About Jill Kelly
Considered one of the most beautiful women to ever do porn, the California native started out as a stripper at the Babydolls adult entertainment theater in her hometown of Pomona, first performing at the age of 15 with false identification. After she broke up with her then-boyfriend, he informed the club of her true age, which caused them to fire her. When Kelly turned 18 she returned to the club, commenting that "they didn't even recognize me".
She entered adult films with her first husband Cal Jammer in 1993. She would only have sex with him and other women until his suicide in 1995.
Kelly also had an off-screen relationship with her fellow female colleague PJ Sparxx in the mid-'90s. The pair would tour together and dance on stage as part of a dance duo act called "Fire & Ice". They also released a porn feature film of the dance act called Fire & Ice: Caught In The Act. Kelly and Sparxx elucidated on their relationship in the "Behind the Scenes" documentary series Sex Under Hot Lights. Sparxx posited that she and Kelly had similar sexual personalities. Kelly stated that Sparxx had supported her following her husband's suicide in January 1995. Sparxx and Kelly claimed to be exclusively involved in terms of women, but were in an open relationship in regards to other men, with Kelly claiming she was also involved with a boyfriend at the time. Kelly would later say the relationship was more of a "stripper marriage" and pushed for their act and not really serious since they were also seeing other men the entire time.
In 2000, Kelly would marry fellow porn actor Julian and would only perform with him until their divorce in 2001.
While Jill Kelly is best known for her work in adult movies, she has also made appearances in mainstream Hollywood productions, including Spike Lee's He Got Game.
