Asia Carrera

Asia Carrera fascinates me precisely because no single label holds her. Born Jessica Steinhauser, a Rutgers-educated pianist who became an AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame adult star, and who later trained and worked as an attorney, she has rewritten her own story more than once. What strikes me is the intelligence and self-possession threaded through all of it. It would be lazy to reduce her to one chapter of a remarkable life. I respect people who navigate wildly different worlds on their own terms, and Carrera's wit, candor and reinvention make her one of the more genuinely interesting figures I've come across.
