Phoenix Marie (born September 21, 1981, in Riverside, California, U.S.) is an American porn star and Penthouse Pet who was born and raised in Southern California and now resides in Los Angeles, California. Her career began back in 2006 when she was out with some friends and was approached by the bouncer of a nightclub in the Los Angeles area. He happened to be familiar with a local talent agent in the business.
In high school, she was brainy and shy with no social graces to speak of. Back home, she re-builds classic cars, owns two Harley Davison motorcycles, a dirt bike, and is very big on outdoor and extreme sports. She had plenty of sexual ideas when she was younger but didn't date. Phoenix Marie says that entering the adult industry has made her a far more confident person and helped her develop parts of her personality that were stunted during adolescence. For example, how to socialize, how to be at a party, how to interact with members of the opposite sex, how to be a social being, and how to be empathetic and caring.
