Jenna Jameson is an American entrepreneur, webcam model, and former pornographic film actress, who has been called the world's most famous adult entertainment performer and "The Queen of Porn." She started acting in erotic videos in 1993 after having worked as a stripper and glamour model. By 1996, she had won the "top newcomer" award from each of the three major adult-movie organizations. She has since won more than 35 adult-video awards, and has been inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) and Adult Video News (AVN) Halls of Fame.
Jameson founded the adult-entertainment company ClubJenna in 2000 with Jay Grdina, whom she later married and divorced. Initially a single website, this business expanded into managing similar websites of other stars and began producing sexually explicit videos in 2001. The first such film, "Briana Loves Jenna" (with Briana Banks), was named at the 2003 AVN Awards as the best-selling and best-renting pornographic title for 2002. By 2005, ClubJenna had revenues of $30 million with profits estimated at half that.
After her retirement from pornography, Jenna Jameson has continued to stay in the limelight by publishing a bestselling autobiography, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale," and developing her brand through various enterprises, including adult webcam work. She's also been active on social media and has made appearances on mainstream television shows and reality TV. Her personal life, stints in rehab, custody battles, and conversion to Judaism have also garnered media attention.
