Taylor Hayes (born Tara Ellyn Smith on January 14, 1975) is an American pornographic actress. She took her pseudonym from Taylor Hayes, the fictional character played by Hunter Tylo on the The Bold and the Beautiful, an American soap opera of which a teenaged Hayes was an enthusiastic devotee.
Hayes was raised in a broken, alcoholic family in suburban Ohio. During her formative years and high school years in suburban Dallas, she attended Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas. After graduation and while working at the Cabaret Royale strip club, Hayes was featured in Penthouse in 1994 as a result of winning a local talent search.
The event caused Hayes to be evicted from the home of her then-boyfriend (reputed to be a Dallas millionaire) in early 1995, and she subsequently moved to Las Vegas, where she lived with a local pornographer/swinger couple, had a brief fling with John Wayne Bobbitt, and also made several graphic pictorial appearances in Hustler magazine (in which she served as a centerfold in late 1995).
In 1996 Taylor moved to Los Angeles and began working for adult studio VCA Pictures. After a couple of adult film productions with VCA, she left to become one of the feature girls of gonzo pornographer Adam Glasser (also known as Seymore Butts) and during which stint of her career Taylor made several videos which highlighted her enthusiasm for anal play (including analingus and A2M).
Vivid Entertainment signed Hayes to an exclusive contract in 1997 during which she made more than a dozen feature videos and was twice named "Female Performer of the Year" at the AVN Awards in Las Vegas. Hayes also had breast augmentation and had liposuction done to her lower body during this period.
Simultaneous with her Vivid engagement, Hayes also secured a recurring role on Playboy TV and further was depicted together with Jenna Jameson and Briana Banks in the south of France in Vanity Fair magazine.
Hayes has made several appearances on the Howard Stern show, the last in which she abruptly left the studio in tears, prompted by Stern's emphasis on her reputation as an "Anal Queen."
Hayes became romantically involved with Glasser in 1995, had a son by him named Brady in 1996, and split with Glasser in 1997. Brady was thereafter awarded to Glasser in a bitter and extended child custody dispute.
In the years after the split with Glasser, Hayes had several publicized arguments with Glasser's subsequent girlfriend, Alisha Klass (both of whom are known for their penchants for anal sex as well as their abilities to ejaculate, or "squirt," in copious amounts).
After several contentious years as a Vivid Girl, in 2002 Hayes retired from adult films. AVN Magazine nearly contemporaneously included Hayes in their list of the "Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time".
Hayes has unsuccessfully attempted to gain mainstream film roles, including during the mid-1990s in "Animal Instincts III" (a soft-core production) and, after leaving Vivid, the 2003 film "Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain" (another low-budget "B movie" production). However, since the late 1990s Taylor has reportedly struggled with both substance abuse and weight issues and has given birth to at least one other child out of wedlock during May 2005.
Hayes announced her return to porn as a 30-year old in December 2005. Her first return scenes were a multi-girl orgy for Shane's World Productions (whose owner, Shane, had also been Glasser's girlfriend prior to Hayes), and an oral scene featuring Mark Davis, and shot by Glasser for his production company. In a further turnabout, Hayes is represented in her recent comeback efforts by ex-boyfriend Glasser's talent agency.
