Married a year before graduating from Ragsdale High School, she worked in fast food, babysitting, and as an Avon saleswoman before entering the adult industry at 18, debuting with a homemade tape for Homegrown Video, inspired by a couple on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show who became wealthy doing the same.

Using aliases like Raveness and Ginger, she appeared in over 470 films, including Women Seeking Women 44 (2008) and Couples Camp (2010).

Why did she petition to raise the adult industry age limit?
