Grey has been featured in music videos,[5] documentaries,[6] advertising campaigns,[7] artworks,[8] and magazines.[9] After her 2009 feature film debut as the lead in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, she starred in independent films including Open Windows, the Canadian black comedy horror film Smash Cut and the horror film Would You Rather. In 2011, she played a fictionalized version of herself in the HBO comedy-drama series Entourage.

Grey was a co-founder, singer, and writer of aTelecine,[10] an industrial music band.[11] She is the author of The Juliette Society trilogy of novels and also writes, directs, and co-produces films and music videos.[12][13]

Early life

Grey – whose original name is Marina Ann Hantzis – [2] was born in North Highlands, California into a working-class family.[1] Her father was a Greek-American who worked as a mechanic and died in June 2015.[14] Her mother is of English, Irish, and Polish descent.[15] Grey's parents divorced before she started middle school and she was subsequently raised by her mother, who remarried in 2000.[1] She was raised as an adherent of Catholicism.[16]

Grey attended four high schools, including Highlands High in Sacramento, California, and was unhappy at each. [1] She graduated a year early at the age of 17.[17] In late 2005, she attended Sacramento City College and took classes in film, dance, and acting.[18] She bussed tables at a Black Angus steakhouse until March 2006 and saved $7,000 for a move to Los Angeles.[1]

Career
Dave Navarro with Grey in 2007

In May 2006, Sasha Grey moved to Los Angeles, California, and performed in hardcore pornography.[19] She considered calling herself Anna Karina,[1] after the French New Wave actress of the same name, before choosing Sasha Grey; "Sasha" was taken from Sascha Konietzko of the band KMFDM,[20] and "Grey" comes from Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray[21] or the Kinsey scale, a measurement of homosexual and heterosexual attraction.[22][23]

Grey's first scene was an orgy with Rocco Siffredi for Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge by John Stagliano. Grey quickly made a name for herself in the adult film industry after she asked Siffredi to punch her in the stomach; she later stated she was improvising.[24] Less than six months after entering the adult industry, Grey was featured in the November 2006 edition of Los Angeles where she was flagged as a potentially major star, perhaps the next Jenna Jameson.[1] In December 2006, Grey was interviewed on the syndicated entertainment industry news program The Insider.[25]

In January 2007, Grey was the recipient of awards for "Best Three Way Sex Scene" in Fuck Slaves and "Best Group Scene" in Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge at the 24th AVN Adult Movie Awards.[26] In February 2007, Grey appeared on The Tyra Banks Show and discussed teenagers in the sex industry. There was speculation the show was heavily manipulated through editing and did not include her defense of adult film as a career choice. The show was also criticized for doing this to increase its dramatic value.[27][28]

In 2008, she became the youngest woman to win the AVN Female Performer of the Year Award award.[29] She also won in the category "Best Oral Sex Scene" for Babysitters at the 25th AVN Awards.[30] Grey starred in Dave Navarro's film Broken, for which she won the AVN Best High End All-Sex Release award.[31][32] In 2008 Grey announced that she would represent herself in the adult industry through her agency L.A. Factory Girls.[33] Grey appeared in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, which won in 15 categories at the 26th AVN Awards ceremony in 2009.[34]

Grey at Exxxotica NY in 2009

A. O. Scott of The New York Times described Grey's pornography career as "distinguished both by the extremity of what she is willing to do and an unusual degree of intellectual seriousness about doing it".[35] In 2009, she was voted number one on Genesis magazine's 11th annual edition of its "Porn's Hot 100" issue; in the 10th edition 2008 she was sixth.[36][37] She was the G4tv host in a two-hour documentary on Sexpo Australia for Attack of the Show! in 2009.[38]

According to the Miami New Times, Grey has performed in around 190 adult films; she also directed Birthday Party and The Seduction (2009).[39][40][41] The Guardian counted 270 adult films.[42] Grey filmed her last adult film at age 21 in 2009.[43] Grey announced her retirement from adult films on Facebook in April 2011.[44][45][46] In 2010, in an interview with Maxim, Grey said her parents were not happy with her involvement in the adult film industry but that they were on good terms with her nonetheless.[6]

