[edit] Biography

Kross was born and raised in Sacramento, California. She has described herself in high school as "the book nerd".[2] She began stripping at the age of eighteen at Rick's Showgirls in Rancho Cordova, California, to earn extra money to purchase a pony that was going to be slaughtered.[3] She was later contacted by an agent and started modeling in adult magazines.[4]

Kross was a senior at California State University, Sacramento, when she signed an exclusive performing contract with Vivid Video in November 2006.[4] Her movies with Vivid included Kayden's First Time, Hard Time, and Be Here Now. Unhappy with the company, she became a free agent one year later when she did not renew her contract.[2] After one month of being a free agent, she signed an exclusive contract with Adam & Eve.[4]

Kross has appeared in several episodes of The Block, a reality snowboarding show that aired on G4TV, in which the Vivid Girls went to The Block hotel for a photo shoot. She also appeared on the Gene Simmons' reality show, Family Jewels.[5] She was named Penthouse Pet of the Month for September 2008.[6]

Kross' official web site, ClubKayden.com, launched on September 2, 2008. Alongside a blog she hosts at UnKrossed.com, Kross writes regular updates and opinion columns for MikeSouth.com, an adult industry gossip blog, among other sites.[7]

In September 2008, Kross was charged with grand theft and violations of the California Civil Code involving contracts for purchases of home equity.[8] In July 2009, the grand-theft charge was dismissed and the real-estate-fraud charge was reduced to a misdemeanor; Kross pleaded no contest to the resulting charges and was sentenced to one day in custody and three years of probation.[9]
