About Asia Carrera

Standing at five-foot-eight-point-five, Asia Carrera has the runway-model body and killer dark brown eyes. Asia Carrera is gorgeous for many reasons. In fact, she inherited her beauty from her Japanese and German parents. Born on August 6, 1973 in the Big Apple, Asia Carrera’s given name was Jessica Steinhauser. Even though Asia Carrera was born in New York City, she and her three younger siblings grew up in Little Silver, New Jersey.

When she was young, Asia Carrera was the smart and talented girl that her family has always been proud of. In fact, Asia Carrera was one of the 100,000 members of the high-IQ society, Mensa. Before age 15, Asia Carrera had already had two piano recitals at Carnegie Hall.  Moreover, when Asia Carrera was 16, she became an English teacher at a private junior college in Tsuruga, Japan. It was no doubt that Asia Carrera was already an overachiever in her teens.

Nevertheless, Asia Carrera hated the pressure she had at home – the pressure to be the successful, well-behaved girl. Consequently, Asia Carrera decided to live on her own without informing her parents beforehand. In order to support her daily expenses, Asia Carrera started working as an exotic dancer in many different bars in New Jersey. In 1993, Asia Carrera moved to California, and soon she signed a contract with Vivid Entertainment, the largest adult video production and distribution company in the world. During Asia Carrera’s pornography career, she won several awards from the AVN, including the titles of Female Performer of the Year (1995) and Best Couple Sex Scene (2000). Not surprisingly, Asia Carrera also earned a spot on AVN’s Hall of Fame.

On the other hand, Asia Carrera’s personal life might not seem as glamorous as her achievements in the porn industry. In fact, Asia Carrera divorced her adult-film-director husband after eight years of marriage in 2003. Later in the same year, Asia Carrera found her true love, Donald Lemmon, and got married again. Unfortunately, Don Lemmon died in a car accident in 2006 while Asia Carrera was pregnant with their second child. Today, Asia Carrera is retired from the pornography industry and describes herself as a full-time mom. Nevertheless, Asia Carrera stays in touch with her fans by blogging on her personal website. With the blessing from fans and family, this hot single-mom is as strong and independent as she has always been.
