About
Allie Haze (born May 10, 1987, in Redlands, California) is an American adult-film performer and model who became one of the defining faces of 2010-era erotic entertainment. She entered the industry in 2009 and, within two years, captured the AVN Best Actress award (2011) and later the XBIZ Best Actress honor (2013), recognition that spotlighted both her acting range and warm on-screen presence. Viewers outside the adult sphere discovered her through two crossover roles: a tongue-in-cheek Princess-Leia riff in Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody and the title part in the soft-erotic revival Emmanuelle Through Time (2011-13). After signing an exclusive deal with Vivid Entertainment in 2011, Haze’s profile rose further, landing her convention invitations, magazine covers, and a reputation as an approachable fan-favorite.
Before Fame
Raised amid the citrus groves of San Bernardino County, Haze—born Brittany Joy Sturtevant—split her teenage years between soccer practice, horseback-riding lessons, and small-town beauty pageants. She recalls being “a tomboy who never minded a tiara,” a balance that hinted at the playful duality her later screen work would showcase. Animals were her first passion: she completed veterinary-technician coursework and interned at a local clinic before entertainment ever crossed her mind. A taste for adrenaline then led her to enroll briefly in a firefighter training program, but the lure of modeling jobs (which helped pay for college fees and dog-rescue bills) drew her toward the camera. Dancing at a Redlands club at 22 gave her the confidence—and industry contacts—that ultimately opened the door to adult film.
Trivia
- Penthouse spotlight. The magazine named her Pet of the Month in January 2014, featuring a retro pin-up pictorial that remains one of its most-downloaded digital issues.
- Mainstream nod. VH1 placed her in its fan-voted “100 Sexiest Stars” list in 2012, a crossover moment she still calls “surreal and sweet.”
- Global Emmanuelle. European producers hand-picked her to reboot the French erotic franchise, filming installments on three continents and dubbing her performance into six languages.
- Music-video cameo. Look for her quick grin in the backstage party sequence of B.o.B’s 2013 single “John Doe,” her first appearance on MTV.
- Convention regular. Thanks to her Leia parody, she is a perennial guest at sci-fi and comic-book conventions, happily posing with stormtrooper cosplayers for hours.
- Ocean advocate. A certified scuba diver, she documents reef clean-ups on social media and once auctioned her fins to raise money for marine-conservation efforts (self-reported).
Family Life
Behind the stage lights is a woman who speaks candidly about love and loss. At 18 she married a youth preacher; the two amicably parted ways after two years upon realizing their lives were headed in different directions. Later she became engaged to a man whose surname—Hayes—inspired her professional last name; dropping the “y” yielded “Haze.” Although that engagement ended before the wedding, the moniker stuck and has since become her brand. She keeps her immediate family out of the spotlight, sharing only the occasional throwback photo with her parents or siblings, but often credits their support for grounding her hectic travel schedule. Away from set she lives a comparatively quiet life in Las Vegas with two rescue dogs and a rotating cast of foster kittens.

Inside the industry, Haze’s résumé features collaborations with directing heavyweights Axel Braun (Star Wars XXX), B. Skow (Love, Marriage & Other Bad Ideas), and Jacky St. James (Torn). She has shared scenes with AVN Hall-of-Famers such as Mick Blue and worked alongside performers like Dani Daniels and Ramon Nomar, all of whom praise her easy-going, improvisational style. Beyond adult entertainment, she broadened her circle by appearing in B.o.B’s “John Doe” video and chatting pop culture on podcasts next to comic writer Chris Claremont—experiences she says remind her “there’s more than one kind of fandom.” She also cites 1970s French icon Sylvia Kristel, the original Emmanuelle, as a creative north star, having studied Kristel’s films to create a respectful yet modern interpretation of the role.
