Masa Muda

Asia Carrera lahir di New York dari seorang ayah berdarah Jepang dan ibu berdarah Jerman.,[3] the eldest of four siblings.[4] She was raised in Little Silver, New Jersey, attending the Little Silver School District and Red Bank Regional High School. She studied piano as a child and performed at Carnegie Hall twice before the age of 15. At the age of 16, she taught English at Tsuruga College in Japan.[5]

She won a full academic scholarship to Rutgers University, where she majored in Japanese and Business but from which she did not graduate,[6][7] and is a member of Mensa,[5][8] with an IQ of 156.[9]

Career

Adult film career

Carrera's adult film career ran from 1993 to 2003 and included over 400 films and video features.[10] According to interviews, she chose her stage name surname from actress Tia Carrere, changing the spelling for legal reasons.[11]

Carrera was the first Asian performer ever to win the award AVN Female Performer of the Year Award.[12]

Carrera lent her voice to several erotic hentai OVAs for publisher Pink Pineapple, such as Inmu (2001)[13] and Shusaku (1999).[14] In October 2001, Carrera attended the Big Apple Anime Fest in New York City for her voice roles and along with Kobe Tai was an Opening Night Guest of Honor at the fest's Midnight Anime Concourse.[15]

Carrera was also in the 2010 documentary After Porn Ends, which is about about life after being a porn actor.[16]

Other work

In 1998, she appeared in an uncredited cameo role in the film The Big Lebowski in the faux pornographic movie Logjammin' within the film.[17][18]

Carrera was a guest reviewer for Maximum PC magazine.[19]

Carrera was featured in the book Part Asian, 100% Hapa by artist Kip Fulbeck. She also provided one of three featured quotes on the book jacket.

Personal life

After growing tired of impostors claiming to be her on MySpace, Carrera posted her own authentic profile.[20]

Carrera is an avid player of Unreal Tournament. She designed her own game skins and was featured in the show Players on the G4 games cable channel, where she revealed that her screen name is "Megabitchgoddess." Carrera hosted her own Unreal Tournament server that featured custom maps designed by fans who frequented the chatroom that she has hosted on her site since 1997.[butuh rujukan]

She identified investor Warren Buffett as her hero on her website,[21] which Buffett was pleased to learn.[22]

Carrera is an atheist.[23]

Relationships

In September 1995, Carrera married adult film director Bud Lee. They divorced in 2003, but remain good friends.[2] Carrera dated a former grip from her porn sets for a few years until his visa expired and he returned to England. She married nutritionist and author Don Lemmon on December 19, 2003. The couple moved to St. George, Utah, where Carrera gave birth to her first daughter, Catalina, on March 4, 2005.[24] Lemmon was killed in a car accident near Las Vegas on June 10, 2006. At the time, Carrera was almost eight months pregnant with their second child.[25] Concerned about her livelihood and worries of not being able to support her two children on her own, Carrera began to solicit donations on her personal web site.[26][27] Eventually, Carrera got a message from an insurance company that a life insurance policy she had forgotten about did exist for her husband, and she was granted it after mandatory investigation.[27]

On May 13, 2007, she announced on her website that she had filed a request to legally change her son's name to Devin D'Artagnan Lemmon, in honor of Devin DeVasquez, the woman who first introduced her to Donald. She explained that "He's not Don, he never will be Don, and it made me want to start crying every time a random stranger would say, 'Oh he's so cute, what's his name?'" The state made an error in changing his name, however, keeping the "III".[28]

On April 14, 2010, Carrera confessed on her blog that she became an alcoholic after the death of her husband, Donald, that she had joined Alcoholics Anonymous, and was in her third week of sobriety. She emphasized that she still did not believe in God, and that it is "actually not mandatory for joining AA."[29]

Commentary on the Susan Russell pornography case

In 2006, Carrera was asked for commentary by The Spectrum, a St. George, Utah-area newspaper, on the local case of Susan Russell, who was charged with 15 counts of third-degree felony distribution of pornographic material. Russell allegedly sold pornographic materials and sex toys from a back room in her Earrings and More store, potentially violating the "community standards" of the Mormon-dominated town per the Supreme Court case Miller v. California. Carrera opined:

"I deliberately moved to St. George with my husband so we could raise our kids in a conservative atmosphere, in a low-crime, family friendly state. I do appreciate that the laws are there, and will make it harder for my kids to get into trouble when they get older."

However, she also said,

"Do I have a problem with porn being sold here? No, not per se. I have no problem with porn at all. Trust me, they don't exploit women, and watching porn has never been scientifically shown to lead to any increase in crime rates, be it rape, pedophilia, or any other sexual crimes."

Nevertheless, she reiterated that the community's conservatism was the reason she moved there, and that she had no plans to challenge it.[30]
