Porn and Acting Career
Devon was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She began her career at age 19 as a stripper at Al's Diamond Cabaret in Reading, Pennsylvania. As a young girl, her dream was to become a gymnast. However, due to her height she was not able to participate at a competitive level, so she was forced to look to other careers. Her first foray into the adult film industry came in 1998, when she appeared in the film New Breed. It was immediately after making this movie that she went to the Vivid Entertainment offices and told them she wanted to be a star. She also appeared in a photo spread for Stuff, a men's magazine. She was the Penthouse Pet of the month in January 2001.
After her Vivid contract, Devon signed with Digital Playground. In 2004 Devon appeared in the first WMV-HD DVD porn movie ever made, Island Fever 3, filmed on Tahiti and Bora Bora. Devon has performed with over thirty-five male stars and her first and only anal scene was in 2005's Intoxicated.
On July 31, 2005 she appeared in the HBO series, Entourage, appearing as herself in Season 2, Episode 9's "I Love You Too." The same year, she co-starred in the porn film Pirates. Devon has also appeared on MTV's Pimp My Ride.
Devon left Digital Playground in September 2005. By January 2006, she signed with a new company, Ecstasy Mobile. In March 2006, she signed with Black Kat Productions, which never produced any films with Devon. Devon then formed her own production company. In October 2006, she signed a contract with Shane's World to appear in films and direct film scenes for the company. She made her directorial debut for Shane's World in April 2007 with the title, Devon Does Baja. Devon ended her relationship with the company after making claims about inappropriate behavior from one of the actors in the film.
In 2010, Devon was inducted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame.
In 2012, Devon returned to porn, signing with Brazzers. http://www.zzinsider.com/videos/view/brazzers_pornstar_legend_devon

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, so much rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbo’s Camille pale.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
