Rolling Stone captured the essence of Jenna Jameson when it said she's "the woman who put the star in porn star". (Rolling Stone, June 20, 2002)
AVN, the adult industry's leading trade journal, concluded that Jenna is the top female adult star of all time. (AVN, January 2002)
Jenna has firm control over her film career. Her production company has an output deal with industry-leader Vivid Entertainment Group and its first feature, "Briana Loves Jenna" immediately soared to the top of both sales and rental charts and was named the top release of 2002 by AVN.
Her second release, "I Dream of Jenna", quickly eclipsed the first.
Jenna's mainstream work includes a feature role in Howard Stern's film hit "Private Parts", a role in the indie horror film "Samhain", a role in Comedy Central's first feature film, "Porn 'n Chicken" two appearances on "Nash Bridges" and a recurring role in the NBC drama "Mister Sterling".
Her stunning beauty has fascinated magazine editors since the start of her career and she has graced over 300 magazine covers and been featured in more than 1,000 magazine articles or pictorials in Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Allure, Jane, Rolling Stone, Revolver, Esquire, Playboy and Penthouse. She writes regular columns for the British, German and American editions of FHM , a magazine that consistently ranks her as one of the 100 most beautiful and sexy women in the world (#22, beating out Catherine Zeta-Jones (56), Julia Roberts (49) and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (25)).
Jenna's Bio
Born in Las Vegas, Jenna (Jennifer Marie Massoli) studied ballet as a child. Her father was a police officer of Italian descent and her mother was a Las Vegas showgirl. Her mother died of cancer when Jenna was three years old. She was a self-described nerd in high school and didn't have a date to her high school prom. But by her late teens she had blossomed into a voluptuous and sultry stunner with an innocent look. She began getting jobs as a model and topless dancer on the Vegas strip. Before long she was dancing at the world-famous Crazy Horse II.
Within a year Penthouse and Hustler had discovered Jenna and run pictorials on her. Soon the offers to do adult movies appeared. She consulted with her father, who encouraged her to follow her conscience, but added, "You know, Jenna, this is a big step. You can't erase this". She decided to forge ahead and became an instant success.
She was voted the Best New Starlet by AVN, XRCO and FOXE - the only actress ever to win the newcomer award from all three groups in the same year. In 2004, Jameson's autobiography, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale" was released. Co-written with Neil Strauss, it was an instant best-seller.
Jenna Jameson has played an important role in bringing adult into the entertainment mainstream and has successfully become an icon in both industries.
Now, she is one of the most famous female porn stars in the world, sometimes given the unofficial title "The Queen of Porn". She is currently the host of Playboy channel's Jenna Jameson's American Sex Star.