In 2011, CNBC named Grey as one of the 12 most popular stars in adult films and noted that her mainstream roles have kept interest in her earlier adult film work high, and that several companies continue to release compilations of it.[47] The November 2013 issue of Penthouse listed Sasha Grey in their variant of a Dirty Dozen[48] and Men's Health placed Grey as No. 85 in its list of "The 100 Hottest Women of All Time".[49][50] In 2018 she was still the top most searched for adult star in the Ukraine according to Pornhub Insights.[51]

Modeling

Grey was named Penthouse's Pet of the Month for July 2007 and was photographed by fashion photographer Terry Richardson.[52][53] She was profiled in the December 2008 Rolling Stone magazine and appeared twice in Playboy; in a December 2009 pictorial and as the cover feature in October 2010.[54][55][56]

Grey has modeled for various clients,[3][7] including Max Azria's line Manoukian,[57] American Apparel,[58] and Flaunt.[59] Grey modeled for Richard Kern as a part of Vice magazine's anti-fashion layout.[60] She appeared in his book and in the three-part VBS.tv program Shot by Kern.[61]

Grey appeared in Taschen's 25th anniversary reprint of Terry Richardson's book Terryworld and in his Wives, Wheels, Weapons,[62][63] a companion book to James Frey's Bright Shiny Morning.[64] She has modeled for artists James Jean,[65] Zak Smith,[66] Dave Naz,[67] David Choe,[68] and Frédéric Poincelet,[69] who also created the artwork for aTelecine's ...And Six Dark Hours Pass album. In May 2010 she interviewed artist Terence Koh for BlackBook.[70]

In 2010, Grey was one of four actors who appeared in Julião Sarmento's video installation Leporello.[8][71][72] She was featured in the Richardson magazine A4.[9][73] Richard Phillips made a short film called Sasha Grey in the Chemosphere for the Gagosian Gallery in 2011 and portrayed her for the Frieze Art Fair in 2013.[74][75][76] Hypocrite Design described Sasha Grey in the film as a "perpetually evolving figure".[77] In an interview with Allure in 2018, Grey said her look was "definitely punk-inspired, definitely the anti-aesthetic, and I've definitely grown out of that because I'm older".[78]

Acting
Promoting The Girlfriend Experience at Exxxotica Miami 2009

Sasha Grey appeared in a 2009 episode of James Gunn's PG Porn with James Gunn,[79] made a cameo appearance in Dick Rude's 2010 independent film Quit,[80] and starred in the 2009 Canadian low-budget black comedy/horror film Smash Cut with David Hess from Odessa/Zed Filmworks.[81][82]

In director Steven Soderbergh's film The Girlfriend Experience, Grey played the lead role, "Chelsea", an escort who is paid to act as her clients' girlfriend.[83][84] Soderbergh cast her after reading her profile in Los Angeles magazine.[1][85] As Grey prepared for her role in The Girlfriend Experience, Soderbergh asked her to watch Jean-Luc Godard's films Vivre sa vie and Pierrot le Fou, both of which star Anna Karina.[86] Grey and Soderbergh also interviewed two escorts, from whom they took character traits and behavior.[85][24]

Reviews of Grey's performance in The Girlfriend Experience were mixed.[87][88][89][90] Entertainment Weekly found the film "mysterious and arresting", and New York said the actors "appear to be improvising (badly)".[91] Violet Blue wrote that "Grey herself is as complex and layered and mesmerizing as a Soderbergh film itself—that's why Grey's fans cross all kinds of cultural and moral divides".[92] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a rating of 66% based on 138 reviews.[93] In 2016, Glenn Kenny who played the majordomo of an escort-review site described The Girlfriend Experience as a "digital film from another era" with most scenes two-handers.[94]

In 2009, she also played the Vulcan Chandra in the adult Star Trek parody This Ain't Star Trek XXX, which was directed by Axel Braun, with Evan Stone as Captain Kirk; Stone won an XBIZ "Female Acting Performance of the Year" award for Star Trek XXX.[95] Grey played a fictionalized version of herself in the seventh season of the HBO series Entourage. Her character was Vincent Chase's new girlfriend in a multi-episode arc.[96] The season got a 57% rating (13 fresh, 10 rotten) on Rotten Tomatoes.[93]

