Stormy Daniels (born March 17, 1979),[2] born as Stephanie Gregory Clifford and also known as Stormy Waters and simply Stormy, is an American pornographic actress, screenwriter,[6] and director. She is a member of the NightMoves, AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.[7][8][9] In 2009, a recruitment effort led her to consider challenging incumbent David Vitter for the 2010 Senate election in her native Louisiana.[10]

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".[11]

Career

Stormy Daniels in 2007

Daniels began stripping at age 17 at a club in Baton Rouge,[4] then expanded to become a feature entertainer with Continental Theatrical Agency in September 2000.[12] She chose her stage name to reflect her love of Mötley Crüe, whose bassist, Nikki Sixx, named his daughter Storm.[13] Since she is from Louisiana, she chose the last name "Daniels" after seeing a Jack Daniel's advertisement that read "a Southern favorite."[14] While working as a feature she met 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.[15] 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 with him[15] 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.[15] 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.[16] She has directed for Wicked since 2004.[17]


Daniels was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame on January 18, 2014[8] and was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame on April 16, 2014.[9] Her directorial work that year earned fourteen AVN Award nominations including a nomination for Best Safe Sex Scene for her performance with Brendon Miller in François Clousot’s First Crush.[8]

Appearances

Daniels appeared in an episode of Real Sex where she is seen participating in 2001 Miss Nude Great Plains Contest.[18] 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.[19] 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.

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.[10] The recruitment process was centered around the website DraftStormy.com.[20] On May 21, 2009, she formed an exploratory committee.[21] Daniels was unaffiliated with any party until April, 2010 when she declared herself as a Republican.[22] She made several listening tours around Louisiana to focus on the economy, as well as women in business and child protection[23] and stated that if elected, she would likely retire from the adult industry.[24] On July 28, 2009, it was reported that her campaign manager had been targeted by a car bomb attack.[25] 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.[26]

Personal life

Daniels was born as Stephanie Gregory Clifford[1] in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Daniels has a daughter (born January, 2011) with her then-boyfriend Glendon Crain.[27]
