Lisa Ann Corpora, known professionally as Lisa Ann, is a prominent figure in the adult entertainment industry and a recognized sports radio personality. Born on May 9, 1972, in Easton, Pennsylvania, she rose to fame not only for her performances but also for her ability to navigate and parodize cultural and political figures, most notably through her portrayal of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in six adult films in 2008. Her career has been characterized by significant achievements and a unique blend of entertainment and media engagement.
Ann's journey into the adult film industry began after she transitioned from a brief career in modeling and television, where she gained early recognition as a "Snapple Girl" on The Howard Stern Show. Initially, she entered the adult film scene in the early 1990s but took a hiatus in 1997 due to an AIDS scare that affected the industry. She made a triumphant return in 2006, revitalizing her career and subsequently achieving mainstream notoriety with her role as "Serra Paylin" in Who's Nailin' Paylin?, released on Election Day, coinciding with the 2008 presidential campaign.
In addition to her on-screen work, Lisa Ann has made a significant impact behind the camera as a director and talent agent. Her directorial project, MILF Revolution, released in 2013, won the 2014 AVN Award for "Best MILF Release," further solidifying her reputation as a leader in the industry. Ann's influence extended beyond adult films, as she appeared in the music video for Eminem's song "We Made You" and lent her voice to a character in the video game Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013.
Throughout her career, Lisa Ann has been inducted into several prestigious halls of fame, including the AVN, XRCO, and Urban X Halls of Fame, a testament to her status as one of the most popular and successful pornographic actresses in the world. After announcing her retirement from performing in adult films in 2014, she launched Porn Stars Boot Camp, a consulting firm aimed at helping fellow performers navigate the complexities of the industry. However, in 2018, she made headlines again by returning to adult entertainment, signing with Evil Angel.
In her current endeavors, Ann has embraced new platforms, including hosting a show titled Stripper Town on Sirius XM in 2013 and more recently collaborating with Bret Raybould on Better Halves with Lisa Ann and Bret Raybould, a weekly show that explores themes of dating, sex, and relationships in a comedic format.
