Career

She started in the porn industry at age 18 and initially performed only with her then-husband (who went by the pseudonym of Red Bone[4]) and other female stars.[2] Her stage name is of Indian origin and means "of the spirit".[1] In 1997, she divorced Red Bone and started working with other male performers.[2] By 2000, she had remarried to fellow porn star Tod Alexander, but they divorced by 2003.[5]

In 2000, she took a break from the adult film business to try the mainstream film industry. She dyed her hair red and wore brown contacts to minimize the chance of someone recognizing her. She appeared in a speaking role on NYPD Blue and was in Path to War as LBJ’s eldest daughter. She returned to the porn industry in 2003 after John Frankenheimer's death, as most of her connections had gone.[1]

In 2004, she filed a petition with Congressman Brad Sherman requesting that the age requirement for adult performers be raised from 18 to 21, saying that "People right out of high school in this country don't seem to have the foresight to make such life-altering decisions."[6] In 2006 she was nominated at the XRCO awards for "MILF of the year".[7]

RayVeness took a second break from the adult industry — from June ’06 to Aug. ’07 — to have a child via in vitro fertilization.[1]
