Jenna Haze

Jenna Haze’s Porn Star Biography

Haze spent her early life in Fullerton, California where she was born. She was a good student until she entered junior high, where she admits her "discovery of boys and sex" distracted her so rapidly that she had to drop out of high school and get home schooled. During this time, she held a variety of retail jobs serving as a manager at a fast food joint, stocking shelves at a local Christmas store and even held a job changing oil in a lube shop. Upon turning 18, Haze decided to try her hand at stripping but found it was not something that suited her. Her luck turned around when she was introduced to adult star Peter North and director Craven Moorehead at a nightclub. Moorehead offered her a chance to perform, which she happily accepted, and two days later she performed her first scene in Oral Adventures Of Craven Moorehead 8. The year was 2001, Haze was 19 years old, and she’d just made her XXX debut.

Craving More In Her Career

Haze's agreed to perform oral sex in her first scene on her then agent Slim Shady (Dez) and Moorehead. Despite only agreeing to oral sex, the intensity of the scene convinced her to have sex with both of them on camera. The very next day, she was performing in the film Service Animals 4 with Miles Long.

In 2002 she started working for director Jill Kelly who was so impressed with Haze's performances that she offered the new star an exclusive contract. Other studios caught wind of this arrangement and started throwing their own offers towards Haze, but she decided to go with Jill Kelly Productions due to its lucrative earnings and flexibility package. She thought of Jill Kelly and her studio as a second family and appreciated working for a company operated by a woman. Around this time, she started dating a male industry cameraman which resulted in her dedication to female only roles for a period of three years. At the 2003 AVN Awards, she won "Best New Starlet" and "Best Solo Sex Scene" in Big Bottom Sadie. The first of many awards she would receive during her career.

Becoming A Free Agent

In 2005, when Jill Kelly left the studio she created, Haze became a free agent and no longer was in a relationship with her boyfriend. Haze began performing with male talent again. Because of her many awards and performances, as well as having a role in the HBO Documentary Pornucopia, Haze found herself in high demand. She starred in her first interracial scene with Mr. Marcus in the film Jenna Haze Darkside which won the 2007 AVN Award for Best Vignette Release.

Haze's career began extending into other media formats-most notably as a sex columnist for the adult magazine Fox. Around this time she was also doing some feature dancing which eventually landed her the "Best Feature Entertainer" award at the 2007 Night Moves Awards. Later that year, Jenna Haze Oil Orgy became the first adult film to be released on the Blu-Ray format.

Mainstream Appearances

Beside her porn career, Haze made an impressive crossover into mainstream media. She made an appearance in the mainstream film Superbad as "Vagtastic Voyage Girl 2" and was featured in an erotic photography compilation called Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry. After many more starring roles and subsequent awards, in 2009 Haze and Belladonna hosted the AVN Awards where Haze won Female Performer of the Year.

After the prestigious award, Haze's career didn't slow down. She made an appearance in the mainstream film Crank: High Voltage as an adult star on strike. In 2011, CNBC named her one of the "12 Most Popular Porn Stars, claiming that she is "arguably the most popular performer in porn" while citing her many nominations and awards.

Jennaration X Studios

In 2009, Haze launched her very own production venture Jennaration X Studios, which was distributed by Jules Jordan Video. Haze both directs and performs for Jennaration X Studios. Its first release was Cum-Spoiled Sluts.