Grey played Raven in the thriller I Melt With You, which was directed by Mark Pellington and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2011.[97] She then starred in the Indonesian film Shrouded Corpse Bathing While Hip-Shaking, which premiered on April 28, 2011.[98] The 2012 horror-thriller Would You Rather, which was directed by David Guy Levy and where Grey played Amy, got a critics' consensus rating of 59% based on 22 reviews at Rotten Tomatoes,[93] and a critic noted the similarity of Amy's role as "unflinching in the wildest of circumstances, when vying for a hefty sum of cash at the expense of the health" with Grey's career as adult actor.[99]

She voiced the character Viola DeWynter in the 2011 video game Saints Row: The Third and reprised the role in 2015 for Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell.[100] In 2013, in the documentary series Durch die Nacht mit …, Mariya Ocher took Grey to nightlife venues in Hamburg, where Grey ignored the "women prohibited" barrier of the Herbertstraße.[101] In 2014, she starred with Elijah Wood in Open Windows, which was directed by Nacho Vigalondo.[102] Nikola Grozdanovic wrote that "all of Open Windows is constructed in a way for all of the action to unfold through some kind of computer screen".[103] The Tomatometer critics' consensus for Open Windows was 40% based on 40 reviews.[93] In 2017, Sasha Grey and Danny Trejo starred in the arthouse thriller Black Licorice, which was directed by Frankie Latina.[104] In 2009, Grey was a co-producer of Latina's Modus Operandi, which also stars Danny Trejo.[12][105]

Grey appeared in music videos for The Smashing Pumpkins' 2007 song "Superchrist",[5] and for The Roots' 2008 song "Birthday Girl".[106] In 2011, she appeared in the music video for Eminem's song "Space Bound", which premiered on Vevo.[107][108] Grey plays Eminem's girlfriend, whom he strangles before realizing she is a figment of his imagination.[109]

Music

In 2008, Grey began an industrial music collaboration called aTelecine with Pablo St. Francis.[11] They later added Anthony D' Juan and Ian Cinnamon.[10] The project's first EP, aVigillant Carpark was released in 2009.[10] The same year, Grey also contributed vocals to the Current 93 album Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain.[110]

L.A. interview in July 2012

In 2010, aTelecine released its first album, ...And Six Dark Hours Pass, and followed it up with the first of three A Cassette Tape Culture compilations.[111] Paul Maher Jr. compared Sasha Grey with Cathy Ames in John Steinbeck's novel East of Eden, described the ambient tracks of aTelecine as aural wrecking balls, stated that Grey's artistic temperament comes close to that of the Marquis de Sade as "a proponent of freedom tethered to its furthest extremities, yet untethered by laws, morality or religion", but admired her courage and audaciousness.[112] In July 2013, it was announced that Grey had left the band, leaving Ian Cinnamon and a new vocalist as the only remaining full-time members.[113]

In 2012, Grey covered Nico for the X-TG album Desertshore.[114] In 2014, Grey and Jayceeoh produced "Heat of the Night", featuring Bella.[115] In 2015 psytrance band Infected Mushroom featured Grey's vocals in their album Converting Vegetarians II in the track "Fields of Grey".[116] In 2016 Grey contributed to the Death in Vegas album Transmission.[117] The former Throbbing Gristle members Chris & Cosey remixed "Consequences of Love" — a Transmission song performed and composed by Grey and Fearless — and in 2017, Michael Mayer adapted the Chris & Cosey remix in his DJ-Kicks album.[118][119] Vice described Transmission as an "EBM-inspired romp through the darker edges of the sleazier clubs in the nightlife spectrum".[120] In a cameo appearance, DJ Harvey plays "Consequences of Love" in the rave party at the Grand Palais scene of Mission: Impossible – Fallout.[121] In 2018, Death in Vegas published the single "Honey", with Grey as writer, singer, and film director of the Drone Records video.[13] In August 2018, PIG published "That's The Way (I Like It)", featuring Grey, and premiered it on Pornhub.[122]

Since 2010, Grey has regularly performed as a DJ and published some of her mixes on SoundCloud.[123][124][125] Grey said she uses CDJs, USB-sticks, and SD cards.[126] Earmilk editor David Sikorski considered her mixes as "testament to her wide range, eclectic taste in music, and her ability to understand the mechanics of solid electronic music production".[127][128]

