Career

Working as Ashley Blue and writing as Oriana Small, she began performing in 2002 and won Female Performer of the Year at both AVN and XRCO in 2004, at twenty-two. She appeared in over 300 films and directed seventeen features. Her memoir Girlvert: A Porno Memoir was published in 2011 and reviewed by Publishers Weekly as “fiercely honest”; she has also written for Hustler, co-hosted Playboy TV’s Night Calls Hotline and hosted a Vivid Radio show. In 2011 she modelled for a series of paintings by the Swedish artist Karl Backman.

Signature: The first full-length literary account written from inside this category by someone who had won its top award — published while the career was still going.
