Stephanie Swift (born on February 7, 1972 in Louisiana) is a American pornographic actress who has been actively making movies (with occasional breaks) since 1995. She has appeared in over 370 adult movies.

Stephanie Swift was born in Louisiana and has described herself as a mutt in terms of ethnicity: Cajun, Irish, English, French, Spanish, Filipino and Norwegian. When she was 10 years old, her father died of cancer and her family then relocated to Southern California.[1] At 19 she lived in San Diego, California and worked as a stripper for 6 months at a local club called The Body Shop (not to be confused with the cosmetics store chain). She earned an Associate's Degree in Dental Assistance, and eventually became a registered dental assistant. Afterward she posed in nude modelling photographs for five years and was featured in Club International.[citation needed]

Adult film career

She segued from nude model work to the region's adult film industry, where she has been since 1995. Her first softcore scene was in Playboy TV's Up Close and Dangerous. Her first hardcore sex scene was in Space Sirens. She went on to win several awards, including AVN's Female Performer of the Year in 1997.

She was for a period a contract girl with Wicked Pictures.[2]

She has an official website and makes appearances on the exotic dancing circuit as a featured performer. In 2006, Swift was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

In 2004 she launched her own production company called Swift Entertainment, in which she is a director, screenwriter and producer.

Cancer

In August 2009, she announced that she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer of the left breast and has since elected to have a double mastectomy performed at the hospital where her mother works.[3][4] Tests following the first operation revealed that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and a second surgery was scheduled for September 2009.[5] Her treatment plan includes chemotherapy.[6]

Stephanie claims her first surgery was delayed for 3 months because she was unable to make the down payment for the cost of surgery and is requesting donations to help pay her medical costs. A fund-raising event called "Sex at the Shore" was held on October 10, 2009 on her behalf.[6][7] Stephanie has not made any statements regarding her plans to return to the adult entertainment industry.[citation needed]
