Devon

American adult star Devon, born Kristie Marie Lisa on March 28, 1977, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, entered the entertainment world with a background in gymnastics dreams. She is the second of two daughters and four siblings, with an older sister and two younger brothers. Of Dutch, French, Cherokee, and English descent, she began her career at 19 as a stripper at Al's Diamond Cabaret in Reading, Pennsylvania, after winning first prize on amateur night, which funded her breast augmentation. She entered the adult film industry in 1998, debuting in Jules Jordan's New Breed, and signed with Vivid Entertainment from 1998 to 2001, starting with Country Comfort. Using aliases like Devin, Devin Striker, and Devon Blue, she appeared in over 200 films, working with studios like Digital Playground and Shane's World, where she also directed. Notable films include Pirates (2005), a $1 million production; Island Fever 3 (2004), the first WMV-HD DVD porn film; and Virtual Sex with Devon (2001), which she cited as her proudest work for its effort. Her anal scenes in Pirates and group scenes in On the Street (1999) were standout performances. She collaborated with performers like Jesse Jane, Teagan Presley, Bobby Vitale, and Jeanna Fine. She was Penthouse Pet of the Month for January 2001, appeared in Stuff magazine, and had mainstream roles in The Man Show (1999, "Millennium" episode) and Entourage (2005, "I Love You Too"). She won AVN's Best Interactive DVD (2001) for Virtual Sex with Devon, NightMoves' Best Video (2002) for Devon Stripped, and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame (2010). She directed Devon Does Baja (2007) for Shane's World but ended her contract after alleging inappropriate behavior by an actor.
