[edit] Early years
Love was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father, a U.S. Army soldier, was stationed. At age seven, she, her parents, and her five sisters moved to New Haven, Connecticut. According to Love, she graduated from high school at age 16 and then earned a bachelor's degree and two masters[4] She also claims to be a certified public accountant.[5][6]
[edit] Personal life
In a 2007 interview with Gamelink, she said her relationship with her husband was only the third real relationship with a man she had ever had, that theirs was an open relationship, and she likes to play with other women.[7]
[edit] Adult film career
According to IMDb, in addition to starring in porn, Love is also a producer, director, and talent manager. She has acted in more than 250 adult films, and appeared as herself on TV several occasions. She began directing and producing films in 2004.[8] She has also established her own talent agency, Adult Talent Managers,[9] and signed Memphis Monroe, and Lisa Daniels as contract girls. She has said that her agency's representation of gay men in addition to women is unique in the industry.[7]
She is part-owner of a nightclub in Colorado Springs called 13 Pure; it opened in January 2008.[10] In August 2008, she worked on a controversial bisexual film directed by Chi Chi LaRue entitled Shifting Gears. LaRue coined the term "straight-for-pay" (a play on the porn industry term "gay-for-pay"), to characterize actor Blake Riley's liking his first encounter with a woman (Love).[11]
