About Briana Banks

Briana Banks is not a beautiful girl by accident; she is pretty for certain reasons. In fact, Briana Banks is a half-German and an half Italian-American girl born in Munich, Germany. Her heritages make her a blue-eyed blonde beauty. Standing at five-foot-nine, Briana Banks is considered to have the most tempting long legs in adult industry. Born on May 21, 1978, Briana Banks was known as Briana Bany. However, inspired by the American super model Tyra Banks, Briana later decided to make Banks her stage surname. Briana Banks was also known as Mirage in her early career years.

Before moving to America permanently at age seven, Briana Banks spent approximately four years in Germany and three years in England. Although it was unclear why her family had relocated several times when Briana Banks and her two-year younger sister were still little, people could easily sense that some sort of family issues existed. As a matter of fact, Briana Banks moved to Simi Valley, California with only her mother and her younger sister while her father still lived in Germany. Moreover, when Briana Banks was only 16, she and her younger sister together had moved out their mother’s place. At age 18, Briana Banks had legally become the guardian of her sister.

On the other hand, having custody of her younger sister and living without their mother also meant that Briana Banks had to be financially independent in order to support her sister and herself. As a teenager, Briana Banks already had plenty of work experiences, including being a store clerk, a secretary, a pizza maker, and, needless to mention, a teen- magazine model. Briana Banks broke into the industry almost effortlessly. When Briana Banks was 21, she responded to a newspaper ad for a nude modeling opportunity. The photographer then referred Briana Banks to the opportunity to shoot her first adult film, University Coeds 18 by Dane Entertainment.

After years in the industry, Briana Banks had established some achievements. She had won the title of Penthouse Pet June 2001 and Best American New Starlet of Hot D’Or Cannes 2001. In addition, AVN had named her adult film, Briana Loves Jenna, both “Best Renting Title of the Year” and “Best Selling Title of the Year” in 2003. Starting in 2006, Briana had left the industry for about two years, seeking a peaceful state of mind in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, Briana Banks had come back to the industry in 2008, reasoning that she missed her crews at Vivid Entertainment and her pornography business. In 2009, the hard working Briana Banks earned a spot in the AVN Hall of Fame at only age 31. Today, Briana Banks is having more fun than ever at work and enjoying times with her younger sister, helping her open a pet store, in California.
