Gina Lynn
Career
Lynn, born Tanya Mercado in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey, signed an exclusive contract with Pleasure Productions in 2000. AVN inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 2010, and Penthouse named her its April 2012 Pet of the Month. Her mainstream profile is unusually broad for the category: she played Eminem’s love interest in the 2003 video for "Superman", made recurring background appearances as a strip-club dancer across several seasons of The Sopranos, and had a cameo in Analyze That. She retired from performing in March 2012 while continuing to run her own production company.
Signature: AVN inducted her into its Hall of Fame two years before Penthouse made her a Pet of the Month — recognition running the opposite direction from most of this list — on the back of a mainstream profile built through Eminem’s "Superman" video and a recurring Sopranos presence.
