Lisa Ann Corpora, born May 9, 1972, in Easton, Pennsylvania, is a retired American pornographic actress, director, talent agent, and radio personality. She’s considered one of the most popular and successful performers in the industry and is a member of the AVN, XRCO, and Urban X Halls of Fame.

Her career started in 1994. She left porn in 1997 after an AIDS scare in the industry and spent the next seven years performing as a stripper and running a day spa. She returned to adult film work in February 2006, and her comeback led to directing and producing as well. Her directorial debut Hung XXX came out in 2009, and she launched Lisa Ann Productions in 2013, releasing MILF Revolution, which won the 2014 AVN Award for Best MILF Release. In 2014 she also started Porn Stars Boot Camp, a consulting firm.

Ann is famous for her parodies of Sarah Palin, starring as Serra Paylin in Hustler Video’s Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? (2008) and its sequels, a role she studied to capture Palin’s mannerisms. She reprised the character in related projects and in Eminem’s We Made You video. She voiced Prostitute #2 in Grand Theft Auto V (2013) and has appeared on the Showtime series Billions. She hosted Stripper Town on Sirius XM starting in 2013 and later co-hosted Lisa Ann Does Fantasy and The Morning Men. In 2023 she launched Better Halves with Lisa Ann and Bret Raybould on Sirius XM.

In 2018 she returned to performing after signing with Evil Angel, doing a few new scenes. She’s also been active as a mentor for other performers, advocated for safety and condom use in the industry, and pushed for better testing, pensions, and health insurance for sex workers. She has written a memoir, The Life, published in 2015, and has supported charity work, including fantasy football leagues for Blessings in a Backpack.

Personal life and interests: Ann moved to Huntington Beach, California, around 1993 and has also lived in Florida and New York. She’s a sports fan, liking basketball and football, and has been linked in media to various athletes. She was briefly married to a bouncer and has spoken openly about her dating life. She also appeared on The Howard Stern Show before her adult-film career and has remained active in media and business ventures outside of porn.
