1. Jenna Haze
Why Jenna ranks 1st
Haze’s AVN Best Oral Sex Scene win for 2007 work sits inside the single strongest overall record on this list: in 2009 she became the only performer ever confirmed to hold Female Performer of the Year at AVN, XBIZ and XRCO simultaneously, a feat no other performer in this field has repeated.
She backed it with a 2003 Best New Starlet win, her own label, Jennaration X Studios, founded the same year as the sweep, and Hall of Fame inductions from both AVN and XRCO in 2012 — she is also ranked on our hardcore pornstars index.

Career and credits
Career
Haze entered the industry in July 2001 at nineteen, working exclusively with women for three years under contract to Jill Kelly Productions out of loyalty to a boyfriend who worked as an industry cameraman. She returned to mixed-gender scenes in 2006 with Jenna Haze Darkside, produced by her new partner Jules Jordan, and spent the rest of the decade collecting scene-specific wins before 2009, when she became the only performer ever to hold Female Performer of the Year at AVN, XBIZ and XRCO simultaneously. She launched her own label, Jennaration X Studios, that same year and retired from performing in February 2012.
Signature: The only performer on this list — and one of only two in AVN’s history, after a performer credited only as Missy — to win Best New Starlet and Female Performer of the Year over the course of a career, and 2009 remains the sole year any performer has swept Female Performer of the Year at AVN, XBIZ and XRCO at once.
