Julia Ann (born October 8, 1969) is an American pornographic actress, feature dancer and former Penthouse Pet; she is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.

Julia Ann was born Julia Tavella in Glendale, California. She grew up around animals and developed a love for horses; Julia also took piano lessons and learned to swim "like a fish." At age 12 she moved to Idyllwild, California, where she attended a college-prep school before moving to Los Angeles to live with her grandmother at age 17. By age 18, Julia was modelling, and then became a professional mud wrestler in Hollywood before becoming one half of the popular touring strip club feature act Blondage, with Janine Lindemulder, in the early 1990s. Their success led to offers to join the adult film industry.

Julia Ann debuted in adult films in 1993 in Andrew Blake's Hidden Obsessions, in a lesbian sex scene with Lindemulder. She has been a contract girl throughout most of her career. Her first exclusive contract was with Vivid Entertainment (during which time she worked solo and also made a series of Blondage films with Lindemulder). Later she had contracts with Digital Playground (1999) and Wicked Pictures (2002). She was again on contract with Wicked Pictures in 2006, but in May 2007 she posted on the members section of her website that she had not renewed her contract with Wicked. She has since started working as a makeup artist. Along with Inari Vachs and other female porn actresses, Ann was a host of the Playboy TV show Naughty Amateur Home Videos.

Charley Chase (October 20, 1893 - June 20, 1940) was an American comedian, actor, screenwriter and film director, best known for his work in Hal Roach short film comedies. He was the older brother of comedian/director James Parrott.

Born Charles Joseph Parrott in Baltimore, Maryland, Chase began performing in vaudeville as a teenager and started his career in films by working at the Christie Film Company in 1912. He then moved to Keystone Studios, where he began appearing in bit parts in the Mack Sennett films, including those of Charlie Chaplin. By 1915 he was playing juvenile leads in the Keystones, and directing some of the films as Charles Parrott. His Keystone credentials were good enough to get him steady work as a comedy director with other companies; he directed many of Chaplin imitator Billy West's comedies, which featured a young Oliver Hardy as villain.

He worked at L-KO Kompany during its final months of existence. Then in 1920, Chase began working as a film director for Hal Roach Studios. Among his notable early works for Roach was supervising the first entries in the Our Gang series, as well as directing several films starring Lloyd Hamilton; like many other silent comedians, Chase is reported to have regarded Hamilton's work as a major influence on that of his own. Chase became director-general of the Hal Roach studio in late 1921, supervising the production of all the Roach series except the Harold Lloyd comedies. Following Lloyd's departure from the studio in 1923, Chase moved back in front of the camera with his own series of shorts, adopting the screen name Charley Chase.

Brea Bennett (born February 7, 1987), is an American pornographic actress.

Bennett grew up in Arizona. She grew up wanting to be a singer, initially studying opera; but she has since expanded her repertoire. She once said "I can be Charlotte Church one second and then I can be Kittie another." She has mentioned that she once made a CD with her father.

After graduating high school, she worked as a beauty consultant, and then as a receptionist in a real estate office.

She is best known as the first winner of the television reality show Jenna's American Sex Star where she won an exclusive contract with Jenna Jameson's movie studio ClubJenna. Season 1 judges included Christy Canyon, Ron Jeremy, and Jim Powers. Season 1 finalists were Tiffany Taylor, Michelle Maylene, Lacie Heart, and Brea Bennett. Bennett was personally selected by Jameson as a “wildcard” finalist. Bennett's association with Jameson ended in 2007 when she announced during an interview in August of that year that she was no longer contracted as a Club Jenna girl.

Jesse Jane (born Cindy Taylor on July 16, 1980 in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American pornographic actress and model.

Jane was a military brat who grew up on various military bases in the Midwestern United States. She did extensive dance training and was a varsity cheerleader at her high school in Rose Hill, Kansas. She graduated from high school in Moore, Oklahoma.

Jane read an article on Tera Patrick that said that Patrick worked for adult-film production company Digital Playground. She contacted them and was quickly signed to a contract. Her first scene was with Devon in No Limits. Within months of winning the contract, she appeared on Showtime Network's Family Business, where she was filmed at the Adult Video News awards show and convention. Jane appeared on the cover of Texas-based metal band Drowning Pool's second album Desensitized and was featured in the music video for the album's first hit single, "Step Up." She has said that Drowning Pool is one of her favorite bands. On the July 25, 2006 episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, during the "Jay Walking" segment, she gave her name as "Cindy" and said that she currently worked at Hooters. An adult magazine cover featuring her as Jesse Jane was then shown onscreen. In 2005, she was featured as UnRated Magazine's Vixen, to launch the music review magazine's new edition of Vixens. The films in which Digital Playground cast Jane, such as No Limits, Beat the Devil, and Loaded, proved popular enough to warrant her own line of sex toys, as well as secure nominations for several awards. She starred in the erotic film series "Pirates".

Kayden Kross (born September 15, 1985) is an American pornographic actress and lobbyist for the adult entertainment industry.

Kross was born and raised in Sacramento, California. She has described herself in high school as "the book nerd".

Her movies with Vivid included Kayden's First Time, Hard Time, and Be Here Now. Unhappy with the company, she became a free agent one year later when she did not renew her contract. After one month of being a free agent, she signed an exclusive contract with Adam & Eve.

Kross has appeared in several episodes of The Block, a reality snowboarding show that aired on G4TV, in which the Vivid Girls went to The Block hotel for a photo shoot. She also appeared on the Gene Simmons' reality show, Family Jewels. She was named Penthouse Pet of the Month for September 2008.
