Briana Banks (born Briana Bany on May 21, 1979 in Munich, Germany) is a German-born American pornographic actress and model. Briana Banks is a bodaciously breasty beauty who burst onto the hardcore scene in 1999 under the name Mirage, leaving a whole string of fiery, flat-out frenetic performances in her wanton wake. Mirage was a ribald ravisher whose hair color alternated between blonde and brown and back again. Whatever Briana Banks hair color, though, she was surely one of the sexiest sirens around. She sported an all-natural frame that was home to some wonderful God-given curves. With lusciously long legs, a winning smile and a couple of tattoos that pointed to her wild side, Mirage came across like a spunky cheerleader who'd turned her energy towards decidedly more carnal pursuits. Born in Munich, Germany, to a German father and American mother, Banks moved to Britain at the age of four, and then to the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley in California, United States when she was seven years old. Her father still lives in Germany. She moved out of her mother's house when she was 16 years old, taking her 14 year old sister with her. She got custody of her sister when she turned 18. She modeled as a teenager, including a cover of Teen Magazine. She held various other jobs before entering the adult industry; making pizza, clerk at an arts and crafts store, file clerk, and secretary. Mirage started sweating her way through the porno scene in early 1999, and she didn't waste any time in establishing herself as a fiery force to be reckoned with. She leapt right into the thick of things with a string of appearances in pro-am flicks, turning in some noteworthy work in such stellar sexvids as 'More Dirty Debutantes #108' and 'Video Virgins #47.' Mirage became more sure of herself and sexually forthright with each new outing, losing all hints of the somewhat shy sex kitten she was when she started. At age 20, in August 1999, she responded to an ad in the newspaper to do nude modeling for adult magazines. The photographer put her in a pornographic film. Her first film was University Coeds 18, for Dane Entertainment, in which she performed opposite Brandon Iron. She entered the industry under the name "Mirage", but began calling herself "Briana Banks" in 2000, after having the first of two breast enlargement operations. Her first appearance as 'Briana' was in the film Decadent Whores 9. She appeared in Penthouse magazine as Pet of the Month in June 2001. The same year, she signed with Vivid Entertainment. Banks claims to have the longest legs in the business (36"/91cm inseam),and is known for having large breasts on a thin body. Briana Banks is listed as one of the Top 25 Hottest Blonde Pornstars according to adult site Gamelink. She has a ribbon tattoo on her lower back. For several years, her regular boyfriend was pornographic actor Bobby Vitale, but they broke up by 2006. Around mid-2000, Mirage made a break with her porn past. She changed her name to Briana Banks, bleached her hair blonde, pumped her breasts up to eye-popping levels and set out to conquer the hardcore world as a do-anything dazzler. Since the name change and boob job, Briana Banks has established herself as one of the fan favorites among ultra-breasty blonde bombshells. She's retained that spunky sexual zeal that was Mirage's best feature, and added an even nastier and wilder side.Leggy, luscious and exuding a certain rare aura of class, Briana Banks has molded herself into a unique and popular porn starlet. She continues to churn and burn her way through the skin biz, winning fans with her busty good looks and do-anything approach. Briana Banks is without a doubt one of the sexiest and most popular hardcore starlets currently working, and fans of top-heavy blonde beauties try to never miss a video release. In 2002 Banks was one of the first pornographic actresses to have an action figure made in her likeness, by Los Angeles based company Cyber F/X and Sota Toys. Banks was a contributing author in the 2004 book How To Have a XXX Sex Life: The Ultimate Vivid Guide (from ReganBooks). In the book she and other Vivid contract stars give advice and tips about sex, as well as relate anecdotes from their personal sex-lives. On 13 October 2006, Banks reportedly filed a federal lawsuit seeking more than US$75,000 in damages against Doc Johnson Enterprises charging that they had created unauthorized products from molds of her genitals. "I always thought of myself as a skinny, dorky, giraffe looking kid," Briana says. "Even though I had made the cover of Teen magazine as a model, I wasn’t making any money. The day I quit my insurance job I got in a car accident and didn’t even have enough cash to move my sister and me into an apartment from the room we’d been renting, so I answered an ad in L.A. Weekly that said I could make up to $1,000 a day modeling." |
