Template:Female adult bio

Jenna Haze (born February 22, 1982) is an American pornographic actress. She entered the adult film industry in 2001 at the age of 19. Between 2002 and 2005, she was a contract girl for the film company, Jill Kelly Productions. During most of her time at the company, she performed exclusively with women, out of loyalty to her then boyfriend, an industry cameraman. She returned to working with men in the 2006 multi-award winning release, Jenna Haze Darkside, produced by her new boyfriend, Jules Jordan. Haze herself has won numerous adult industry awards, including the 2003 AVN Award for Best New Starlet.

Biography

Early life

Haze was born in Fullerton, California and grew up mainly in La Habra, California, but also spent time in Lancaster, California, and Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. Haze grew up with divorced parents, and has two sisters and a brother; all much older than her.[1] She is of mixed Spanish, German, and Irish descent.[2]

She received good grades in school until about junior high school, when she discovered boys and sex.[1] By age 15, she dropped out of high school, and had to receive homeschooling and get a job. She had a series of low wage jobs such as a fast food manager, oil change girl, and stocking shelves at a toy store during Christmas.[1][3]

When Haze turned 18, she tried stripping for a day, but did not enjoy being a house girl or giving lap dances to men she had to pretend to like, while not making much money.[1] At age 19, while at her favorite nightclub, in Anaheim, California, her boyfriend introduced her to a friend who knew the adult actor Peter North and the actor-director Craven Moorehead. She gladly accepted an offer from Moorehead to participate in a film, and two days later she shot her first scene.[1] Haze had chosen her stagename before entering the industry, as friends had previously asked her what it would be. Jenna was the name she was given to distinguish her from the other Jennifers who worked at the same pie restaurant as her at the time; Haze was in honor of her then fiancé – who had the surname Hayes – and her favourite song, Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze".[1][4] She liked the song due to its connection with cannabis, which she frequently used.[4]

Film career

Haze's first scene was with Miles Long in Joey Silvera's Service Animals 4.[3] The next day she shot a scene for The Oral Adventures of Craven Moorehead 8 with her agent, Craven Moorehead, and his best friend, Slim Shady.[3][1][5] It was intended to only be an oral scene, but in the heat of the moment she had intercourse with both. A few months later, she realized that she did not need an agent and started to represent herself.[1] For just over a month, Haze dated Simon Dope from the rock band, Dope. They met in 2002 on the set of Taste of a Woman, her first feature film and her first lead. She briefly followed his band on tour until the relationship ended.[4]

In February 2002, Haze appeared in a scene for Jill Kelly Productions (JKP), directed by Jill Kelly herself. Kelly was impressed by her performance, and JKP offered Haze an exclusive performing contract. This was soon followed by offers from other companies, but in April 2002 Haze decided to sign with JKP as the company offered the extra flexibility needed to make money and build her career.[6][1] The company also seemed to her as being not just a business but a family. She also enjoyed the idea of having a group of girls around her and being with a company run by a woman.[1] Soon after signing with JKP, she formed a serious relationship with an industry cameraman, and began a three-year period of performing exclusively with women.[1][7] At the 2003 AVN Awards ceremony, Haze was named Best New Starlet, and her masturbation scene in Big Bottom Sadie was awarded Best Solo Sex Scene.[8] In 2004, she appeared on the HBO show, Pornucopia, a six-part documentary on the pornography industry in California.

Haze became a free agent in April 2005, after deciding not to renew her contract with JKP, partly because Jill Kelly had recently left the company.[9] After leaving JKP and splitting with her boyfriend, Haze returned to working with male performers. The April 2006 release, Jenna Haze Darkside, featured her first boy-girl scenes in over three years, along with her first interracial scene, with Mr. Marcus. The film was produced and directed by her new boyfriend, Jules Jordan.[7] Later in the year, she began writing a sex advice column for the pornographic magazine, Fox.[10] She also started feature dancing, represented by the agency, Lee Network.[11] The first achievement in her feature dancing career was a nomination for Best Feature Entertainer at the 2007 Night Moves Awards.[12] Her film work was also rewarded in 2007, with AVN Awards for Best Oral Sex Scene (Video) and Best Group Sex Scene (Video), as well as a nomination for Female Performer of the Year.[8] In April 2007, Jenna Haze Oil Orgy became the first adult movie to be released on Blu-ray format.[13] In the 2007 mainstream comedy film, Superbad, Haze made a short appearance in the role of Vagtastic Voyage Girl #2.[14] She was also among the adult stars featured in the erotic photography book, Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry, published in November 2007. The special edition of the book included a fine art photograph of Haze signed by the photographer, Michael Grecco.[15] In January 2008, her scene with Manuel Ferrara in Evil Anal 2 won the AVN Award for Best Couples Sex Scene (Video).[16]
