Biography

Daniels is an only child whose parents were divorced when she was four. She was subsequently raised by her mother. Daniels attended a magnet school in Louisiana and was the editor of her high school paper and president of the 4-H club.

She began stripping at age 17 at a club in Baton Rouge then expanded to become a feature performer in September of 2000. While working as a feature she met with Devon Michaels, who was doing girl-girl scenes in a pair of upcoming movies—one for Wicked Pictures and one for Sin City, and invited Daniels to accompany her. Daniels accompanied Michaels to her Wicked shoot, where she met Brad Armstrong and co-starred with Michaels in her Sin City scene, which was American Girls Part 2. Afterwards, Armstrong invited Daniels to stay out with him where she continued doing girl-girl only scene.

In July 2002, she was cast as the lead in a feature film for Wicked called Heat' where she did her first boy-girl scene, and in September of the same year she signed an exclusive contract with Wicked. In 2004, she won the coveted Best New Starlet Award from Adult Video News the first of her numerous awards. From 2004 to 2006 she went on to direct for Wicked while continuing as a leading performer.

She has appeared in several popular men's magazines including Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse, High Society, GQ, and FHM. She has also written for FHM.

She appears in the film The 40-Year-Old Virgin as the main character watches her in the video Space Nuts: Episode 69—Unholy Union. She also plays a Las Vegas lap dancer in Knocked Up, alongside fellow porn star Nautica Thorn. A deleted scene on the Virgin DVD includes her having dinner with producer Seth Rogen in a parody of My Dinner with Andre.

In early-2007, she appeared in Dirt on the FX Network, where she played a stripper who sets up a basketball player Rick Fox. Later in 2007, Daniels appeared in Maroon 5's music video for their song Wake Up Call as a pole dancer.
