Character's name: "Self"
Birthday: 08/06/1973
Birthplace: New York City, New York, USA
Biography:
Asia Carrera's stunning curves can be seen in more than 250 hardcore movies. Her looks combine delicate Asian features with voluptuous silicone breasts. Her fans not only admire her mouth-watering body but also her brains--a self-taught web designer, she is also a member of MENSA. At the tender age of 13 this daughter of a German father and a Japanese mother already was already playing music by  Johann Sebastian Bach on the piano in Carnegie Hall. Thanks to a federal grant she was able to study Japanese language and Economics at New Jersey's Rutgers University, but this was only after she had run away from home as a teenager because of the pressure her demanding parents put on her. By the age of 17 she was homeless. To get through her studies at the university she turned to stripping. After becoming one of New Jersey's best-paid exotic dancers she decided to devote her life to getting richer and richer; she never wanted to live out on the street again. When she heard about girls making thousands of dollars in the porn biz, she moved to Los Angeles. A mutual friend introduced her to director Bud Lee, who instantly put her in one of his feature films. The rest, as they say, is history. Asia has retired from making adult movies and only returns to do the occasional big-budget flick. She runs her own website and spends her time chatting with fans via email or day trading shares on the stock exchange.

Biography:
Marie Louise Hartman (born March 11, 1959), known professionally as Nina Hartley, is an American pornographic film actress and sex educator. She has been described by Las Vegas Weekly as an "outspoken feminist" and "advocate for sexual freedom", and by CNBC as "a legend in the adult world". Her pornographic film debut was in Educating Nina (1984), where she was cast and directed by fellow performer Juliet Anderson. Since then she has gone on to become one of the most enduring and recognizable performers in the industry, winning numerous awards throughout her career from various critic and fan organizations.

Hartley grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, after graduating from Berkeley High School in 1977, she attended San Francisco State University's undergraduate nursing school and graduated magna cum laude in 1985, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She was a registered nurse until her license expired in 1986. Hartley sought a career in pornography as a way to make a living by having sex, later telling Las Vegas Weekly, "Porn gave me easy access to women without having to date them or have a relationship." She writes that part of her reason for choosing sex work was to be able to indulge her exhibitionistic and voyeuristic streak. She has said she chose her life's work when she saw the 1976 erotic film The Autobiography of a Flea alone at a theater in San Francisco. In 1982, during her sophomore year of nursing school, she started working as a stripper at the Sutter Cinema and then the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre.

Tiffany Million

Character's name: "Self"
Birthday: 04/06/1966
Birthplace: Richmond, California, USA
Biography:
Sandra Lee Schwab was born on April 6, 1966 in Richmond, California. A former Catholic schoolgirl, Sandra became a stripper in her late teens then started her show business career in her early 20s wrestling for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.) under the stage name Tiffany Mellon; usually as part of the tag team "Park Avenue Knockouts." However, she left prematurely after facing harassment and homophobia from a G.L.O.W. manager who thought she and another wrestler were lesbians. Still, TV exposure on the syndicated series landed her her very first acting roles, including a guest spot on My Two Days and a supporting part in the wrestling drama American Angels: Baptism of Blood in 1989. Now bitten by the acting bug, Sandra switched her professional name yet again to Sandra Margot and started carving out a niche for herself in B movies. She played a seductive demon in Demon Wind, a hellish nun in Spirits, a teenage murder victim in The Sleeping Car and also landed parts in the women-in-prison film Caged Fury and a few other films, plus played a stripper on TV's Tales from the Crypt. The only constant were that the roles were small and almost always required nudity. Likely sick of landing nothing but nondescript bits in low budget films, Margot left her mainstream film aspirations behind, changed her name again to Tiffany Million (sometimes Tyffany Million) and went where she could become a star: hardcore porn. There she was much more successful and, from 1992 until her final X film appearance in 1997, Sandra became one of the most in demand adult stars of the decade. Some of her most successful ventures were American Garter, New Wave Hookers III, Sex, Latex (the top-selling adult video of 1995) and its 1996 sequel Shock. She even poked fun at her former wrestling days with a film called B.L.O.W. (Beautiful Ladies of Wrestling). Sandra won an XRCO (X-Rated Critics Organization) Award, two AVN Awards and even directed, wrote and produced a handful of films, including The XXX Files: Lust in Space (1995), for her own production company Immaculate Video Conceptions. After receiving a sizable inheritance, she quit the adult film industry and never returned. Leaving her sex star days behind, Sandra became a bounty hunter, bail bondswoman and then a private investigator. She emerged yet again a decade later, this time as Sandra Scott (surname from her fourth husband), as star of the short-lived reality show Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter, which aired on the WE Network in 2007. Afterward, Sandra was interviewed about her adult film days in After Porn Ends (2012) and has reinvented herself yet again in 2017, also using a new name ("Margot Monday"), as the host of Arizona talk radio show.

Character's name: "Self"
Birthday: 04/15/1954
Birthplace: Radford, Virginia, USA
Biography:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Seka (born Dorothea Hundley; April 15, 1954) is an American pornographic actress who has appeared in many XXX-rated films during the late 1970s and the 1980s. Dorothea Hundley was born and raised in Radford, Virginia. She attended high school in Hopewell, where she won a number of beauty pageants, including "Miss Hopewell High School" and "Miss Southside Virginia." Under the influence of Ken Yontz, her second-husband-to-be, she ran several adult bookstores in the 1970s until they moved to Las Vegas. While there she did her first nude layout, but they eventually returned to Virginia. The layout brought an offer to shoot her first porn film, a short, in Baltimore. She and Yontz subsequently moved to Los Angeles, where she devoted herself to the pursuit of her career in porn, initially using the name "Sweet Alice" as well as "Linda Grasser." She eventually adopted the screen name Seka, after a female blackjack dealer she knew in Las Vegas. She went on to star in more than 200 adult videos with "a break" in 1982, when she stopped shooting sex movies, claiming "they wouldn't pay her what she wanted," and turned to stripping and nude modeling while also running her own fan club. Subsequently she admitted that the HIV epidemic in the mid-'80s contributed to her decision to avoid the hardcore sex scene ("That's why I don't make movies any more . . . I like to live"). By the early '90s she had returned to the porn industry to perform in a few final movies, her last being American Garter. Jamie Gillis, who performed with Seka numerous times, believed that she was "a bit above porn", describing her as a "white trash queen."

John Leslie Nuzzo (January 25, 1945 – December 5, 2010) was a prolific porn actor who went on to have a long-running career as a producer and director of adult movies. Usually credited under the name John Leslie, he has also worked under a variety of pseudonyms, including John Leslie Dupre, Frederick Watson, and Lenny Lovely. Beginning with 1973's 'Sensuous Delights', Leslie was a performer in almost 300 adult films. He won numerous awards during his days as a performer. He appeared with some of the era's most noted porn stars, including Seka, Kay Parker, and Annette Haven. His most noteworthy roles were in 'Talk Dirty To Me' (1980), 'Nothing To Hide' (1981), and 'Talk Dirty To Me, Part II' (1982). He was one of the first porn actors to make the transition from performing to directing, beginning with 1987's 'Nightshift Nurses'.

He won many awards for his work behind the cameras as well.

In the early 1970s, he was a vocalist and harmonica player for the 'The Brooklyn Blues Busters', a southeastern Michigan-based musical group sometimes accompanying John Lee Hooker.
