Julia Ann (born October 8, 1969)[5] is the stage name of American pornographic actress, feature dancer and Penthouse Pet Julia Tavella; she is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame and the XRCO Hall of Fame.

Career

By age 18 Julia Ann was modelling, then became a professional mud wrestler in Hollywood before becoming one half of the popular touring strip club feature act Blondage, with Janine Lindemulder, in the early 1990s.[5] Their success led to offers to join the adult film industry.[6]

Julia Ann debuted in adult films in 1992 in Andrew Blake's Hidden Obsessions, in a lesbian sex scene with Lindemulder. She has been a contract girl throughout most of her career. Her first exclusive contract was with Vivid Entertainment (during which time she worked solo and also made a series of Blondage films with Lindemulder). Later she had contracts with Digital Playground (1999) and Wicked Pictures (2002).[1] She was again under contract to Wicked Pictures in 2006,[7] but in May 2007 she posted on the members section of her website that she had not renewed her contract with Wicked.[8]

She has worked as a make-up artist.[9][10]

As of February 2014, she is ranked as the #27 most popular porn performer on the website Freeones.com down from an all-time high of #8.[11]

She has referred to fellow pornographic actress Christy Canyon as one of her "idols" in the business.[12]

Appearances

Julia Ann has also made appearances as herself on television shows, series, and documentaries such as Rated A for Adult, Night Calls, Give Me Your Soul..., Dreamwagon: Inside the Adult Industry, VS., The Man Show, and How They Make Adult Movies.[10]

In 1989, Julia Ann appeared in the film American Angels: Baptism of Blood.[13]

Along with Inari Vachs and other female porn actresses, Ann was a host of the Playboy TV show Naughty Amateur Home Videos.

Personal life

She married adult film director Michael Raven on June 21, 2003, but they divorced in 2007.[9] Besides breast augmentation, Julia Ann also had labiaplasty and a nose job to remove the after effects of a broken nose suffered when a horse kicked her in the face.[9]
