Biography
Ann worked as 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.
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 contracted with Digital Playground (1999) and Wicked Pictures (2002). She contracted with Wicked Pictures again in 2006, but in May, 2007 she posted on the members section of her website that she had not renewed her contract with Wicked. On June 28, 2007 her first scene since leaving Wicked Pictures debuted on Naughty America's Naughty Office. 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".
She married adult film director Michael Raven on June 21, 2003, but they have since divorced. Besides breast augmentation, Julia Ann also had labiaplasty and a nose job (to remove the aftereffects of a broken nose suffered when a horse kicked her in the face). Ann is a long-time member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
