About Stephanie Swift
Stephanie Swift, born Melodi Maurine Clark, is a former American porn star who spent 16 years in the adult industry, from 1995 to 2011. At just 5'0" and 121 lbs, she was known for her petite frame and often played the naive younger girl in her early roles. As a Wicked Pictures contract girl, she starred in over 400 adult movies and earned a string of awards, including the AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year in 1998. Her career highlights include multiple AVN and XRCO wins and nominations, and she was inducted into both Halls of Fame.
Born on February 7, 1972, in Louisiana, Stephanie's heritage is a mix of Cajun, Irish, English, French, Spanish, Filipino, and Norwegian, which she described as primarily Latin. She began her career around age 23 and later focused solely on girl-girl scenes. In 2009, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which led her to leave the industry two years later. She now lives in San Diego, California.
Stephanie's professional accolades include the 1998 AVN Award for Best Actress for 'Miscreants' and the 1998 XRCO Award for Best Girl-Girl Scene for the same film. She also won the 1999 AVN Award for Best Couples Sex Scene for 'Shipwreck.' Her work spanned a wide range of content, including solo, girl-girl, and boy-girl scenes. Now in her 50s, she is recognized as a hallmark of the genre, with her legacy cemented by her Hall of Fame inductions.
