Born April 9, 1974, she danced ballet as a child and was a self-described nerd in high school. And, while she was a cheerleader, she didn’t have a date to the prom. But by her senior year in high school, she had blossomed into a tall, blonde, voluptuous and sultry stunner with an innocent look. She had no trouble getting jobs as a model and topless dancer on the Vegas strip. She quickly moved on to the world-famous Crazy Horse II and began stripping.

Within a year Penthouse and Hustler photographed Jameson, and soon the offers to do adult movies appeared. She consulted with her father, who encouraged her to follow her conscience, but added, “You know, Jenna, this is a big step. You can’t erase this.” She decided to go ahead with it, and at age 19, began making adult films. She was an instant success and was voted the “Best New Starlet” by AVN, XRCO and FOXE – the only actress ever to win the award from all three groups in the same year. Since then, she has won virtually every honor the adult industry bestows.
