Julia Ann is an American pornographic actress and feature dancer. She is a member of the AVN, XRCO, NightMoves, and Brazzers Halls of Fame.

Career

At age 18, Ann hired a photographer to shoot a set of nude photos of her. She worked as a professional mud wrestler in Hollywood, California before becoming one half of the touring strip club feature act Blondage in the early 1990s with Janine Lindemulder.[2][self-published source] Their success led to their own issue of the Carnal Comics comic book title (which also published a Julia Ann solo comic, co-written by her), as well as offers to join the pornographic film industry.[3]

In the 1990s, Ann performed for Vivid Video alongside Lindemulder.[4] She was under contract to Wicked Pictures in 2006,[5] but in May 2007 she posted on the members section of her website that she had not renewed her contract with Wicked.[6][not specific enough to verify]

Personal life

Ann says she grew up around animals and developed a love for horses; she also took piano lessons and learned to swim "like a fish".[2] At age 12 she moved to Idyllwild, California, where she attended a college-prep school before moving back to Los Angeles to live with her grandmother at age 17.[2]
