Biography |
Briana Banks (born May 21, 1978 in Munich, Bavaria, Germany)
is a pornographic movie star and model.
Born in Munich, Germany, Banks moved to Britain and then to
the United States when she was seven years old. She chose
U.S. citizenship when she was 18. Her legal name is Briana
Bany. She held various jobs before entering the adult
industry; clerk at an arts and crafts store, file clerk and
secretary. Then at age 21, she quit her job as an insurance
auditor, and responded to a modeling ad in the newspaper.
Briana began her career doing nude modeling (1999) for a
number of adult magazines. Her first film was University
Coeds 18, in which she performed opposite Brandon Iron. In
2000, Banks appeared in Max Hardcore's Pure Max 1 performing
anal, fisting, cum-swallowing and multiple golden shower
acts. She entered the industry under the name 'Mirage', but
began using the moniker 'Briana Banks' on the advice of
fellow star Lita Chase in 2000, after having the first of
two breast enlargement operations, taking her up to a size
34DD. Her first appearance as 'Briana' is in the film
Decadent Whores 9. She has appeared in Penthouse magazine as
Pet of the Month in June 2001 and is billed as having the
longest legs in the business (36" inseam).
Banks is currently signed with Vivid Entertainment. She has
award-winning anal sex scenes to her credit.
In 2002 Briana had an action figure made in her likeness.
The Los Angeles based company Cyber F/X used laser-scanning
equipment to create an exact computer model of her body and
head. The computer model was then used by Sota Toys to
create the action figure. She has a ribbon tattoo on her
lower back and a tattoo of a spiderweb on her elbow.
She married fellow pornstar Bobby Vitale in 2003. On her
myspace page Briana recently mentioned that they are sadly
no longer together.
Briana was a contributing author in the 2004 book How To
Have a XXX Sex Life: The Ultimate Vivid Guide. In the book
she and other Vivid contract stars give advice and tips
about sex, as well as relate anecdotes from their personal
sex-lives.
On 13 October 2006, WTAE-TV News in Pittsburgh, PA reported
that Banks was filing a Federal lawsuit against a sex toy
manufacturer, claiming the company violated an agreement to
make molds of her genitals. Briana Banks' lawsuit claims Doc
Johnson Enterprises made 10 unauthorized products from those
reproductions. Banks claimed the agreement was that the
company would only make two. Banks seeks more than $75,000
in damages. The lawyer for Doc Johnson Enterprises said the
suit is a desperate attempt for Banks to get her name in the
news. The story also referred to Banks as a "local porn
star", leading one to believe she currently resides
somewhere within the Allegheny County region of
Pennsylvania. |
