Nina Hartley was born to a family of liberal Jews, Hartley attended nursing school and graduated magna cum laude. In her sophomore year of nursing school she started nude dancing. She made her foray into the world of pornographic movies during her junior year, in 1984. Her debut performance was in the film Educating Nina which was produced by the veteran porn star Juliet Anderson, and this proved to be a massive hit. Since then she has gone on to feature in over 400 first-run adult films, and has become one of the most enduring and recognisable performers in the industry. Hartley crossed over into mainstream Hollywood with an appearance in the 1997 film Boogie Nights in which she played a pornstar. Nina Hartley has been an advocate for the adult film industry's right to exist, and, prior to the rise to stardom of Jenna Jameson, had often been called upon when television news programs and talk shows required an articulate, leading adult film actress to support the pro side. In addition to her more traditional roles in porn films, she has also produced, directed, and starred in a series of Guide to... films covering the entire sexual spectrum, from basic sexual intercourse and foreplay to anal intercourse and bondage. Hartley had what has been described as the longest stable relation in the adult business, living in a threesome with her husband Dave whom she met when she was 19, and "wife" Bobbi for 20 years. Hartley has since left that relationship and has married Ira Levant aka Ernest Greene.

Hi to Nina Hartley,
Just wanted to thank you for your straightforward and joyful instructions on a woman's parts, and how to please 'em!
I read your interview with Brad Warner, and your biography; I always wanted to live in Berkeley, being raised in the Bay Area myself, and I too was inspired by the counter-cultural revolution. I was also inspired by Zen, and by rock and roll, and I have now taught myself to sit the lotus and to dance, and to play a few Dylan songs.
I took notes along the way because I think I got very lucky to find some of the information I needed, and like you I have put it up online (at www.zenmudra.com); I feel that what you do educationally has a powerful message for change for our society, and it's an inspiration to me to see that the counter-cultural revolution is indeed alive and well in your work, and that there is this potential for an individual to wreak major havoc (on the ignorance at large) through compassionate wisdom.
yours truly, Mark
