Early Life and Career
Melinda Dee Jones was born and grew up in Silsbee, Texas. After graduating from Silsbee High School in 1994, she became a Playboy model and pornographic actress. Jones was the Penthouse magazine Pet of the Month in April 1998, and she crossed over into adult movies in 2001. She then retired from the adult industry in 2004. Jones performed in 18 films during this time. Jones had gained considerable fame as a nude model and was a well-known figure in the adult world at the time of her retirement. Jones was bisexual.
After deciding to enter the hardcore porn industry, she signed an exclusive contract with adult film company New Sensations, followed by another contract with Vivid Entertainment in February 2003. Both associations were brief (her contract with Vivid lasted five months), and rumors circulated about Jones' "difficult nature." She was allegedly released by Vivid for her use of prescription drugs, although specific details are elusive.
