Melissa Monet (born July 16, 1964)[2] is the stage name of an American pornographic actress and film director.
Career
Monet entered the adult film world in 1994 at the age of 30.[2][3] Her then-boyfriend auditioned for a job as a porn star and she went along for moral support; she was then offered a job instead of him.[4] She began as a director only because she felt she was too old to be just beginning an acting career in porn.[3] She was the only director and producer for movies made exclusively for the Spice Channel in the first few years of its existence.[3][5]
Monet produced a documentary, directed by Mindy DeBaise, about the industry called Porn - It's a Living.[6][7]
Personal life
Monet was born in Staten Island, New York City, New York.[2] She has stated that she lost her virginity at "an early age" to a boy but she had also always been interested in women and had her first experience with a woman at the age of 15, as a result of she and her then-boyfriend Swinging with another couple.[2] She has a background in accounting (via working with mutual funds), and she was a call girl and a sexual surrogate in the 1980s before entering the adult film industry.[4]
Monet cites John Leslie as one of her influences. She is also an avid fan of the work of Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock.[3]
