Biography
Her parents divorced when she was one year old, and she had a number of operations between the ages of three and fourteen to correct bowed legs; the results left her with one straight leg and one that points to the left. Powers has to wear a knee brace.[2]
Powers was discovered at a Goth nightclub by a man who was working as a make-up artist for a gothic vampire adult movie.[2] She made her first porn film in 1999.[3] By her own count, she appeared in 65 to 70 original films, with compilations bringing that up to over 110.[4] She left the business as she wished to do condom-only scenes yet many of the male performers would remove the condoms.[4] Disillusioned with the exploitation of the porn film industry, she then set up her own video on demand website.[1]
