Stormy Daniels (born Stephanie Gregory Clifford[1][5] in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on March 17, 1979[2]), also known as Stormy Waters and simply Stormy, is an American pornographic actress, screenwriter,[6] and director. In 2009, a recruitment effort led her to consider challenging incumbent David Vitter for the 2010 Senate election in her native Louisiana.

Early life

Daniels' parents divorced when she was four. She was subsequently raised by her mother. Daniels has said of her childhood that she "came from an average, lower-income household...there [were] days without electricity".[7] She attended a magnet school in Louisiana[4] and was the editor of her high school paper[8] and president of the 4-H club.[citation needed]

Career

Daniels began stripping at age 17 at a club in Baton Rouge[4] then expanded to become a feature performer in September 2000.[citation needed] She chose her stage name to reflect her love of Mötley Crüe, whose bassist, Nikki Sixx, named his daughter Storm.[9] While working as a feature she met with Devon Michaels, who was doing lesbian scenes in a pair of upcoming movies — one for Wicked Pictures and one for Sin City, and invited Daniels to accompany her.[10] Daniels accompanied Michaels to her Wicked shoot, where she met Brad Armstrong and co-starred with Michaels in her Sin City scene, American Girls Part 2. Afterwards, Armstrong invited Daniels to stay out with him[10] where she continued doing lesbian-only scenes.

In July 2002, she was cast as the lead in a feature film for Wicked Pictures called Heat, where she did her first heterosexual sex scene, and in September of the same year she signed an exclusive contract with Wicked.[10] In 2004 she won the Best New Starlet Award from Adult Video News, which was a complete surprise to Daniels, as she was so sure Jesse Jane would win she made a $500 bet with another porn starlet.[11] She has directed for Wicked since 2004, and is their leading performer.[12]

She has appeared in several men's magazines including Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse, High Society, GQ, and FHM. She has also written for FHM. Daniels also appeared in an episode of Real Sex where she is seen participating in 2001 Miss Nude Great Plains Contest.[citation needed]

In early 2007, she appeared in Dirt on the FX Network, where she played a stripper who helps to set up a basketball player played by Rick Fox.[13] Later in 2007 Daniels appeared in Maroon 5's music video for their song "Wake Up Call" as a pole dancer. She appears in the film The 40-Year-Old Virgin when the main character (Steve Carell) watches her in the video Space Nuts: Episode 69—Unholy Union, and then tries dreaming about her. A deleted scene on the Virgin DVD includes her having dinner with producer Seth Rogen in a parody of My Dinner with Andre. She plays a Las Vegas lap dancer in Knocked Up, alongside fellow porn star Nautica Thorn. In 2009, she appeared in the fifth episode of the Starz show Party Down, playing an award-winning adult film actress.

Personal life

She was married to Mike Moz, a publicist in the adult entertainment industry.[14] On July 25, 2009, Daniels was arrested in Tampa after an assault on her husband.[15][16] Eventually, they were divorced. In November 2011, Daniels filed for a restraining order against her now ex-husband, Moz (real name Michael Mosny), allegeding that Moz had attacked her at an earlier 'red carpet' event and then had a friend try to steal her car. A hearing on this application has been scheduled for December 22, 2011, in Los Angeles. [17]

Politics

Main article: United States Senate election in Louisiana, 2010

A group of fans attempted to recruit Daniels to run against Republican Senator David Vitter in Louisiana in 2010.[18] The recruitment process was centered around the website DraftStormy.com.[19] On May 21, 2009, she formed an exploratory committee.[20] Daniels was unaffiliated with any party until April, 2010 when she declared herself as a Republican.[21] She made several listening tours around Louisiana to focus on the economy, as well as women in business and child protection[22] and stated that if elected, she would likely retire from the adult industry.[23] On July 28, 2009, it was reported that her campaign manager had been targeted by a car bomb attack.[24] She announced on April 15, 2010 that she would not be running for Senate, saying she could not afford a run for the Senate seat and stating that the media never took her candidacy seriously.[5]
