Kylie Ireland (born May 26, 1970 in Longmont, Colorado, USA) is a pornographic actress, film director, producer, publicist, and Internet radio show host.

Early life

Kylie Ireland was born on May 26, 1970, in Longmont, Colorado, a small community outside Denver. She grew up a good student until her parents divorced when she was 13. At 15 she became rebellious, including experimenting with recreational drugs, until her father sent her to live with her mother, who had remarried, in San Diego, California. In San Diego, Ireland returned to getting good grades, graduated high school, and started college, majoring in broadcast journalism. While going to high school and college, Ireland worked part-time ordering videos for a chain of video stores, which she credits for learning a lot about pornographic films.

Pornography career

Ireland returned to Colorado to continue college partially in Boulder, Colorado, partially in Fort Collins, Colorado, and began to dance in a Fort Collins strip club. One of her first female lovers was a waitress at the same club who would become the pornographic actress Juli Ashton.

Kylie Ireland chose her stage name after Australian singer Kylie Minogue, and her Irish heritage. She dyed her hair blonde, and had breast implants in 1992.

She entered the pornographic film industry in 1994, through an acquaintance with glamour photographer Warren Tang. Her first films were "L'il Ms. Behaved", where she performed with Randy West, and "Up & Cummers 10", with Jenna Jameson; she started at the same time as Jameson. Ireland moved to Los Angeles after her first five films, and performed in a total of 80 films her first year, before returning to Colorado intending to slow down her film work.

In January 1995 Ireland was surprised to be named AVN Best New Starlet by "Adult Video News" Magazine; she was in the bathroom during the awards ceremony when her name was called. This would be the first of many erotic film awards. Fans of X-Rated Entertainment awarded her the 'Vixen' award in 1995 and the 'Fan Favorite' in 1996. She was named by "Playboy" Magazine as one of their Top 10 Porn Stars for 1997. In 2001, AVN listed her among the Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time and in 2005 inducted her into the AVN Hall of Fame.

From 1995 to 2000, Ireland performed in exclusive contracts, starring in a few films per year, while traveling across America and Europe, strip tease dancing and promoting her films. Her first contract, with Sin City Entertainment, was brief, and ended in a breach of contract small claims court lawsuit which went before "Judge Judy" on television; Ireland won.

Retrieved 2007-12-08.] That was followed by a 5 year contract with VCA Pictures. Ireland served as VCA's Director of Publicity from 1999 to 2000, before returning to performing freelance. Demonstrating that no hard feelings remained about the lawsuit, she had a one month stint at Director of Publicity for Sin City in April 2003.

Retrieved 2007-12-08.] In 1996, during her time at VCA, Ireland returned to her natural red hair.cite web|url=http://www.kylieireland.com/aboutme/bio.html|title=Biography|accessdate=2007-10-19|author=Kylie Ireland|date=|publisher=kylieireland.com ]

When her contract with VCA expired, Kylie shattered her "girl next door" image by directing her first movie, "The Whore Next Door". In this movie, she performed many sex acts on-screen for the first time, including her first double-penetration, double-vag, double-anal, and gangbang. [ [http://www.kylieireland.com/aboutme/faq.html#12 Kylie Ireland::About_Me ] ] Since then, she has performed in much more extreme scenes, including performing an extended fisting segment (including anal and DP-fisting) in "Corruption", a film which was directed by her boyfriend, Eli Cross.

Ireland continued to direct, first for Jewel DeNyle at Platinum X Pictures, then other companies. In April 2006, she founded her own adult film company, SlutWerkz, which features women directors (and "token male" Eli Cross as head of production) producing and starring in hardcore gonzo pornography.

Retrieved 2007-12-07.] SlutWerkz launch was delayed from its planned fall 2007 to sometime in 2008 after replacing the original intended distributors. The company had originally planned to release one film per month.

Retrieved 2007-12-07] Since then SlutWerkz has dropped the idea of physical DVD distribution, and will make its product available solely on the internet.

Beyond films

Ireland started her personal website, http://www.kylieireland.com, in 1996, becoming one of the first pornographic actresses on the Web; she describes it as "my obsession". She does Web consulting and public relations for other adult actresses.

During her career, she has had dozens of magazine layouts and covers, an action figure made in her likeness, an exclusive contract with adult toy company Pipedream Products, nearly 400 adult movies, and mainstream projects including appearances on the television series Tales From The Crypt and 20th Century Fox film "Strange Days".cite web|url=http://www.avn.com/index.cfm?objectID=69FCBB72-F91C-4800-82D8EEEB06B6D6FE|title=Kylie Ireland Biography|accessdate=2007-10-19|author=|date=|publisher=AVN.com ]

From October 2003 to February 2006, Ireland hosted a weekly Internet radio show, "Kylie Live" on ksexradio.com, about the pornography industry. She won the KSEX Radio Listener's Choice Award for "Best Radio Voice" in 2004, and the "Best Insight into the Adult Business" award for 2005. [http://www.kylieireland.com/aboutme/faq.html "About Me : FAQ"] , KylieIreland.com. Retrieved 2007-12-07.] In February 2006, Ireland became the host of sex talk show "Private Calls", on Friday evenings for Playboy Radio on Sirius Radio. [http://www.playboy.com/playboytv/radio/popup.html#pc "Private Calls"] , Playboy Radio Schedule. Retrieved 2007-12-06.]

In June 2008, Ireland began hosting a new show with adult performer Derrick Pierce called "The Friday Night Threeway." This show replaced "Private Calls" in the Friday night timeslot, and featured a different format more focused on guest interviews, relationships and sex-related humor.

Personal life

Ireland is divorced, after a ten year marriage to a man outside pornography. They had been married three years before she become a pornographic actress, and she says the divorce was not due to her career.

Ireland says that she "dabbled" in recreational drugs, even before entering the adult industry; she tried most drugs, and used Crystal Meth for a time to stay thin, but her main drug of choice was alcohol. In 2001 she realized her drinking was becoming a problem. She has been clean and sober since August 2001.

As of 2007, Ireland lives in a 10,000 square feet renovated 1927 warehouse loft in downtown Los Angeles, with pornographic director Eli Cross, her boyfriend of six years. They have seven cats and a dog.
