Nina Hartley Biography

In 1959, Nina Hartley was born to a Jewish mother and a Lutheran father who were both members of the communist party. In 1969, twelve years after her father was blacklisted from jobs due to his membership in the communist party, her parents began to study Zen. Nina was only ten years old at the time and she was greatly influenced by this. Her early years as a child were a great contrast to the normal church upbringing at the time. Hartley has stated during interviews that she still practices Zen philosophy as she finds it useful in her daily life, but she is not an active Buddhist. After graduating from Berkeley High School, Nina decided to attend San Francisco State University to study nursing and she graduated with the highest honors. Nina decided to start working in the adult entertainment industry during the second year of her nursing course. She started working as a stripper in the infamous Mitchell Brother's theater. This work introduced her to the world of pornographic videos, and at the age of 25, Nina began acting in 1984. The 1984 Atom production, Educating Nina, produced by Juliet Anderson (also known as'Aunt Peg' and 'Judy Carr'). This film featured Nina in two scenes and due to its high sales volume, it was regarded by many as Nina's breakthrough role in the industry. Anderson had discovered Nina after meeting her in a market. Since then, Nina has appeared in over 720 titles and has directed 15 videos (and appeared on many websites), working for companies such as Adam & Eve, Caballero, VCX, Bizarre, Vivid and many more. Nina became one of the most sought after mature porn stars in the industry and she was still performing regularly as at 2006, mostly in videos featuring classic porn stars or mature videos.
