Tasha Reign

Career

Reign, born Rachel Swimmer in Laguna Beach, California, appeared as a teenager on the third season of MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. She began stripping in 2008 and entered adult film soon after, appearing as a Penthouse centrefold in April 2011 and its Pet of the Month the following month. She enrolled at UCLA in 2010 and graduated with a gender-studies degree in 2014 while continuing to perform, a dual life covered repeatedly by the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly and the Huffington Post. She has since worked as a producer and sex columnist.

Signature: Went from a Penthouse centrefold and Pet of the Month to a UCLA gender-studies degree without pausing her performing career — a combination journalists covered repeatedly precisely because it was unusual.
