Johnni Black

Johnni Black is a former American adult film star who entered the industry in March 1996 after a career in the military. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up attending Catholic school. She joined the United States Army and rose to the rank of Captain, stationed at Fort Bragg. She served there until May 1, 1996, just before her first adult scene. That debut took place in the film Anal Maniacs 4 for Wicked Pictures. Johnni retired from the industry in 2003, leaving behind an extensive body of work.

Over the course of her eight active years, Johnni appeared in 230 videos and posed for 242 covers and 12 photosets. She also worked as a director. Her performances earned recognition early on, including the 1998 AVN Award for Best New Starlet and the 1998 F.O.X.E. Award for Video Vixen. Porn legend Peter North has said she was the woman he most enjoyed performing with in his career. In her scenes, she did solo, girl-girl, and boy-girl work. Her measurements are 36-26-37, with an athletic build and blonde hair and blue eyes.

Johnni was married to David Johnson, who performed as Michael Black. They met while serving in the army, where he was a Sergeant First Class. Together they founded the Erotic Entertainers Guild in 1998. That group campaigned for sexual health issues among industry workers. She also studied psychology at the University of Illinois. Johnni is of Italian descent and is bisexual. She is now 58 years old.
