India Summer (born April 26, 1975)[1] is an American pornographic actress and nude model and a member of the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.[2] Her stage name is based on the phrase Indian summer. She also has mainstream acting credits.[3][4]
Career
Summer received her education towards becoming a teacher. She then worked in finance for 6 years before moving to modeling and acting.[5] Summer began working in the adult film industry at the age of 29.[6]
In July 2009, she signed an exclusive girl/girl contract with Girlfriends Films studios.[7]

Mainstream appearances

In 2015, Summer had a starring role in the independent film Marriage 2.0. Although the original version contains explicit sex scenes, the edited version received an NC-17 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America. British writer Gareth May, in an article for the British lifestyle and culture site TheDebrief.co.uk, described the film as "a potential game changer for the porn industry. There are some great performances in the movie. India Summer especially excels, and Nina Hartley's brief role shows she clearly has comedic timing and talent." The unrated version of the film received the Best Narrative award at New York's 2015 CineKink Film Festival.[9]
