Jenna Jameson is considered one of the most famous and popular American pornographic actresses in the world.

Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, Jameson began dancing in strip clubs at the age of 17. This quickly led to nude pictorials in dozens of pornographic magazines.

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 1997, 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 WWE.

In 2001, she debated on the merits of porn against a panel of anti-porn activists at the Oxford Union and won the debate 204 to 27. (read more . . . )
