About Jenna Jameson

Jenna Marie Massoli (born April 9, 1974), known professionally as Jenna Jameson, is an American businesswoman, writer, television personality, and former pornographic film actress. She has been named the world's most famous adult entertainment performer and "The Queen of Porn". Jameson 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 movie, Briana Loves Jenna (along with Briana Banks), was named as the best-selling and best-renting pornographic title at the 2003 AVN Awards for 2002. Jameson has also crossed over into mainstream pop culture, starting with a minor role in Howard Stern's biographical comedy film Private Parts (1997). Jameson announced her retirement from pornography at the 2008 AVN Awards, stating that she would never return to the industry. Although she no longer performs in pornographic films, she began working as a webcam model in 2013. In 2025, Jenna Jameson noted that she "switched sides" and left her previous lifestyle for the Christian faith.
