Jasmin St. Claire has gone from pornstar to wrestler to one-woman show.
Jasmin St. Claire was one the most controversial porn actors of the 1990s. After earning a reputation in shock culture, she was able to find two other public careers.
How did she get so famous in an age before the internet and porn? Before she became an icon, her career was a well-trodden one.
Her life was changed by:
Modelling in New York
Acting in adult films in LA
Wrestling in ECW Federation
Acting in a variety of movies
She's also launching a podcast and running a show as a solo woman.
How Jasmin S Clair got into the porn industry
Jasmin began her adult life in New York City. She told Holly Randall about it in a recent episode on her Unfiltered podcast.
She worked at a bar with feature dancers. She explained that there were three avenues she could take to make money in adult entertainment.
FFF breast implants are "nutty" and you will be a "freakshow"
Do stills modelling
Porn!
Evidently, she decided to make porn.
She says, "I was the largest freak show in the 90s," without any hint of regret. "I didn't see myself as an adult film star. I was part of the 90s shock-culture era."
This era also saw the rise of Jerry Springer and Howard Stern.
She was inspired to porn by a Jerry Springer interview. She was cast as a stripper on the scripted show. Her Jasmin St. Claire character, which was mouthy and controversial, was created.
Jasmin is proud that her entry to the porn world was voluntary. It's an important distinction that Jasmin is keen to make, as so many people were at the time getting into porn due to a boyfriend pushing them.
The transition to adult movies
Jasmin was part of the shocking culture that she was involved in and took on her most famous challenge. Jasmin was the star of World's Biggest Gang Bang 2, a sequel to the porn movie that originally starred Annabel Chhong.
According to publicity about the gang bang, she was a sex acter with more than 300 men. The gang bang has two stories. One says it was the "biggest con ever done in the porn industry."
In an interview she gave for a book, she said that only 30 men were on the set. These performers were strategically placed and filmed, and she had sex only with about ten of them.
Jasmin St. Claire does not go into too much detail during the podcast with Holly. Although she does mention that the shooting took about ten hours, and there were many guys around, it was "like an insane asylum!"
Holly and Holly didn't go into details about the number, nor the logistics. We're not sure which account you believe.
Jasmin St Clair's career in adult movies
It is not clear how many films she acted in. Some sources place it at 73, while others claim it is less than 50.
She was a star in many films, but she made a name for her self. Jasmin St Claire's VHS tapes, and DVDs, were the most popular pornos before the internet made it possible to access porn 24/7.
Despite being brunette, she is not the typical 90s pornstar. Although the industry favors brunettes over blondes, it was a first for the industry to have the best-selling and most well-known stars not be blonde.
The transition from porn star into pro wrestler
Jasmin talks about her transition to a mainstream career, and how it was fluid. Jasmin had a contract with a producer, but she gradually stopped shooting and began to spend more time with the pro wrestlers she had met.
These wrestlers were part of Extreme Championship Wrestling's (ECW) federation. This was the third federation that was behind the WWF and WCW names if you didn't like wrestling in the 90s.
This is not the best career path, so Jasmin had classes to improve her wrestling skills and was able to fight professionally.
Her name is still well-known in the industry, and she continues to get calls asking if she can sign at wrestling conventions.
Jasmin St. Claire, movie star
Jasmin began acting in mainstream movies around the same time she was wrestling. To improve her acting skills, Jasmin attended acting classes in New York City and Los Angeles.
In 2005, her first movie credits were added to her resume with the straight-to video Swap Zombies! Dorm Daze 2 in 2006, and Dorm Daze 3. Her acting career was cut short and she became a veejay, among other things, on The Metal Scene TV Show.
Jasmin, a woman with many talents, was also a music journalist who was published by Yahoo!
Acting is back on her resume, with roles in movies and as recurring characters on TV shows such:
Mysteries of the Unexplained
Corrupt Crimes
The Future Rich Wives Club
Jasmin St. Claire's future
Jasmin had a one-woman show in the future that she launched in 2020, but was stopped by the pandemic. The future plans for A Weird Kind Of Fame are to return to the road.
Holly is told that a podcast is also in development. Crazy Train will be a podcast that covers human interest stories and stories from the 90s, she says. People who were famous at the time will be guests.
She has made a solid career with porn and shocking culture as her springboard to a successful life in media.
