Early life

[edit]

Steele was born in San Diego, California,[1][2] and grew up in Escondido, California.[3] Before starting her adult film career, she worked at Starbucks and at a golf course snack bar.[2]

Career

[edit]

In 2005, Steele traveled to Hollywood, Los Angeles, for the signing of Pirates. There, she met Jesse Jane, who advised her to get into the adult industry.[1][3] Steele did not contact Digital Playground until a couple of years later on February 29, 2008. Joone, the founder of Digital Playground, signed her to an exclusive contract that same day;[1][2] she was 19.[4] In 2009, Steele starred in an adult film with former UFC fighter War Machine.[5] In January 2011, Steele co-hosted the AVN Awards.[2]

During her career, Steele appeared in the covers or issues of several publications, such as Club, Cheri, High Society, Hustler, Penthouse, and Video World, among others.[6] She also acted in several mainstream films and television series, including Piranha 3D (2010), Manswers (2010), Life on Top (2011), NTSF:SD:SUV:: (2011), and The Girl's Guide to Depravity (2012). In Piranha 3D, she danced with Kelly Brook and shared an underwater kiss with Brook.[7]

On September 20, 2013, Steele signed a two-year contract with director Axel Braun.[8][9] In 2014, about how she would prepare for retirement from pornography, Steele stated: "I have my real estate license, so [I'm] selling properties and owning and also renting them out. That's something I've been working on. I've also been thinking of opening my own hair salon one day."[10]
