Jesse Jane

Jesse Jane was an American pornographic film actress who crossed into mainstream film and television, something few adult performers of the 2000s managed. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, she modeled for retailers and worked for Hooters before becoming a Hawaiian Tropic bikini model. She had an exclusive Digital Playground contract from 2002 to 2014 and starred in Pirates (2005) and Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge (2008), playing a first officer battling villainous pirates. In 2006 she and Kirsten Price began hosting Playboy TV's Night Calls, and she hosted the AVN Awards that year and again in 2013. She also hosted the F.A.M.E. Awards and the XBIZ Awards. Her mainstream work included an uncredited appearance in Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003), a cameo in Starsky & Hutch, and roles in Middle Men and Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. She retired in 2017 and was a member of the NightMoves, XRCO, and AVN halls of fame.
