Jenna Jameson Retires From Performing

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Jenna Jameson has filmed her last appearance on the blue screen. The adult industry legend, and arguably the most recognized and famous adult star of all-time, has retired from performing in adult videos.

US Weekly first reported news of Jameson’s retirement in an exclusive interview with the star who admitted to being “a hundred percent” retired.

Jameson made her adult film debut in Randy West’s “Up and Cummers 11” in 1993. She was quickly signed by Wicked Pictures to an exclusive contract and then moved onto Vivid Entertainment. She, along with then-husband Jay Grdina, formed Club Jenna in 2000. Playboy purchased Club Jenna in August 2006, and both Jameson and Grdina remained with the company after signing personal service agreements.

No other adult star has been idolized and looked up to within the industry — especially among female performers — who all “want to be like Jenna.” To them, Jameson embodied female empowerment in a male-dominated industry.

Jameson has successfully crossed over into the mainstream entertainment world. She’s had a best-selling book, numerous TV and film appearances, appeared in countless magazines, videogames, and is part of numerous licensing deals. Being Jameson is big business.

Fans still can look forward to numerous movies starring Jameson that Club Jenna has in the can. “I Dream of Jenna 2” was released Thursday and features all new Jameson footage.

A call seeking comment from Jameson was not immediately returned.
