Sasha Gray is a scandalous film actress, a former member of a musical group, who received scandalous fame in the category of "adult films". Filming in very explicit scenes, the actress does not like to share the details of her personal life. Journalists and the public know very little about the man whom Sasha herself called her common-law husband.
Sasha Gray: childhood and early career
The real name of the scandalous actress is Marina Ann Hantsis. The future porn star was born in the American city of Sacramento in 1988. The spectacular brunette owes her exotic appearance to her ancestors: Greek, English, Polish and Irish blood flows in her veins. This explosive mixture also influenced the character of the future actress: explosive, bright, prone to shocking and performances.
Marina's childhood was not very joyful. The father worked as a mechanic, the mother did not receive an education and remained a housewife. The girl was only five years old when her parents parted, seven years later her mother remarried. The family moved to the south of the country, but Marina could not live with her stepfather. She did not share the details either as a child or as an adult, it is possible that domestic violence took place. Despite the problems and the frequent change of schools, the girl studied well, went in for dancing, participated in amateur performances of the theatrical circle. A few years later, Marina decisively announced that she was leaving home. However, her mother, also tired of her husband's antics, supported her daughter and returned to Sacramento with her and the other children.
Having received a school certificate, Marina entered college, while working part-time as a waitress in a small cafe. She dreamed of an acting career and knew that she needed to start in Hollywood. The girl was strenuously saving money and planning a quick move to Los Angeles.
From the porn industry to real cinema
Marina began her activity by changing her name, turning into Sasha Gray. The girl came to Los Angeles with a very bold decision: she planned to become a porn star. It is difficult to say what explained this choice; in subsequent interviews, Sasha gave rather contradictory answers to the corrosive questions of journalists.
In just a few months of active filming, the new star became truly popular. Sashchi Gray has more than 300 films for adults, several awards in this area of cinema. The actress herself believes that she owes her success not so much to her appearance as to the decision to lead the most healthy lifestyle. She does not drink, does not smoke, does not use drugs, comparing favorably with other actresses of the erotic genre.
Having gained fame and earned money, Gray decided to try herself in serious cinema. The first try was a series with the provocative title "Porn for the whole family." The debut was not very successful, but Sasha decided not to pay attention to temporary failures. In the same 2009, she played in another low-budget tape. For several years, the girl starred in several films, and the last role was very successful. Thanks to the film "Call Girl" by Stephen Sodenberg, Gray rose to fame and got rid of the dubious fame of "best porn actress." In 2011, Sasha completely moved away from the erotic genre, focusing on real cinema.
At the same time, Gray acted as a writer: on account of her autobiography and erotic novel "The Juliet Society."
In 2010-2011, Gray acted as a model, participated in a musical group, performing psychedelic death dub. The band released their first album, but in 2013 Sasha left the group. A couple of years later, she reappeared on the music scene as a guest vocalist.
Personal life
Gray does not spread too much about his personal life. She was taught to do this by working in adult cinema: this genre is built on legends, the public knows not the performer, but the image she created. In addition, work in the porn industry upset Sasha's relationship with his family: her mother still cannot understand her daughter's strange choice.
In 2008, Gray announced her engagement to actor and director Ian Cinnamon. The couple has several joint projects. Including one of the first films with Sasha's participation. The bride and groom often appeared at joint events and looked quite happy. However, a happy story did not work: after 5 years, Gray filed a lawsuit against Ian, accusing him of physical and psychological abuse. One of the charges was coercion to shoot in pornographic films. Despite active protests from Cinnamon, he was found guilty. True, the verdict announced by the judge turned out to be rather mild: the ex-boyfriend is prohibited from communicating with Gray, and approaching more than 200 meters may end up in prison for Ian.
