'''Devinn Lane''' (born March 28,1972 in Newport Beach, California, USA) 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

The daughter of a fundamentalist Christian preacher Lane had 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. She has appeared in many mainstream publications, including ''Premiere'', ''Stuff'', ''LA Weekly'' and ''LA Times''.

She made her hardcore film debut in 1999, performing in only lesbian or ''girl/girl'' scenes. She eventually received an exclusive contract for the production company Wicked Pictures. 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'', ''Improper Conduct'', ''Wicked Sex Party 6'', ''Beautiful'', ''Stiletto'', ''Tuff Chick'', and two ''Road Trixx'' movies (which she also directed). As of 2005, she went on indefinite hiatus from on-screen work, focusing on directing for the production company Shane's World. In a departure from the stylish, "couples porn" by Wicked, Shane's World films are plotless, "gonzo", stripped down features.

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, Devinn also hosts Playboy TV's reality show 7 Lives Exposed and has appeared in several softcore films which appear on DVD and on the Cinemax channels. Her current primary business ventures include Club Fast Lane, exotic travel packages for singles and couples to meet and spend time with adult film stars and Agent M.I.L.F., a website for women aged 25-45 to feature in hardcore shorts directed by Devinn.

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''.
