Introduction

Dani Daniels (born September 23, 1989) is the stage name of an American pornographic actress and stripper.

Early life

Dani Daniels was born Kira Lee Orsag in Orange County, California, on September 23, 1989. She is of Czech, English, and German descent. She attended an art school for about two years but dropped out.

Career

Daniels began stripping before her porn career to pay off her art school debt. Her stage name was derived from the first name of an ex-boyfriend as an act of revenge against him. She entered the adult film industry in January 2011 and joined the agency OC Modelling. Her first scene was for Reality Kings. She was initially a lesbian-only performer but later started performing with men. Her first four sex scenes with men were in the film Dani Daniels: Dare for Elegant Angel. Elegant Angel also produced an all-girl film titled Dani, which features Daniels in every scene. Dani won the 2013 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Release.

Daniels has directed for Filly Films, Penthouse Studios, Brazzers, and Reality Kings.

Daniels was the Twistys Treat of the Month for July 2011, the Penthouse Pet of the Month for January 2012, and Elegant Angel's Girl of the Month for March 2014. That same month, Brazzers cast her in the lead role of a five-part series titled The Whore of Wall Street, an adult parody of The Wolf of Wall Street.

In 2013, Dani received eight nominations for AVN Awards, and won, "Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene" with Sinn Sage.

Daniels started out webcam modeling for Streamate. She is now on Camsoda.com.

Daniels performed for the 2014 film Dani Daniels Deeper, which won the AVN Award for Best Interracial Release and the XBIZ Award for Interracial Release of the Year in 2015. In 2015, she collaborated with sex toy company Doc Johnson to create a line of sex toys, which won the 2016 AVN Fan Award for Most Amazing Sex Toy.

Daniels was placed on CNBC's list of "The Dirty Dozen: Porn's Most Popular Stars" in 2014 and 2015.

Political views

In the 2016 presidential election primaries, Daniels expressed support for Bernie Sanders and her aversion to Donald Trump.
