Sasha Grey
She graduated from school aged 17 and began studying acting, singing and dancing in college. By 2005 she started thinking about pornography as a career opportunity. She always wanted to express her sexuality and huge appetite for sex and self-exploration, pushing her own barriers so she thought it would be great for her. She also wanted to bring something new to the industry and finally made her decision of going porn in October 2005. In 2006, after working as a waiter, she moved to LA, and on April 17th she got tested at AIM and found an agent. She then performed in her first sex scene on May 1st (aged 18) in "The Fashionistas 2: Safado".
She has always been considered as an actress distinguished both by the extremity of what she is willing to do and for the unusual degree of intellectual seriousness about doing it. She has always defended her profession in an intellectual way, as she considers it a perfect way of getting to know herself and where her limits are. So you can find her doing pretty much everything during her career, as she was never shy or reluctant to do anything. She has performed in over 220 films and has directed two so far in her life.
During her porn career she has also modeled for several magazines, being chosen as Penthouse Pet of the Month on the magazine's July 2007 edition. She has also featured in many mainstream films, like The Girlfriend Experience, and TV series, such as HBO's Entourage. Her change to mainstream filming was complete in April 2011, when she announced on her Facebook page her retirement from the porn industry, after she published her photo book Neü Sex, where she tales some of her experiences as a porn actress and states her point of view on sex.
Even though she's no longer a porn actress, she's still one of the most popular actresses in the business, mainly due to her current mainstream role, the number of different films she's made and because during her career she was definitely one of the top rated actresses, winner of several awards:
