[edit] Career
[edit] Films
Ayes began her film career in 1985. From 1987 to 1989, the period during which she was most active, Ayes made more than 110 original films — 56 in 1988 alone — but by the early 1990s she was appearing in fewer than 5 films a year. Ayes' last sexual performance in an original film was in 1994.
Most of Ayes' films could be categorized as either black-themed, interracial, or big bust.
[edit] Modeling career
Beside her film appearances, Ayes was a model in men's magazines. She was especially popular in magazines featuring large-breasted women, such as D-Cup, Score, and Juggs. Ayes was also featured in magazines that cater to Black men, such as Players and Black Tail.
During the mid-1990s, Ayes wrote a column, "Sex Talk with Ebony Ayes" for Black Tail.[3]
[edit] Later work
After her retirement from adult films, Ayes worked as a dominatrix in Atlanta, Georgia.[4] She also performed occasionally as a dancer at strip clubs on the East Coast of the United States.[5]
Ayes retired from the adult entertainment industry during the early 2000s.
