouth. She was signed as a contract star with Jill Kelly Productions in April 2002 and performed exclusively with women after forming a serious off-screen relationship with an industry cameraman. Her contract with JKP was not renewed in April 2005, and by June she announced she was happy to be independent once again, and would likely return to performing in boy/girl in addition to lesbian scenes.

Jenna has appeared on the HBO show Pornucopia, which is a six part documentary special featuring the pornography industry in California.

In 2006, Jenna released her first boy-girl film in over three years, Jenna Haze Darkside released by Jules Jordan video.

Cindy Crawford (Pornstar)

Using your real name in porn is never a good idea; that is, unless your real name is also the name of a famous model, lucky for Cindy! Born in Las Vegas, this blonde tramp Crawford found her way into the porn business in 2002, and rocked the industry with her intense scenes and ability to take on numerous partners at once.

Mercedes Ashley

Alexis Amore

Born in Lima, Peru, Amore and her parents moved to Redondo Beach, California when she was nine years old.

She attended a Christian high school in Hermosa Beach and she was a cheerleader during her time there. At 15, she began her modeling career as a model for Nordstrom and was featured in their fliers and publications. She continued modeling for catalogs, finding it enjoyable. She had a breast augmentation prior to beginning her pornographic career.

Around 1998, during an audition for an HBO production, the person auditioning her suggested that she audition for Playboy, where she became a model for Playboy TV. While working on Playboy's Nightcalls, she interviewed Jewel DeNyle and Alexa Rae about the pornographic industry. Comforted by their replies and wanting to experience it for herself, she contacted Vivid Entertainment and was hired for her first film (The Watcher 6) two days later in November 1999 as one of her first seven porn videos.

In January 2003, she re-entered the industry after a short hiatus and signed exclusively with Jill Kelly Productions (JKP) and began in February 2003. She eventually left the company a year later and signed another exclusive contract with Anabolic. This latter contract included not only performances on video, but also included directing; her directorial debut being Lascivious Latinas.

As of early 2006, Amore infrequently writes for AVN Insider, is a contract girl for Metro/Video Team (www.videoteam.com), and has a new sex toys contract with California Exotic Novelties. For some reason another good friend of hers (and porn actress) Olivia O'Lovely refers to her as "Wifey."

Lexington Steele

Lexington Steele, is an African-American pornographic actor and director. Best known for his exceptionally large penis, he is the only actor to have won the AVN Male Performer of the Year Award three times.

He is a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. He started to act in adult movies in the latter part of 1997, in New York City. He moved to Los Angeles and joined the industry full-time in March 1998.

Initially he shot mainly for the companies West Coast Productions and director Spunky. Later, he appeared on videotapes produced by Anabolic and Diabolic. He is notorious for his dramatic screams upon ejaculation.

Steele won AVN Male Performer of the Year Awards in 2000, 2002 and 2003, the only actor to win three times. In 2005, Steele was awarded the AVN Award for Best Anal Scene and the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) Award for Best Sex Scene, Couple for a scene he did together with his co-star Katsumi in "Lex Steele XXX 3". Other XRCO Awards he has won are best Male Performer and Best Threeway, both of which he won in 2001.
