Biography
About Carli Banks
Carli Banks was born on November 16, 1985, in Waverly, Iowa, a self-described farmer's daughter. She won several local beauty pageants before moving to Los Angeles to pursue modeling and acting. In 2005, at age 20, she entered the adult entertainment industry with FM Concepts, debuting in softcore and fetish films. She initially said, 'I have had no intention of doing hardcore films,' and planned to do nudie magazines and tame fetish work to fund her acting career. After missing rent for two months, she decided to ask for adult film work, but only girl/girl, feeling that boy/girl would cross a line she wasn't ready for.
Over her seven-year career, from 2005 to 2012, Banks appeared in over 180 films, including Fem: Staccato (2006) and The Charlie-Carli Bondage Festival (2012). She worked for studios like Penthouse, Hustler, Club Jenna, Digital Playground, Girlfriends Films, and Adam & Eve. She specialized in solo, lingerie, satin panties, and girl/girl scenes, and used aliases such as Carla Banks, Carlie Banks, and Cassidy Banks. She was named Hustler Honey in February 2006 and Twistys Treat of the Month in March 2006, and posed for High Society and Swank. AVN described her as 'a girl/girl legend,' and The Rialto Report praised her as 'an amazing lesbian performer.'
Banks is American, Caucasian, and bisexual, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is 5'4" tall, weighs 115 lbs, and has a slim body type with real, natural 30D breasts. Her measurements are 34-25-35. She has no tattoos but has a navel piercing. In an interview with lukeford.com in 2008, she said, 'I prided myself on being natural and turned down any surgery.' At the end of her career, she began doing boy/girl scenes with her then-boyfriend for her own website. In 2012, at age 27, she retired and moved back to Iowa. As of August 2025, she lives privately with no active social media presence, though her work remains in 2000s adult film archives. She is currently 40 years old.
