BIOGRAFÃA

Briana Banks (nacida con el nombre de Briana Bany el 21 de mayo de 1978 en Munich, Alemania) es una actriz porno estadounidense.

Briana naciÃ³ en Munich, Alemania, pero a los 7 aÃ±os se mudÃ³ a Londres, Inglaterra y a los pocos meses volviÃ³ a mudarse a California, Estados Unidos, donde se quedÃ³ hasta la actualidad. A los 18 aÃ±os decidiÃ³ nacionalizarse como estadounidense. A los 19 aÃ±os trabajaba en una compaÃ±Ãa de seguros, lo cual le proporcionaba muy escasos beneficios econÃ³micos. Cansada de sus bajos ingresos, Briana vio un anuncio en un periÃ³dico de California para trabajar de modelo que prometÃa grandes sumas de dinero, asÃ que decidiÃ³ responder. Poco tiempo despuÃ©s Briana comenzÃ³ a posar para varias revistas pornogrÃ¡ficas. Tentada por las grandes cantidades de dinero que se le ofrecÃan, escogiÃ³ el nombre de Mirage para trabajar como actriz porno y rodÃ³ su primera pelÃcula llamada University Coeds 18. En un principio Briana no se tomÃ³ su trabajo como actriz X y modelo de revistas porno muy en serio, lo hacÃa solo para poder aumentar sus ingresos y lo veÃa como algo temporal, pero la pelÃcula porno que habÃa rodado saliÃ³ al mercado con una foto de Briana en la portada y toda la gente que Briana conocÃa se enterÃ³ de aquello. Al saberlo todos sus conocidos que se dedicaba al porno, Briana decidiÃ³ que despuÃ©s de aquello, si todo el mundo pensaba que era actriz porno, no iba a quedarse en la mediocridad y decidiÃ³ que querÃa convertirse en una gran estrella del porno, dedicÃ¡ndose a ello profesionalmente. Briana mejorÃ³ su aspecto y se sometiÃ³ a 2 intervenciones de aumento de pecho hasta conseguir la enorme delantera por la que hoy en dÃa, entre otras cosas, es cÃ©lebre. TambiÃ©n decidiÃ³ cambiarse el nombre de Mirage por su actual nombre de actriz porno que es casi idÃ©ntico a su nombre real, Briana Banks, manteniendo su nombre verdadero y modificando su verdadero apellido solo en 2 letras.

En junio de 2001 se convirtiÃ³ en la Penthouse Pet del mes. Poco tiempo despuÃ©s, gracias a su aspecto, belleza y a su gran talento para rodar porno, Briana se convirtiÃ³ en una actriz muy famosa y reconocida en la industria del porno. En el aÃ±o 2002 protagonizÃ³ junto a su gran amiga la actriz porno Jenna Jameson la pelÃcula Briana Loves Jenna que sin duda fue su mayor paso hacia la fama y Ã©xito totales, ganando asÃ incluso mucho mÃ¡s reconocimiento y convirtiÃ©ndose en una gran favorita de los fans del porno. Briana firmÃ³ un contrato exclusivo con la productora Vivid que continÃºa hasta la fecha. Tuvo una relaciÃ³n de varios aÃ±os y llegÃ³ a prometerse con el actor porno Bobby Vitale, pero su relaciÃ³n terminÃ³ en 2004 y nunca llegaron a casarse. Hoy en dÃa Briana Banks es una de las estrellas porno con mÃ¡s fans y sin duda es una de las mayores estrellas en la industria del porno mundial.

Briana Banks to Star in Vivid Red Light District CoProduction NEWS

Vivid Girl Briana Banks is starring in a co-production for Vivid Entertainment Group and Red Light District directed by Manuel Ferrara.

Ferrara, the two-time, reigning AVN Male Performer of the Year, today is shooting Banks in a scene with Michael Stefano (2004 AVN Male POY), Mick Blue and John Strong in which she will get d.p.âed. Banks will also do a one-on-one with Ferrara and participate in a group scene with Red Light contract girl Brianna Love and Rita Faltoyano, with Stefano, Strong and Ben English.

âBasically, I just want to do something where Vivid, the feature company, meets Red Light, the gonzo company,â Ferrara told AVN Tuesday, noting that Banks is âprobably the strongest Vivid Girlâ in terms of performing. âI want to show that a girl like Briana Banks that is very well known as a contract girl can be as hardcore as the kind of gonzo that Red Light does.

âPlus she has a huge name in the industry. Itâs very good. Itâs going to be the first time we worked together. We have some common friends and have gone out a couple times bowling. Sheâs actually really good at bowling too.â

Ferrara personally selected the cast which also includes Flower Tucci, Courtney Simpson and Tiffany Rayne.

âIt was very important for me to use the Red Light guys (Stefano and Strong) in the movie,â Ferrara said. âIâm just very happy that I could have all the people that I have booked in this movie. I think theyâre all incredible performers.â

âIâm looking forward to shoot that group scene with Brianna, Briana and Rita. It will be the first time a Red Light contract girl shoots with a Vivid contract girl. Both are incredibly beautiful.â

Ferrara said that he will also bang Tucci and use it as the first scene in the movie.

âI think Flower is one of the best performers in the industry. She is nasty and she loves to fuck more than anything, which is the main reason why she is in the industry. I think she is an incredible performer,â he said. âIâm going to start strong with that scene, like weâre not messing around, having strong sex right away. This movie is about showing that with Red Light and Vivid there is not so much difference, besides having Vivid do more features.â

Marci Hirsch, vice president of production for Vivid, told AVN.com that the idea started with a discussion between Vivid national sales manager Howard Levine and Red Light District president David Joseph.

âAnd Howard was saying it would be great if we did some of kind of project together, and then [Vivid co-chairman] Steven [Hirsch] and David talked,â Marci Hirsch said. âThe whole idea is to alleviate the myth that our girls donât do anything. â¦ Our girls donât shy away from anything weâve ever asked them to do.â

Levine added, âDavid Joseph and I were hanging out - I love David - and it was just an idea. And I asked him if we could do a Red Light meets Vivid, and he thought it was a great idea. So we took one of nastiest Vivid Girls and one of his nastiest directors and put them together and itâs like the bride of Frankenstein meets Godzilla. It is going to be some of the nastiest footage.â

Ferrara, a frequent performer for Vivid, said that the award-winning feature company knew he wanted to work with Banks. Marci Hirsch said Vivid would distribute the yet-to-be-titled movie which would be released during the summer at the earliest.

âThis is what Briana wants to do. Itâs not as if we hold her back,â Marci said. âWe shoot our movies the way we shoot our movies, but this is more in line with how she did her scenes before she came to work for us.â

Ferrara said there is a little storyline in the movie that entails Banks meeting Red Light director Jake Malone and telling him how much she wants to do a scene like Red Light does. Malone then hooks her up with Ferrara.

âHeâs going to be the one wanting to connect us together. Sheâs going to show me she is different than what people think of a Vivid contract girl,â Ferrara said. âI really want to show that a Vivid girl can be as nasty as any girl.â

Ferrara indicated this would be his last movie for Red Light before he officially departs for Evil Angel. On Monday, he fucked Simpson and Rayne to kick off the shoot.

âIt went very well. It always goes well when youâre fucking two girls,â Ferrara joked. -AVN
