Early on in school she was a good student, until she entered junior high and realized boys and sex existed. Jenna dropped out of school at 15 and was homeschooled. The future porn star also found jobs changing oil and stocking Christmas toys. When she was 18 she tried stripping for a day, but didn't like it.

Jenna wasn't into pretending to like men at the strip club and giving 20 dollar lap dances. Her boyfriend introduced her to his friend who knew porn director Peter North and porn producer Craven Moorehead. She accepted an offer to do a porn film a couple of days later. A day after that she did another scene.

In 2002 she impressed Jill Kelly and decided to sign a contract in April 2002. She began dating a cameraman in the business and only worked with women for three years. In 2004 she took part in the six-part HBO documentary Pornucopia. A year later, in 2005, her contract with Jill Kelly Productions ended and she was able to again work freely. In April 2006 she did her first scene with a male in three years. In 2011 CNBC listed her as one of the top 12 porn stars calling her, "Arguably the most popular performer in porn today."


She 'retired' via YouTube in 2012, although she left the door open to directing and producing adult films. Jenna Haze has appeared in FHM Magazine, the music video for The Pretty Reckless' song "My Medicine" and began dating Greg Puciato from The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Jenna Haze and her Jennaration X Studios have received over 40 adult industry awards. You can wish Jenna a happy birthday on Facebook and Twitter.
