Juli Ashton (born October 5, 1969) is an American former pornographic actress.[1]

Pre-film life

Juli was born in Colorado Springs, CO. After high school, she attended Colorado State University earning a degree in Spanish and History. During college she worked as a waitress at a topless club. Upon graduation she worked as a Junior High Teacher, teaching Spanish. Her teaching career only lasted one year. She moved to Florida and started waiting tables in a strip club. After learning she could make more money as a dancer, she started doing that. While dancing she learned from her fellow dancers about the adult film industry, and after a year and a half she started her adult film career, appearing in a scene in the film The Dinner Party[2]
