Biography
About Juli Ashton
Adult model, director, and porn star Juli Ashton was born Julie Ellen Gauthier on October 5, 1968, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, though some sources list her birth year as 1969. She grew up in a middle-class family that loved the outdoors, of Scottish descent, and graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Spanish and history, working as a nightclub waitress to support her studies. After college, she taught Spanish at a junior high school for one year before moving to Florida, where she worked as a waitress and later an exotic dancer in strip clubs.
Her interactions with dancers introduced her to the adult film industry, leading to her debut in 1994 at age 25 with New Wave Hookers 4. Over her 12-year career, she appeared in over 130 adult films, working with studios like Vivid Entertainment, VCA, and Rosebud. She was particularly noted for her anal and lesbian scenes, with standout performances in The Dinner Party (1994) alongside Asia Carrera and Head Trip (1996). She collaborated with performers such as Asia Carrera, Nina Hartley, Jeanna Fine, Kylie Ireland, and Rocco Siffredi. She also directed a handful of films from 1997 to 2001.
Ashton modeled for magazines like Hustler, Penthouse, and High Society and toured as an exotic dancer. She had a mainstream role as Steffi in the Trey Parker and Matt Stone comedy Orgazmo (1997) and voiced characters in 1996 computer games Psychic Detective and The Last Bounty Hunter. She was the first spokesperson for Adam & Eve and lobbied for the Free Speech Coalition at the California State Legislature.
From 1996 to 2006, she co-hosted Night Calls on Playboy TV, a live call-in show where she discussed sexual topics and answered viewer questions. The show led to spin-offs like Night Calls: The Movie (1998) and Night Calls: The Movie 2 (2000). Physically, Ashton has a slim body type, standing 5'9" with blonde hair, blue eyes, and an enhanced 36C bust, as well as a Grateful Dead 'dancing bear' tattoo to the right of her pubes.
She is an American with Caucasian ethnicity and identifies as bisexual. Her approachable personality and college education set her apart in the industry, as noted by reviewers and directors. She married Venezuelan businessman Luis Eduardo Guerrero in 2009 and has 2 children. She retired from performing in 2003 but continued hosting and directing until 2006. Ashton lives a private life, likely in California, with no active social media presence. Her AVN Hall of Fame induction in 2011, XRCO Hall of Fame induction in 2012, and NightMoves Hall of Fame induction in 2000 underscore her legacy as a versatile performer and industry advocate.
