Juli Ashton

Colorado-born Juli Ashton has the reputation of being a nice girl in a not-always-so-nice business. She graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Spanish and History, working as a nightclub waitress to put herself through college. She taught Spanish in a junior high school for a year, but her striking looks and spectacular figure weren't meant to be cooped up in a classroom, and in 1990 she began appearing in adult films. She has also had smaller roles in "mainstream" films, most notably in the Trey Parker/Matt Stone comedy Orgazmo (1997), in which she played Steffi. In addition to her film work, she has appeared as a model in many magazines and toured as an exotic dancer. Despite the pressures of the business she has been in, she still manages to radiate a girl-next-door personality (she has, with some justification, been compared personality-wise to actress Lisa Kudrow), and is an avid camper and a devotee of Mexican cuisine. Currently she is involved with a management group called Risqué Business.
