Biography

Kane was born in Tacoma, Washington, and moved to Los Angeles, California, in 2004 to pursue a career in adult entertainment. Kane officially entered the adult film industry a year before that, in August 2003, when she was 20 years old, and did her first scene for the film Troubled Teens.[3]

In 2006, at the age of 23, she directed her first movie for Pulse Pictures entitled Naked & Famous,[4][5] which received a 5-stars out of five review from AVN Magazine. Shortly after, Vivid Entertainment approached Kane to direct for their Vivid-Alt branch.

After she made her directorial debut with Naked and Famous for Pulse Distribution,[3] she went on to direct Triple Ecstasy, Morphine, and Live In My Secrets, three alt porn films produced by Vivid Entertainment.[6]

Kane used Super 8mm film and mixed media in her videos. In 2009, Kane was cast to play Dana Scully in New Sensations' The Sex Files,[7] and won the 2010 Best Actress AVN Award.[8]

In 2012, Kane, along with some of her adult film colleagues, was featured in Maxim Magazine[9] after doing a campaign with The Escapist.[10][11] Kane also continued to pursue her love of photography. In 2012, her writing and photography were published twice in Vice Magazine, one of which being a portrait series entitled "Girls of Hollywood".[12] Dian Hanson selected Kane's photography for Taschen's book The New Erotic Photographer Book Vol. 2.[13] Kane also appeared as a cover-model for Taschen's Big Book of Pussy.[14]

In 2013, Kane was a lead actress in two Wonder Woman-themed porn parodies by Axel Braun, and one of them won her Best Sex Scene at the XBIZ Awards.[15] Photos of Kane in the Wonder Woman costume went viral on social and mainstream media.[16][17] Kane later participated in a charity auction where the costume sold to fund the Free Speech Coalition.[18]

In 2015, Kane signed on as host of Viceland/Munchies Sex+Food,[19] a TV show that explores food fetishes,[20] feeder/feedee,[21] sploshing, food play,[22] and food products related to sex.

Advocacy

On March 22, 2010, Kane participated in an anti-piracy public service announcement for the Free Speech Coalition.[23][24] In the 2012 United States presidential election, Kane voiced her support for President Barack Obama, stating that she agreed with his views on women's issues, health care, and gay rights.[25]

In 2013, Kane was approached by a group of fellow adult industry performers who were forming an advocacy group for adult performers. Kane, known for her strong opposition against Measure B 'The Condom Law,'[26] was a founding member of the organization that would become APAC (Adult Performers Advocacy Committee). Kane acted as Treasurer for APAC and co-wrote Porn 101,[27] an informative video for anyone wanting to join the adult film industry. Porn 101 can be viewed on YouTube and is still relevant for anyone researching the adult industry.
