About Lezley Zen

Lezley Zen (born February 19, 1974) is an American porn star hailing from Charleston, South Carolina.

Before embarking on a career in the porn industry, Zen already had a career as a bartender and waitress. She was FOH manager at an Italian Trattoria in South Carolina. After divorcing her first husband she began competing in bikini and wet t-shirt contests. She eventually met her future fiancé, Ron (then a personal trainer), and began working with him.

Through contacts made in the various contests she entered, she set up a meeting with Brad Armstrong and Jonathan Morgan of Wicked Pictures.

Her first adult film was Wicked's Serenity's Roman Orgy in 2001. She has stated in interviews that she originally became a porn star to both pay off debts she had accumulated from her divorce and to "spite" her fiancé, who began appearing in pornographic movies at the same time she did. The two also appeared in scenes together in several movies.

Zen was represented by herself and appeared in various softcore movies for Playboy TV, HBO, Cinemax and Showtime. She was nominated in 2002 for AVN's Best New Starlet Award, and eventually won AVN's Best Supporting Actress – Film Award in 2005. She has also been nominated for 4 XRCO Awards, including Unsung Siren and Best Single Performance – Actress.

In March 2006 she retired from the adult industry. However, she recently made a comeback with her first returning scene for MILFs Like It Big.
