Johnni Black (b. January 14, 1968, Calumet City, Illinois) is a former American pornographic actress actress and model.

Early life, military service

Black was born in 1968, the youngest of four girls. She was raised Catholic and attended catholic schools as a child. She describes her household as being one in which sex and sexuality was not discussed.

After earning an advanced degree in Psychology from University of Illinois in 1990, she enlisted in the U.S. Army. [cite web|url=http://www.wickedpictures.com/bio/f-j/Johnni_Black.html|title=Wicked Pictures|accessdate=2008-09-10] She was eventually stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and participated in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. During her years in the military she became a parachute jumpmaster and an expert field medic.

It was during this time that she met her husband David Johnson ("a.k.a. Michael") who was a drill sergeant. They were married in October 1995. It's also during this time that Black began experimenting with the swinger lifestyle and bisexuality. She was honorably discharged from the Army on May 1, 1996 with the rank of Captain. She and her husband then relocated to Los Angeles, California.

Adult film career

Black acted in six pornographic film scenes before leaving the Army, each of which were attended by her then husband David. The scenes were not distributed for wide-spread release until after her discharge in 1996, at which time David became her manager. From then on, Black stipulated in her contractual agreements with the adult film production companies she worked with, that David must be allowed to be present during production.

Her first "official" adult film appearance was in "Anal Maniacs 4" (1996). Since that film she has been in nearly 300 adult movies, even having a compilation of some of her work produced by "Adam & Eve Productions" entitled "Adam & Eve Signature Series Vol.2: Johnni Black". Her films fall into the sub-categories of hardcore, anal, lesbian, busty, gonzo, group, double penetration, interracial, and bondage.

In 1997 she was nominated for the "Best New Starlet Award" by the Cyberspace Adult Video Review (CAVR). She won the "Hottest Star Award" from CAVR two years in a row, 1997 and 1998. Also in 1998 she won the AVN Award for "Best New Starlet".

In addition to her prolific adult film acting career, Black formed a production company called Johnni Black Productions (JB Productions). She has directed two adult films, both in 1998, "Rubber Riders" and "Chasin' Pink". Black also has two product lines bearing her name, "Johnni Black's Sensual Hot Wax" and "Johnni Black's Anal Beads", both still in production.
