Career
By age 18 Julia Ann started modeling, then became a professional mud wrestler in Hollywood before becoming one half of the popular touring strip club feature act Blondage, with Janine Lindemulder, in the early 1990s.[2] Their success led to offers to join the adult film industry.[3]
Julia Ann debuted in adult films in 1993 in Andrew Blake's Hidden Obsessions, in a lesbian sex scene with Lindemulder. She was under contract to Wicked Pictures in 2006,[4] but in May 2007 she posted on the members section of her website that she had not renewed her contract with Wicked.[5]
She has worked as a make-up artist.[6][7]
She has referred to fellow pornographic actress Christy Canyon as one of her "idols" in the business.[8]
