Biography
Kassin is the eldest of three children.[4] She was 10 years old when the Berlin Wall came down.[5] When she was 15 years old, she had her first job selling ice cream at an Italian restaurant after school and on the weekends. She was a waitress for six years during high school and college.
In September 2000, she started working as a nude model posing for local amateur photographers and websites. She adopted the first name "Katja" as her pseudonym at the suggestion of the photographer at her first nude shoot, after his niece.[4] After three years, she moved into softcore shoots[6] and eventually came in contact with German porn star Dru Berrymore.[4]
Kassin was introduced to Mark Spiegler of the talent agency Spiegler Girls.[7] Her first scene in the United States was filmed in March 2003; before that she had only done two scenes in Europe.[7] She permanently moved to the Los Angeles area in late 2004 and married a fellow male performer in January 2004.[8]
On June 1, 2007 she received breast augmentation surgery from Dr. Jacobs in New York City. The 350cc silicone implants were inserted through the nipple and under the muscle. Her first shoot after recovery was on June 26, 2007.[9]
In November of 2009, Kassin's announcement of her retirement "from the adult industry and from sex/adult work in general" was carried on internet outlets including "Adult DVD Talk". "The reason is that I have done all that there is to do in the porn/adult/stripper/escort universe."[10]
