The incredible Nina Hartley is the kind of performer who goes beyond the words “porn star.” She is that rare star who can genuinely be called a legend. Surely she will go down in history for having the longest career of any woman in the adult industry, if she hasn’t already. Performing since 1984, she’s been in hundreds of movies and is an accomplished director, often co-helming with her husband, Ernest Green. Her ass is world-class even in her 50s and her sexual appetite remains strong.
Born in Berkeley, California on March 11, 1959, Nina studied nursing. While she was still student in 1982, she took a weekend job stripping at San Francisco’s famous Mitchell Brothers O’Farrell Theater. Her then-husband had a chance meeting with porn star/director Juliet Anderson, who cast her in the 1984 classic Educating Nina (distributed by Fuck Cuts Productions). Nina continued to perform part-time until she graduated with honors from San Francisco State University. She loved doing porn so much that she made it her full-time career after college, making her a bona fide sexy nurse.
After 20 years of marriage that included a long-term polyamorous relationship with another woman, Nina and her first husband divorced. Now happily married to Ernest Greene, the two of them are open, honest swingers. You’ll often find the couple at the annual Lifestyles Convention for swingers.
Nina has never retired. Her performances during the ’80s included some bona fide classics. In Tracy in Heaven (Western Visuals) she played the title character, a woman who has died and gone to heaven. Beyond the pearly gates, things are smuttier than she ever could have imagined! She also starred in one of the most popular movies of the decade, Taboo 6 (Standard Digital), which remains a favorite for its unbridled fantasies and deeply sensual performances.
The Secret Life of Nina Hartley (VCA), released a decade into her career, showed the world that Nina wasn’t about to slow down. In fact, she was just ramping up into ever dirtier, more uninhibited performances. Nina wrote and directed the film herself in addition to starring in it, making this a real passion project from start to finish.
P.T. Anderson sought Nina out for a part in his mainstream film Boogie Nights, released in 1997. As the unfaithful wife of William H. Macy’s character, Nina was a standout even among the mainstream Hollywood cast.
Years after she left the vanilla sex life behind, Nina decided it was time to show her fans how to broaden their own erotic horizons with her Nina Hartley’s Guide movie series and a line of books. Nina Hartley’s Guide to Anal Sex (Adam & Eve) is a classic and still one of her most popular movies ever. We couldn’t begin to guess how many couples have used this video to guide them through the back door. A later video in the series, Nina Hartley’s Guide to Bondage Sex (Adam & Eve), was one of many kinky titles Nina released in the last decade or so, as her career has delved more frequently into the fetish lifestyle. Recently, Adam & Eve has collected the best of her newer Nina Knows series, in which she presents a variety of ideas to achieve exhilarating, deeply satisfying, intimate, and profoundly liberating sex. All of Nina’s instructional videos feature smoking-hot hands-on demonstrations starring a variety of the best performers.
Bisexual in her private life, Nina has given some of her best performances in lesbian scenes. Her latest movie is Lesbian Adventures: Strap-On Specialists 10 from Sweetheart Video. As an eccentric human sexuality professor, Nina has a hot new teaching assistant, Sara Luvv. She shows Sara the ways of oral sex and strap-on fucking as a means to get ahead in life. Of course, it’s also a lot of fun! For the ultimate lesbian showdown, don’t miss The Seduction of Nina Hartley from Devil’s Film. It’s a wild all-girl gangbang fantasy as the tables are turned on the mature MILF we all know and love.
Nina Hartley is still melting our screens with her fun-loving, sensual approach to sex. Find out why she’s one of the most beloved, award-winning porn stars in history.
