Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson is an American-born Penthouse model, iconic porn actress, businesswoman, and television personality, born Jennifer Marie Massoli on April 9, 1974 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Jenna Jameson from Las Vegas, Nevada, is a businesswoman, writer, television personality and former pornographic film actress. She has been named the world's most famous adult entertainment performer and "The Queen of Porn" which became her nickname. Jameson got her start as an exotic dancer in the Las Vegas area when only 16 by using a fake I.D. and raked in $2000 a night. After stripping for a number of years, and having a bad breakup with her boyfriend, Jenna decided to start taking off her clothes in front of the camera, with her first adult role being a softcore one with best friend Nikki Tyler for director Andrew Blake.

Jameson was advised against doing porn by her agent who felt she was pretty enough to do mainstream modeling, but she was insistent on entering adult films since the money would come much quicker. Jenna's first hardcore scenes were shot by Randy West for his popular Up and Cummers Series. Jenna's first performances can be seen in Up and Cummers 10 and Up and Cummers 11 Her scene in Vol. 11 marked her first on-camera boy/girl action. West said he knew she would be a star and the next Ginger Allen. After these scenes, Jameson got her first boob job which she considered an investment for her new career. Jameson would have multiple boob jobs over the years, going from her natural B cup to an E(DD) cup.

When her Wicked contract ran out in 2000, Jenna and then-boyfriend Jay Grdina created Club Jenna, a new adult production company, which has become one of the most successful in the industry. Jenna began performing exclusively for Club Jenna and occasionally for Vivid Pictures, which became the distributor of Club Jenna products. The first Club Jenna release, Briana Loves Jenna with Briana Banks was a smash with porn viewers, becoming one of Jameson's best-selling titles to date. In 2006, Playboy Enterprises bought Club Jenna, which opened up a world of outlets for Club Jenna products to be sold through that included TV, video-on-demand, and cellular phones. Playboy also renamed one of their Spice Network pay-per-view channels ClubJenna.

Jameson was married to porn actor Brad Armstrong from 1996-2001. Jameson and Grdina were married in 2003, but the relationship didn't last, and Jenna filed for divorce in 2006. However, Jenna didn't stay single for long. She was attached briefly to musician Dave Navarro, but that love match quickly flickered out to make way for the relationship with UFC bad boy Tito Ortiz. According to Jameson, she also had flings with rockers Marylin Manson and Tommy Lee.

Jameson was openly bisexual and claimed to have slept with over 100 different women in her private life before and during her porn career. Her steady girlfriend was Nikki Tyler who Jameson would date between and during boyfriends/husbands. Jameson would call Tyler the love of her life and wife. Jameson would marry a woman in 2023, but they would divorce in 2024. As of 2025, Jameson now identifies as lesbian and only dates women, citing her bad relationships for turning her off from men.

Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Daisy Holliday, Daisy Maze, JJ, Heartbreaker or The Queen of Porn.

Jenna Jameson was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in January 2004, stepping into the spotlight at 29 years old. With her statuesque 36-25-35 figure, seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and enhanced breasts, Jenna expresses confident glamour — elegant, expressive, and fully in command of allure.

With a career spanning over two decades, Jenna's journey into the realm of erotic performance began as a captivating stripper and glamour model in 1993. Her magnetic presence and undeniable talent quickly propelled her to stardom, earning her the esteemed title of "Top Newcomer" from the leading adult movie organizations just three years later.

Since then, Jenna's illustrious career has been adorned with over 35 prestigious awards in adult videos, solidifying her status as a true luminary in the industry. Her unparalleled contributions have secured her a revered place in the Halls of Fame of both the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) and Adult Video News (AVN), further cementing her legacy as "The Queen of Porn."

In 2000, Jenna ventured into entrepreneurship, co-founding the groundbreaking adult-entertainment company ClubJenna alongside Jay Grdina. Her visionary leadership and creative ingenuity revolutionized the industry, setting new standards of excellence and innovation.

Beyond the realm of adult entertainment, Jenna's influence extended into mainstream media, as showcased by her memorable role in Howard Stern's acclaimed film "Private Parts" in 1997. Her versatility as a performer captivated audiences worldwide, earning her admiration and acclaim beyond the boundaries of the adult industry.

Jameson had battled substance addiction throughout her life. She was addicted to cocaine, LSD, and meth even before she entered porn. She was forced to detox with family and friends. Her addictions likely scared larger studios like Vivid from signing her. Vivid had a reputation for signing the most beautiful women in porn and Jameson fit what they wanted. But her off-screen issues with drugs allowed the much smaller Wicked Pictures to sign Jameson to an exclusive content. Wicked made Jameson their star and their entire studio was built around her. It was during her time at Wicked that Jenna Jameson became the most popular and well-known starlet in the adult industry. Her first Wicked release was Blue Movie, followed by a string of other Wicked hits, including Conquest, Flashpoint, Satyr, and Dream Quest. Jameson became so popular that Vivid wanted a part of the biggest pornstar on earth so they worked out a lucrative deal with Wicked to be able to get her on loan, where she would make several huge movies including 1996's Jenna Loves Rocco with porn legend Rocco Siffredi.

In 2008, Jameson officially retired from doing porn citing that she didn't want to be a MILF. Although she would still do cam shows and dance up until 2014. In 2023, she created an OnlyFans and posted nude modeling pics, documenting the over 80lbs she had lost in three years with the Keto diet. At her peak, Jameson claimed she was making over $25,000 a night from dancing and nearly $80,000 for one day of filming. But she also said a lot of it would quickly be spent on drugs, cars, trips, etc. Jameson wrote two best-selling books on her life in the adult industry and usually ranks near the top of any list of the top adult stars of all time.
