About Jenna Jameson in brief
Jenna Jameson was born on April 9, 1974, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her mother, Judith Brooke Hunt, was a Las Vegas showgirl who danced in the Folies Bergère show at the Tropicana Resort & Casino. Jameson started acting in erotic videos in 1993 after having worked as a stripper and glamor model. She founded the adult-entertainment company ClubJenna in 2000 with Jay Grdina, whom she later married and divorced. Her 2004 autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, spent six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. She announced her retirement from pornography at the 2008 AVN Awards, stating that she would never return to the industry. Although she no longer performs in pornographic films, she has been working as a webcam model since 2013. She has also crossed over into mainstream pop culture, starting with a minor role in Howard Stern’s 1997 film Private Parts. In a featurette on the Zombie Strippers DVD, Jameson indicates she trained in dance for fifteen years. She was a frequent entrant in beauty pageants as a child and enrolled in ballet classes throughout her childhood. In October 1990, when she was 16 years old, she was beaten with rocks and gang raped by four boys after a football game at Fromberg High School. The incident began after she attempted to hitchhike home and that she entered the car of the four boys while believing she would be driven to her home.
She reported being raped a second time while still 16 by her boyfriend Jack’s biker uncle. Her brother Tony, who later owned a tattoo parlor himself, added the inscription “Heart Breaker” to her right buttock. Her first stage name wasJennasis, which she later used as a dancer. She said she had come up with a good name for her professional name, as she was a good dancer. After six months, she removed her braces with pliers and was earning US$2,000 per night, before graduating from Bonanza High School with a B.S. degree. Her father was a police officer at the Las Vegas Sheriff’s Department and program director for KSNV-DT. The cancer treatments bankrupted the family and they relocated in Nevada, Arizona and Montana, usually living in a trailer home or with her paternal grandmother. She left two months after leaving Bonanza due to concerns over the schedule and salary to work at Disneyland Resort. She also had a job at the Crazy Horse Too Too strip club in 1991, though she was rejected from the club because of her orthontia. In 1995, she left the club and went on to work as a showgirl for six months at Bonanza. In 1996, she had won more than 35 adult-video awards, and has been inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization and Adult Video News Halls of Fame. By 2005, ClubJ Jenna had revenues of US$30 million with profits estimated at half that.
