Lizzy Borden

Born on December 10, 1977, in the United States, Lizzy Borden is an American national of Caucasian and Italian-American descent. She was born under the astrological sign of Sagittarius. Details about her early upbringing and education remain largely private, though she would go on to build a multifaceted career that extended well beyond performing into directing, producing, and business ownership.

Lizzy Borden entered the adult film industry as a performer, appearing in productions for studios including Puritan, Adam & Eve, Dane Productions, and Exquisite, among others. Her on-screen work includes titles such as University Coeds Oral Exams #14, Lizzy Borden Goes to Jail, and Lizzy Borden Loves Sex by the Pool. Standing 5'8" (172cm) with natural 36D measurements, she built a recognizable presence across more than 7 scenes and films, with her work now catalogued across 18 platforms on ThePornDB.

In 1999, Borden transitioned into directing, co-running the production company Extreme Associates with her husband, Rob Black. Under that banner she directed a series of deliberately extreme films, including Cocktails (2000), Fossil F**ker (2001), Cannibalism (2002), and Forced Entry (2002). The graphic and transgressive nature of these productions drew national attention, and in 2003 she and Rob Black were indicted on federal obscenity distribution charges, marking one of the most high-profile adult industry legal cases of that era. She also worked frequently with performer Veronica Caine across multiple projects.

Beyond film, Borden maintained a parallel career as a professional wrestler and valet, performing under aliases including Mia Mikels, Janet Romano, and several variations of her stage name. Her work under these names further broadened her public profile outside traditional adult entertainment circuits.

Following the legal proceedings surrounding Extreme Associates and her most prolific directing period, Borden moved into new ventures. She signed with Crash Music, Inc. as the label's official spokesmodel and has also produced her own music, signaling a creative pivot beyond adult entertainment. Her body of work as both a performer and director remains catalogued across 18 platforms, and she continues to be recognized under her various aliases including Mia Mikels and Janet Romano Zicari.
