Olivia Austin has said she was always a "private sex freak", and says after losing her virginity, she literally slept with the entire football team. She believes that is the reason she took to porn so easily. Before doing her first shoot, she had been bouncing between Las Vegas and Scottsdale working as a cocktail waitress. She'd already had work done on her breasts; after training for a fitness competition, her natural breast look changed, so she got them enhanced to recapture their original shape. She contacted an agency about becoming an adult star, hoping it would give her a chance to pursue her personal sexual fantasies. Her first film was with Peter North Presents studios, The Big Jerk.
After several months in the industry, Olivia wrote a tell-all blog post about her experiences in porn, good and bad, as a warning to future performers following the same path. She beseeches anyone joining porn to be very careful choosing agencies, don't be naive, and to be in charge of as much as your own career as possible. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her English bulldog, Presley.
