Biography
Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada to a family with
Italian roots; her father was a police officer while her mother was a showgirl.
Her mother died when Jameson was three years old. During her childhood, she took
ballet classes, which helped future career in dancing, and was a frequent
entrant in beauty pageants.
At age 16, Jameson began dancing in strip clubs
with the help of a false I.D. Initially rejected from dancing at the Crazy Horse
strip club because of her braces, they quickly relented when she removed them
herself. During her dancing, she became a voracious drug user, using such drugs
as acid and speed.
When she was 18, she moved to California, where her
father had moved, and with his help she became clean. By age 20, and with her
father's blessing, this quickly led to nude pictorials in such magazines as
Hustler, Penthouse and Cheri.
After a bidding war, Wicked Pictures, a
pornographic film production company, signed Jameson to an exclusive contract.
After only a few films, she quickly achieved fame and critical success, and, in
1996, won top awards from three major industry organizations.
Jameson has also made cameo appearances in some
mainstream movies and other media, including Howard Stern's 1997 film Private
Parts and, in 2002, as the voice of a porn star called "Candy Suxxx," in the
popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
In 1997, she made an appearance for an Extreme
Championship Wrestling PPV as the valet for the Dudley Boyz, followed by a few
months where she was the ECW interviewer. She also filmed a vignette with Val
Venis in the WWF.
In 2001, she debated the merits of porn against a
panel of anti-porn activists at the Oxford Union and won the debate 204 to 27.
In 2004, Jameson's autobiography, How to Make Love
Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale (ISBN 0060539097) was released. Co-written
with Neil Strauss, it was an instant best-seller.
She currently is co-owner of ClubJenna, a website
and movie-production company, along with her husband, porn-director Jay Grdina
(who performs and directs under the stage name of "Justin Sterling"). The couple
reside in Arizona.
In 2005, her moan tones (moaning sounds) were made
available for downloads as ringtones.
As of April 13, 2005 she and publisher ReganBooks
are currently in the midst of a lawsuit. The point of contention is the new
reality show around Jameson's "everyday life" -- a deal that was being inked out
between her husband and A&E. ReganBooks indicates however that this is a breach
of Jameson's contract, as the contract indicates that ReganBooks has a stake in
the profits generated by two different venues: a one-hour special based on her
memoir and reality-based series. As of this writing, an agreement has not been
reached regarding this suit.
In August 2005, she launched Club Thrust, an
interactive website for her gay fans, which includes videos, galleries, sex
advice, gossip, and downloads. Jameson is one of the few actresses in straight
porn to have developed a following among gay audiences.
In October 2005, production began on The
Provocateur, in which Jameson made her directorial debut. The film is expected
to be released in late 2006.
Quotes
"Making eye contact during rough sex is roughly the
equivalent trying to read Dostoyevsky on a rollercoaster."
"I know that when I do get pregnant, I won't step
one foot in the adult industry again."
"Though watching porn may seem degrading to some
women, the fact is that it's one of the few jobs for women where you can get to
a certain level, look around, and feel so powerful, not just in the work
environment but as a sexual being. So, f*** Gloria Steinem."
