About Chloe Jones

Chloe Jones, born Melinda Dee Jones on June 17, 1975, in Silsbee, Texas, grew up in a middle-class family as the youngest of three daughters to Donna Jones and her late husband, who died in a car crash in 1982. Of Caucasian descent, she graduated from Silsbee High School in 1994 and moved to California with $400 to pursue acting. Initially working in mainstream projects, she appeared as an extra in Baywatch, comedy shows, and films with Anna Nicole Smith and a Marilyn Monroe project. She transitioned to nude modeling, becoming Penthouse Pet of the Month in April 1998 and appearing in Hustler, Vanity Fair, and Swank.

Jones didn't have an interest in adult movies and was more interested in being the next Pamela Anderson, but New Sensations offered her a massive deal in 2001. She agreed to star in 4 movies over the next two years. New Sensations billed her as "the next Jenna Jameson". After her contract ended, she signed with Vivid Entertainment in February 2003, though her Vivid contract lasted only five months due to reported issues with prescription drug use. She performed in around 18 films, per various sources, including Loveless (2003), In Defense (2003), Coming from Behind (2004), and Virtual Sex with Chloe Jones (2001), with her Penthouse pictorials and Loveless scenes noted for their sensuality.

Jones collaborated with performers like Sunrise Adams and Evan Stone but had a limited filmography due to her brief career. She did film one movie with Jenna Jameson in 2003's Where the Boys Aren't 16, but the two did not have any contact. Physically, she stood at 5’5”, weighed approximately 110 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a 34D-24-34 figure, enhanced by breast augmentation, with no tattoos or piercings documented. Porn legend and director Randy West later said, "I thought she was hotter than Jenna. She looked like a movie star. Like Marylin Monroe came back to do porn. But then you saw all her demons and you knew why she didn't have the career she should have." Her legacy is overshadowed by her tragic death but recognized for her brief prominence as a Penthouse star.

Controversies included a 2005 National Enquirer story where Jones claimed Charlie Sheen paid her $15,000 for oral sex, disputed by Sheen’s agent, who said he hadn’t seen her since 1996 when they had a brief fling when she was a minor actress. Her mother, Donna Jones, considered a wrongful death suit against Sheen after alleged death threats, though she later sued The Globe for fabricating her statements. Jones suffered from alcoholism, drug abuse (notably Vicodin), and health issues like appendicitis and epilepsy (disputed by her sisters), leading to liver failure. She died on June 4, 2005, in Houston, Texas, at age 29, from liver failure caused by alcohol and prescription drug abuse, leaving behind a daughter (born 1996), twin sons (born 1997), her mother, and sisters Michelle and Melanie.

Jones’ net worth was estimated at $100,000–$500,000, per CelebsAgeWiki, from modeling, films, and escort work. She was married to Michael Scorpio from 1996 until her death and previously to Jason David Sturrock, with no further romantic relationships confirmed beyond her last boyfriend, Chris Miguez. After retiring in 2004, she began doing escort work and was widely known among the hobbist scene. She appeared twice on The Howard Stern Show in 2003. As of July 9, 2025, her films and pictorials remain part of vintage adult collections, with fan-run X accounts honoring her as a “beautiful but tragic figure” whose brief career left a mark despite personal struggles.
