Early years
Love was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father, a U.S. Army soldier, was stationed. At age seven, she, her parents and her five sisters moved to New Haven, Connecticut. She graduated high school at age 16 and then earned a bachelor's degree and a masters in accounting.[4] She is a certified public accountant.[5]
Personal life
On the May 11, 2006 Howard Stern Show, Love said that while she was raised a Roman Catholic, she converted to Judaism later in life. She indicated that she was married and that she hoped to have children in the near future.[6] In a 2007 interview with Gamelink, she said her relationship with her husband was only the third real relationship with a man she had ever had, and that theirs was an open relationship.[7]
Adult film career
According to IMDb, in addition to starring in porn, Love is also a producer, director, and talent manager. She has acted in more than 250 adult films, and appeared as herself on TV several times. She began directing and producing films in 2004.[8] She has also established her own talent agency, Adult Talent Managers[9], and signed Memphis Monroe, and Lisa Daniels as contract girls. She has said that her agency's representation of gay men in addition to women is unique in the industry.[7]
She is part-owner of a nightclub in Colorado Springs called 13 Pure; it opened in January 2008.[10] In August 2008, she worked on a controversial bisexual film directed by Chi Chi LaRue entitled Shifting Gears. LaRue coined the term "straight-for-pay" (a play on the porn industry term "gay-for-pay"), to characterize actor Blake Riley's liking his first encounter with a woman (Love).[11]
