This week’s featured performer in this series comes to us by way of Munich, Germany where she was born, then Great Britain and finally Los Angeles, At almost 6 foot tall she is blessed with fantastic long legs along with overall beauty. Her name is Briana Banks.
Briana was born on May 21, 1978 to an American mother and German father in Munich, Bavaria Germany. The family moved to Great Britain and later to the Los Angeles area when she was seven. Briana grew up and did all her schooling in the L.A. area.
When Banks moved out of her mother’s home at age 16, she took along her 14-year-old sister. This was a turning point in her life, Briana found herself in need of a job to support herself and her sister, whom she got custody when Briana was 18 years old.
She held a variety of jobs as a secretary, file clerk, an arts and crafts store and she even worked in a pizza shop. With her blonde hair, blue eyes and being (5’ 11”) Briana’s good looks brought her opportunities to do modeling as a teen. In turn that led to a cover on Teen magazine. She became a U.S. citizen when she was 18.
When she was 21, Briana responded to a modeling ad in the newspaper. She began her doing nude modeling for a number of adult magazines. From there she entered adult films, her first being “University Coeds 18” using the name ‘Mirage’ but began using the moniker Briana Banks on the advice of a fellow star in 2000
In April 2001 she signed a contract to become a Vivid Girl and would appear in nine films for the company that year. Briana also appeared in Penthouse magazine as Pet of the Month in June 2001. Her career in adult was on its way with award nominations and wins for Best New Starlet and other nominations.
Briana took a couple of breaks from the business, always to return and be better than before, if that’s possible because her skills were always considered among the best. During her time in the porn spotlight she was a contributing author to the 2004 book “How To Have a XXX Sex Life: The Ultimate Vivid Guide.”
After a five-year hiatus from performing, Briana returned to filming in 2016 with her first release “Lesbian Office Affairs”. There is much more to the Briana Banks story, but the best part is that she is now back in front of the cameras looking sexier than ever and performing at a very high and erotic standard.
Check out her very latest film “Prime MILF Vol. 3” for Hard X, or any of her more than 300 films and you will see why her return is so welcome. She is also a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, and I am very happy to have the blonde beauty, Briana Banks as my “Girl of the Week” here on AAN.
