Forgive if this topic was discussed before. If so, provide a link. I want to know what pornstars did before they got in the business. I always had the impression that they were all runaways, strippers, or prostitutes that were merely following a natural progression. Knowing that some past and present performers also had jobs that I can relate to makes them more real to me. Especially interested in those that were teachers, nurses, bankers or any other similar profession. Please correct known mistakes (especially if you are the artist in question). Examples: Johnni Black - former Captain in the US Army and served in Desert Storm Nina Hartley - nurse Lexington Steele - stockbroker Rita Faltoyano - 3 time junior Hungarian swimming champion Beverlee Hills - Hollywood stunt woman Heather Hunter - "Soul Train" dancer Cumisha Amado - nurse Victoria Paris - legal secretary and Hollywood Tropicana mud wrestler Julie Rage - Marine, county government worker Viper - Marine TT Boy - construction Juli Ashton - teacher Calli Cox - teacher Olivia O'Lovely - amateur boxer Jessica Jaymes - teacher Kascha aka Allison Showe - amateur tennis player (heard she almost made pro but got injured) T.J. Hart - 1988 US Olympic swim team Tera Patrick - nurse Alicia Rhodes - hairdresser Sydney Moon - Masters in Clinical Psychology Scott Styles - NASA rocket scientist Lea de Mae - Czech high diving national team, suffered a career ending spinal injury while training for the '96 Olympics (RIP)

Alexis Amore - Nordstrum catalog model Shy Love - certified public accountant Mika Tan - child model, as an extra in television and theater, and at one point was a member of the Movement Company dance troupe of Guam where she performed modern jazz and ballet, sales & marketing in the timeshare industry Also in my research I am finding out that many performers had advanced degrees before they started.
So who was a nurse? Inari Vachs? I remember reading an article in a magazine and some famous feature star had started off as a nurse...swear it was Stacy Valentine, but anyway, I'm wrong.
Stacy was married at a very young age and I don't think she even went to college. Her website says nothing about nursing. According to her site, Inari worked in several corporate establishments from insurance/investments to reprographics
I went to culinary school in France from age 14 to 17, and then worked for a year as a pastry chef at the Four Seasons hotel in Paris before i started porn :) Melissa Lauren
Nina Hartley - Had already started shooting porn while in nursing school and got found out by fellow classmates or a patient, I'm not sure which. I don't think she ever actually practiced as a nurse or even took her boards for that matter. Tera Patrick - I don't think anyone has ever believed for a millisecond that Tera Patrick was a nurse. It seems to be largely regarded as fictional part of her bio. Chris Cannon was a Marine. Cytherea worked at Wendy's. Mercedez worked at Barnes and Noble.

Tera went to Boise State University where she received her associates (two year) degree in nursing and a BS in Microbiology didn't she? She did drop out of UCSB but still technically she was a nurse if she got her degree. Why would she lie about that? Edited by - blowfish on 2/3/2008 8:04:46 PM

yea, but in what year did her get his Masters? surely plenty of new social science discoveries have been made since his degree and i'd venture to guess alot of the mental health philosophy of those has dramatically changed.
