Nina Hartley, besides possessing what is widely reputed to be the "best ass in porn," is also one of the industry's brightest stars.
A nurse by training and porn aficionado by inclination - Nina was greatly turned on by her first viewing, in a Berkeley theater, of Autobiography of a Flea - Hartley was recruited to on-camera sexwork in 1983 by Juliet "Aunt Peg" Anderson for Anderson's directorial debut, Educating Nina.
Since then, in addition to appearing in over 500 XXX features and winning five AVN Awards, Nina has pursued a successful dancing career; directed the popular Nina Hartley's Guide series for Adam & Eve Productions; co-created (with Sharon Mitchell) an orientation tape that's a must-see for incoming porn actresses; been an invited guest at numerous sexuality symposia and on various radio and TV talk shows; and even snagged a key role in the John Holmes-inspired mainstream film, Boogie Nights. If that ain't impact, we don't know what is.
