She started in the porn industry at age 18 and initially performed only with her then-husband (who went by the pseudonym of Red Bone) and other female stars. Her stage name is of Indian origin and means "of the spirit". In 1997, she divorced Red Bone and started working with other male performers. By 2000, she had remarried to fellow porn star Tod Alexander, but they divorced by 2003.
In 2000, she took a break from the adult film business to try the mainstream film industry. She dyed her hair red and wore brown contacts to minimize the chance of someone recognizing her. She appeared in a speaking role on NYPD Blue and was in Path to War as LBJ’s eldest daughter. She returned to the porn industry in 2003 after John Frankenheimer's death, as most of her connections had gone.
In 2004, she filed a petition with Congressman Brad Sherman requesting that the age requirement for adult performers be raised from 18 to 21, saying that "People right out of high school in this country don't seem to have the foresight to make such life-altering decisions." In 2006 she was nominated at the XRCO awards for "MILF of the year".
RayVeness took a second break from the adult industry — from June ’06 to Aug. ’07 — to have a child via in vitro fertilization.
In July 2009 she became the first contract star for the all-girl studio Girlfriends Films, although the contract allowed her to continue boy-girl work elsewhere; she has since left Girlfriend Films.
In February 2011, she announced via twitter that she had retired from the adult industry.
Yeah, I agree the Rayveness is hot here. She had that southern charm demeanor in which she could maximize her assets with a nice hairdo and make up. But bear this in mind. When this video was shot (2006), she was 34. She looks much older than 34 here and in truth is passing for a woman 10-12 years older.
Though she made a big deal about leaving the industry earlier this year for moral and social reasons, the truth is that she looked (I saw her in December of 2010) like a worn out alcoholic hooker. The last movies in which she is listed edited her out and Girlfriends Films did not renew her contract.
I can't think of another adult film actress (with the possible exception of Vicki Paris) who aged so poorly. But it happens and these women really need to be prepared for their next phase of life.
