Template:Female adult bio Devinn Lane (born March 28, 1972 in Newport Beach, California, U.S.) is an adult model, pornographic actress, writer, director and producer. She is sometimes credited as Devin Lane or Devon Lane. She was chosen Penthouse Pet of the Month October 1999.
Biography
Lane was raised by a fundamentalist Christian preacher. Lane became pregnant at 16 and began stripping to support herself and her child in 1990. In 1996, while still dancing, she was offered work posing in soft-core men's magazines.
Adult film career
She made her hardcore film debut in 1999, performing in only lesbian or girl/girl scenes. She signed an exclusive contract for the production company Wicked Pictures in December 1999. She has directed many films, notably all five installments of The Devinn Lane Show. In 2003 she began performing with men, starting with the final scene in The Devinn Lane Show 5: Save The Best For Last. Over the next two years she performed scenes with men in Kink, Lovestruck, Space Nuts, Improper Conduct, Wicked Sex Party 6, Beautiful, Stiletto, Tuff Chick, two Road Trixx movies (which she also directed), and Lover's Lane.
As of 2005, she went on indefinite hiatus from on-screen work, focusing on directing for the production company Shane's World.
Her first producer credit is on the film Beautiful/Nasty which was nominated for the AVN Award Best All-Girl Feature in 2002.
In addition to hardcore work, Lane also hosted Playboy TV's mock reality show 7 Lives Exposed, which ended in 2007, in Season 6 and has appeared in several softcore films which appear on DVD and on the Cinemax channels.
Lane is currently a freelance director in the industry. Products directed by Lane are scheduled to be released by Sin City, Homegrown Video, Spice, Mach 2 and Metro in 2007.
Lawsuit
In October 2008, Lane filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Digital Playground, Vivid Entertainment Group, Moniker Online Services among other companies alleging that they profited from domain names similar to her performer name and did not compensate her. The defendants in the lawsuit say it is a frivilous lawsuit and it is a retaliation lawsuit for her career as a contract girl ending due to her age and lack of public demand for her services. In Februar 2009, she dismissed her claims against most of the the companies she was suing, leaving only Privacy Protect and Pixel named in the suit. Her attorney declined comment at the time on why she was dropping those firms.
Awards
Lane was nominated in 2001 for Best New Starlet at the Hot D'Or Awards and has been nominated for several AVN Awards including Best Actress, Female Performer of the Year (twice) and Best Supporting Actress (twice). To date she has won 2 AVN Awards; Best Actress – Video for Breathless and Best Solo Sex Scene for In Style.