Books

Grey's photo book Neü Sex, was released on March 29, 2011.[129] BlackBook described it as "another right step in transforming herself into the multimedia artist she sees herself as".[130] The Portland Mercury compared Grey's "distinct style" with the photography of Cindy Sherman and Terry Richardson.[131]

Her second book, an erotic novel titled The Juliette Society, was released on May 9, 2013.[132][133] Karley Sciortino described it as a "satirical, erotic novel that follows Catherine, a film student who enters a secret, elite sex society", and in her interview Grey stated she paid homage to novels like The 120 Days of Sodom, Thérèse the Philosopher, and Voltaire's Candide.[134] Alisande Fitzsimons wrote that The Juliette Society contains references to classic erotic literature and film,[135] and Cosmopolitan UK called it "erotica with a difference".[126] In 2016, the second book of The Juliette Society trilogy, The Janus Chamber, was published and the third installment, The Mismade Girl, followed in 2018.[136] Grey described The Juliette Society as a bit autobiographical.[16] Allen Foster wrote that The Janus Chamber is "a brilliant work of literature", much more Satyricon than Fifty Shades of Grey, where Grey's "wry sense of humor reveals itself in the obscure pop culture references".[137]

The trilogy was translated into several languages, in October 2019 the German translation of The Mismade Girl was published by Heyne Hardcore as X.[138]

Personal life

Grey identifies herself as an existentialist,[21][139][140] and as bisexual.[141] She was in a long-term relationship and engagement with Ian Cinnamon, who is 13 years her senior. The couple split up in 2013.[113][23]

In a May 2016 interview, rock and pop culture critic Art Tavana compared Grey with Madonna, describing her as "defiantly feminist" and as "novelist, EDM DJ, sex-positive feminist, Formula 1 racer or action star—no matter what it is, it's more than 'ex-porn star'".[142] In 2009, Meghan O'Rourke wrote that Grey "sees her extremity as helping to liberate female sexuality" but she called Grey's persona "a clever marketing tactic".[143] Vanessa Grigoriadis stated that "what's most important about her is her impact on feminism".[23][144] In a 2011 interview with Journal Frankfurt, Grey commented that she dislikes the term "feminist", saying she would be a "post-modern feminist" if she was one.[145]

Grey is a cinéaste—leading to her 2006 alias Anna Karina after a French-Danish film actor—and likes the work of Italian film director Antonioni,[146] French New Wave filmmaker Godard,[68] Danish Dogme 95 director Lars von Trier,[43] New German Cinema filmmaker Herzog,[147] feminist filmmaker Catherine Breillat,[144] and American filmmaker David Lynch.[148] MovieLine recognized her as "Twitter's Art-House Eulogist".[149]

Sasha Grey described herself as a David Bowie fan and contributed to a French homage after he died in 2016.[150][151] Other musical influences include KMFDM,[152] Throbbing Gristle, Coil,[153] and Nine Inch Nails.[144] Grey collects vinyl records,[126] and her motto is Lotta continua.[154]

Activism

In 2010, in a nude video, Grey supported a PeTA campaign to curb the overpopulation of dogs and cats by spaying and neutering.[155] In February 2010, Sasha Grey and Joanna Angel were Sex Week at Yale panelists.[156][157] Later the same year, she published her opinions on the Mark Sanford extramarital affair in an op-ed for Newsweek 20/10.[158] In a March 2014 interview, Grey spoke in defense of the adult industry and on behalf of outed Duke University student-turned-adult-actress Belle Knox.[159]

In November 2011, Grey participated in a guest reading program at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, California. Some parents complained; Grey responded to the controversy by stating, "I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am, and what I represent".[160] Grey also appeared on the American talk show The View, where she said she thought the schoolchildren's parents should have been given prior notice of the identity of guest readers and that she would not have accepted the job if parents had objected to her.[161]

In March 2012, she published a video supporting Equal Pay Day.[162][163] In July 2013, shortly after the National Security Agency's PRISM surveillance program was first publicized, Grey starred in a Funny or Die "Sexy NSA Commercial" parody.[164] She supported Bernie Sanders during the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries[142] and Planned Parenthood.[142][78][152] In 2020, she supported Direct Relief for the Puerto Rico earthquakes on her Twitch stream.[165]
