Kelly Madison

Adult film star and director Kelly Madison was born in 1967 in Newport Beach, California and, as a true Southern California girl, she pretty much grew up on the beach. Her father was an actor and stunt man while her mother was an accountant, and her cousin Janine Lindemulder is a famous adult star in her own right. Kelly did well in school and was contemplating a career in medicine but had to drop out to take care of her father, then later her mother. After meeting her now-husband, Ryan Madison, at work and beginning a passionate affair, Kelly eventually decided it was time for a career change. Inspired by their constant horniness, the couple decided to start a business in the porn industry. At first Kelly planned to be the talent coordinator rather than the talent, but after they'd built a studio, Ryan suggested that Kelly become their first model. Kelly Madison Productions became a successful studio, releasing hundreds of titles starring Kelly and many of the industry's hottest women. AVN inducted Kelly into its hall of fame in 2015.
