Biography

Lane was adopted^{[citation needed]} and raised by a fundamentalist Christian preacher. Lane became pregnant at 16 and began stripping to support herself and her child in 1990.^[1] In 1996, while still dancing, she was offered work posing in soft-core men's magazines. She has appeared in many mainstream publications, including Premiere, Stuff, LA Weekly and LA Times.^{[citation needed]}

Adult film career

She made her hardcore film debut in 1999, performing in only lesbian or girl/girl scenes. She eventually received an exclusive contract for the production company Wicked Pictures. She has directed many films, notably all five installments of The Devinn Lane Show. In 2003 she began performing with men, starting with the final scene in The Devinn Lane Show 5: Save The Best For Last.^{[citation needed]} Over the next two years she performed scenes with men in Kink, Lovestruck, Space Nuts, Improper Conduct, Wicked Sex Party 6, Beautiful, Stiletto, Tuff Chick, two Road Trixx movies (which she also directed), and Lover's Lane.

As of 2005, she went on indefinite hiatus from on-screen work, focusing on directing for the production company Shane's World.

Her first producer credit is on the film Beautiful/Nasty which was nominated for the AVN Award Best All-Girl Feature in 2002.

In addition to hardcore work, Lane also hosted Playboy TV's mock reality show 7 Lives Exposed, which ended in 2007, in Season 6 and has appeared in several softcore films which appear on DVD and on the Cinemax channels.

Lane is currently a freelance director in the industry. Products directed by Lane are scheduled to be released by Sin City, Homegrown Video, Spice, Mach 2 and Metro in 2007.^{[citation needed]}

Lawsuit

In October 2008, Lane filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Digital Playground, Vivid Entertainment Group, Moniker Online Services among other companies alleging that they profited from domain names similar to her performer name and did not compensate her. The defendants in the lawsuit say it is a frivilous lawsuit and it is a retaliation lawsuit for her career as a contract girl ending due to her age and lack of public demand for her services. [1]

Awards

Lane was nominated in 2001 for Best New Starlet at the Hot D'Or Awards and has been nominated for several AVN Awards including Best Actress, Female Performer of the Year (twice) and Best Supporting Actress (twice).
