Asia Carrera born Jessica Andrea Steinhauser on August 6, 1973 in New York City is a former adult film star. She was born in New Jersey to a German mother and Japanese father. She won an academic scholarship to Rutgers University and she is a member of Mensa. Asia worked during the early 90's as a dancer at several go-go bars in her home state of New Jersey. After doing at least one photoshoot for an adult magazine back East, she put together a demo porn tape in 1993. At the end of that year she relocated to California to break into the pornography business and she announced her retirement at the end of 2003. She is sometimes credited as Asia or Jessica Bennett. Carrera has also been involved in writing, producing, and directing movies, as well as doing all her own make-up and hair-styling, and doing much of the hair and make-up for other actresses in the same movies. She also had her first breast enlargement, going from a medium B to at least a full C cup. She has had at least one subsequent breast surgery and is now a D cup or larger. Asia has performed only a few anal sex scenes, again waiting for her contract with Vivid to expire to do her first scene in the movie "A Is For Asia". While anal sex pays better, Asia stated that, while she found it enjoyable, it wasn't something she did in her personal life a great deal and had no interest in becoming an "anal queen" in the industry.
