Jenna Marie Massoli (born April 9, 1974), known professionally as Jenna Jameson, is an American model, former pornographic film actress, businesswoman, and television personality who is best known for her appearances on reality television show The Hills.
She has been dubbed “The Queen of Porn” and “The World's Most Famous Adult Entertainment Performer.” She is the most well-known adult entertainment performer in the world.
She began acting in erotic videos in 1993, following a successful career as a stripper and glamour model prior to that. By 1996, she had received the “Top Newcomer” award from each of the three major adult film organizations, bringing her total to three.
After winning more than 35 adult-video awards over the years, she was inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) and Adult Video News (AVN) Halls of Fame, among other honors.
She and Jay Grdina co-founded the adult entertainment company ClubJenna in 2000. She married and divorced Jay after their marriage ended in acrimony. Initially, just a single website, this company grew to include the management of similar websites for other celebrities and the production of sexually explicit videos in 2001.
The first of these films, Briana Loves Jenna (starring Briana Banks), was recognized at the 2003 AVN Awards as the best-selling and best-renting pornographic film of 2002, according to the organization. ClubJenna generated revenues of US$30 million in 2005, with profits estimated to be half that amount.
It was through a minor role in Howard Stern's 1997 film Private Parts that Jameson first broke into the mainstream of pop culture, and he has continued to do so.
In addition to several guest-hosting and guest-starring roles on various television shows, she continued to make public appearances. Jenna's American Sex Star reality show, which aired on Playboy TV and featured aspiring porn stars competing for a ClubJenna contract, was hosted by her.
She spent six weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list in 2004 with her autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, which was published in 2004.
At the 2008 AVN Awards, Jameson announced her retirement from the pornography industry, stating that she would never return to the industry again.
Despite the fact that she no longer appears in pornographic films, she began working as a webcam model in 2013 after leaving the industry.
Jenna Jameson's Early Life
She attempted to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a Las Vegas showgirl, but she was rejected by most shows because she did not meet the standard height of 5 feet 8 inches at the time (173 cm). The Disney Parks employee was hired at the resort, but she left after two months due to concerns about the work schedule and salary.
When her boyfriend, Jack, suggested that she apply for dance jobs, she did so. In 1991, she began dancing in Las Vegas strip clubs while using a fictitious identification card to conceal her age.
After being turned down for membership at the Crazy Horse Too strip club due to her orthodontics, she removed her braces with pliers and was subsequently accepted. Her earnings grew to US$2,000 per night after six months, and she graduated from Bonanza High School in the summer of 2007.
She began performing under the stage name “Jennasis” as a dancer, and she later adopted the name as the name of a company that she founded (“Jennasis Killing Co.”). When it came to deciding on a permanent professional name, she said, “I'm not sure.” “I needed to come up with a catchy moniker. I didn't want to be associated with a pornographic character. After that, I sat down, opened the phone book, and thumbed to the J's because I wanted the number to match my first name as closely as possible.”
James was on her list, but she passed on “Jenna James” because it “sounds too porno” Right under that was the word ‘Jameson,' which she recognized as the name of a whiskey she enjoys and thought to herself, “Ok, that's perfect.” Later that night, she ran into her brother at work, and she inquired as to what he thought of the name “Jenna Jameson” Then he added, “I'm drinking Jameson right now.” After that, the moniker became established.
In addition to dancing, she began posing for nude photographs for photographer Suze Randall in Los Angeles later in 1991 with the goal of being accepted into Penthouse. After her photographs were published in several men's magazines under a variety of aliases, she decided to leave Randall because she believed he was “a shark.”
In high school, she began experimenting with drugs, including cocaine, LSD, and methamphetamine, often in the company of her brother (who was addicted to heroin) and, on occasion, her father.
During her four-year relationship with her boyfriend, her addiction grew worse. At some point, she ceased to eat properly and became too thin to continue modeling, and Jack dumped her in 1994.
A friend helped her into a wheelchair and transported her to her father, who was then living in Redding, California, for detoxification. Her father did not recognize her when she arrived at the airport and did not recognize her when she got off the plane.
