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]

Adult film career

In 1994, she began appearing in adult films, starting with New Wave Hookers 4.[3] From 1996 to 2006 she was co-host of the Playboy Channel's live phone-in program Night Calls. She is credited with 127 appearances as an actress and has been a director four times.[1]

Ashton is the owner and operator of the adult website Juliland.com, a website that features the erotic imagery of photographer/director Richard Avery.[4]

In addition to her work in the adult film industry, Juli has credits in two computer games from 1996.[5]
