Early life

Childhood and family background

Jenna Haze was born Jennifer Maria Corrales on February 22, 1982, in . Of heritage, with Spanish, German, and Irish ancestry, she was the youngest of four children raised primarily by her single mother following her parents' when she was young. Haze spent much of her childhood in , with additional time in , and , amid her family's relocations. Coming from a working-class background marked by financial difficulties, her mother, who had experienced multiple divorces and raised the children alone starting at age 16, struggled to provide stability. These challenges fostered Haze's early independence; described as a "" in her younger years, she became increasingly rebellious and dropped out of high school at age 15, although she later completed her education through , to contribute financially, taking jobs at places like and eventually stripping to support the household. During her teenage years, Haze developed interests in performing and modeling, which later influenced her career path.

At age 18, Jenna Haze briefly tried working as a for one day at a club in Anaheim, , but found the experience unappealing due to the environment and interactions required, leading her to quit immediately. A year later, in 2001, while at another local club, she was introduced to the adult film industry by a friend with connections, who connected her with director Craven Moorehead; motivated by amid a challenging family background of and a need for self-sufficiency, as well as her longstanding curiosity and enjoyment of , Haze decided to pursue opportunities in adult entertainment. Her early scenes that year, at age 19, included appearances in Service Animals 4, directed by for Evil Angel, featuring performer —originally planned as a more limited encounter, the scene expanded into full intercourse—and The Oral Adventures of Craven Moorehead 8, also for Evil Angel, featuring Craven Moorehead and Dez, which was intended as an oral-only performance but similarly evolved, showcasing her adaptability and enthusiasm during these initial shoots. By late 2001, Haze had completed around 26 scenes, navigating early challenges such as nervousness on set, adjusting to industry pace, and balancing personal relationships, yet she quickly established a versatile on-screen persona known for energetic performances in oral, vaginal, and eventually anal scenes, collaborating with directors like Silvera and Moorehead to build momentum. In early 2002, after impressing in an anal scene for Jill Kelly Productions (JKP), she signed an exclusive contract with the company, transitioning from freelance novice to a structured performer role and solidifying her rising status within the industry.

Career

Performing career

Jenna Haze began her performing career in the adult film industry in 2001, initially appearing in scenes for various studios before signing an exclusive contract with Jill Kelly Productions in 2002. Under this agreement, which lasted until 2005, she primarily performed in girl-on-girl scenes, establishing her reputation for sensual and intimate performances. Following the end of her contract, Haze transitioned to independent performing from 2005 to 2012, appearing in over 700 films across major studios such as Evil Angel and . This phase marked her expansion into heterosexual and gonzo-style content, including collaborations in series like Jenna Haze Dark Side and Evil Anal. Her work during this period emphasized high-energy scenes that showcased her versatility and appeal. Haze became particularly noted for her signature styles, including intense anal scenes, passionate girl-on-girl encounters, and a gradual shift toward more narrative-driven feature roles in the mid-2000s, which contributed to her peak popularity during that era. These elements highlighted her ability to blend raw intensity with charismatic on-screen presence, making her a standout performer in both gonzo and plot-based productions. After 11 years in the industry, Haze retired from performing in 2012, citing a lack of full commitment to on-camera work and a desire to pursue new creative directions, including directing. This decision followed her final scene in April 2011 and her induction into the AVN Hall of Fame earlier that year.

Production and directing

In , Jenna Haze founded Jennaration X Studios as a means to exert greater control over her content creation and within the adult film industry, with distribution handled by Video. The studio served as a platform for her to produce and direct films featuring herself and other performers, allowing her to explore creative visions beyond on-screen roles. This venture built on her established reputation as a performer, providing the expertise and audience foundation necessary for successful production endeavors. Haze made her directorial debut the same year with Cum Spoiled Sluts, a gonzo-style feature that starred herself alongside performers such as Nikki Rhodes, Riley Evans, and Alyssa Hall, marking the inaugural release from Jennaration X. Over the following years, she directed additional titles under the studio, including the all-girl series Meow! (2010–2012) and Just Jenna (2010), which emphasized sensual, performer-driven narratives often centered on female perspectives and interactions. By 2010, Haze had already helmed eight projects for Jennaration X, demonstrating a focus on high-production-value content that highlighted empowerment and authentic female experiences in adult entertainment. In total, she directed and produced approximately 13–14 adult films through her career, with representative works like Cum-Spoiled Brats (2010) showcasing her ability to blend explicit themes with narrative elements. Following her 2012 retirement from on-camera performing, Haze stated she might continue directing, but her final projects were completed around 2012, after which her focus shifted away from new productions. By the mid-2010s, Haze had ceased adult industry involvement to pursue a degree in psychology and work in social services, including support for unhoused and marginalized populations as of 2025. Jennaration X Studios extended beyond filmmaking to encompass merchandising, official websites, and fan engagement initiatives, fostering direct connections with audiences through branded content and exclusive offerings until the company's gradual wind-down in the mid-2010s.
