Nina Hartley

In 1982, during her sophomore year of nursing school, Nina Hartley started working as a stripper at the Mitchell Brothers' O'Farrell Theater. She made her foray into the world of pornographic movies during her junior year, in 1984. Her debut performance was in the film Educating Nina (currently out of print) which was directed by the veteran porn star Juliet Anderson (better known as Aunt Peg) and this proved to be a massive hit. Since then, Nina Hartley has gone on to feature in over 400 first-run adult films, and has become one of the most enduring and recognizable performers in the industry.Nina Hartley is best known within the adult film industry for her rear end (often referred to as the "best ass in the business").Hartley has been an advocate for the adult film industry's right to exist, and prior to the rise to stardom of Jenna Jameson had often been called upon when television news programs and talk shows required an articulate, leading adult film actress to support the pro side.In addition to her more traditional roles in porn films, Nina Hartley has also produced, directed, and starred in a series of "How to..." films covering the entire sexual spectrum, from basic sexual intercourse and foreplay, to anal intercourse and bondage.
