- Jenna Jameson was born and raised in Las Vegas by her father, and by the time she was 18 the bright lights were already drawing her in. She studied ballet, but it was stripping that started her on her road to superstardom. Dancing led to nude modeling, and by her 20th birthday she had appeared in dozens of top men's mags, including "Penthouse," "Hustler," "High Society" and "Cheri." A visit to a porn set piqued her interest in a hardcore career, and Wicked Pictures signed her to an exclusive contract after a bidding war. It took only a few releases for Jenna to become the most popular young starlet around. She catapulted to the top of the porn heap, and in 1996 she scored an unprecedented triple crown by taking home the XRCO Best New Starlet, the F.O.X.E. Video Vixen and the AVN Best New Starlet awards. Jenna has been branching out into more mainstream projects lately, including a featured role in Howard Stern's Parties intimes (1997). She remains one of the most popular pornstresses in the industry today.- IMDb mini biography by: fargalaxy < fargalaxy@hotmail.com>

- On 3/25/12 she was arrested in Westminister, CA, and charged with three counts of driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, driving with a blood-alcohol level over the state legal limit, and driving on a suspended license after her Range Rover struck a light pole. She initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but later changed her plea to guilty. She was sentenced to three years of informal probation, ordered to pay $340 in fines, and participate in a victim impact panel from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The charge for driving without a valid license was dismissed.
- Gave birth to twin sons (her first two children) at age 34, Jesse Jameson Ortiz and Journey Jette Ortiz on 3/15/09. Children's father is her ex-boyfriend, Tito Ortiz.
- After deciding to change her last name, she came across Jameson in the phone book and settled once her brother approved, saying, "I'm drinking Jameson right now.".
- Graduated from Bonanza High School in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1992.
- I try my hardest to push the point that I am a feminist. I really think it's important that people know that the women in this industry are empowered. They run it, man. It's awesome.
- [in response to a question at the 2003 X-Rated Critics Organization Awards] Is it just me, or is a porn award show just not the right place to be discussing your thoughts on the war?
- I know that when I do get pregnant, I won't step one foot in the adult industry again.
- The funny thing about being a porn star is that everyone automatically assumes that they can sleep with you. This is what I do for a living. I don't just let anyone get into my pants.
- Making eye contact during rough sex is roughly the equivalent trying to read Fyodor Dostoevsky on a rollercoaster.
