About Stormy Daniels

Stormy Daniels was born Stephanie Gregory Clifford on March 17, 1979, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She grew up in a modest household, raised primarily by her mother after her parents divorced when she was four. She attended Scotlandville Magnet High School, graduating in 1997 as an honor student, where she edited the school newspaper and led the 4-H club, initially aiming for a career in veterinary medicine or journalism. Her ethnicity is Caucasian, with a mix of Irish and Cherokee ancestry, and she identifies as American.

She is professionally known as Stormy Daniels, a name inspired by Jack Daniel’s whiskey and Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx’s daughter, Storm. Early in her career, she also used aliases like Stormy and Stormy Waters. Her entry into adult content began at 17, when she started stripping at a Baton Rouge club while still in high school to support herself. A self-described "rock groupie" she often attended concerts and tried to get members of various bands to notice her for hookups. After guest dancing at the Gold Club in 1999, she transitioned into adult films in 2000 at age 21, debuting with Sin City in American Girls Part 2 after a chance encounter with industry contacts.

Stormy has worked with notable studios and websites, including Wicked Pictures (her contract home from 2002-2018), Digital Playground, Brazzers, Adam & Eve, Naughty America, and Reality Kings. Her filmography includes over 200 acting credits and more than 100 directorial projects, with key titles like Operation Desert Stormy, Space Nuts, Camp Cuddly Pines Powertool Massacre, and Wanted. She is best known for her lesbian scenes, comedic adult parodies, and later MILF roles, with standout performances in The Sex Files: A Dark XXX Parody and Fallen.

Her collaborators include Evan Stone (her ex-husband from 2007-2009), Randy Spears, Jessica Drake, Kaylani Lei, Manuel Ferrara, and Asa Akira. She has received numerous accolades, such as AVN’s Best New Starlet (2004), XBIZ’s Crossover Star of the Year (2019), and multiple directing awards, winning over 20 honors, including the NightMoves Award for Best Actress (2006) and AVN Award for Best Supporting Actress (2006). She is active on OnlyFans, offering exclusive content to subscribers.

Stormy stands at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) with a curvy figure, measuring approximately 36DD-26-36 inches. Her breast size is a DD cup, enhanced through surgery early in her career from a natural B cup. She has several tattoos: a tribal design on her lower back, a fairy on her upper back, flowers on her left wrist, and “Caitlin” (her daughter’s name) on her right forearm. She also has a navel piercing. Stormy has confirmed her breast augmentation but has not publicly detailed surgeries on her lips, buttocks, nose, or elsewhere.

Men often cite her voluptuous figure—particularly her enhanced breasts, hourglass shape, and long blonde hair—as appealing features. Her confident demeanor, sultry voice, and playful energy are frequently described as sexy, with her blend of Southern charm and boldness adding to her allure. Fans praise her toned legs, full chest, and expressive blue eyes, noting her versatility as a performer and director as a unique trait. She is most recognized for sexual acts like lesbian scenes, oral performances, and light fetish play, often showcasing her comedic timing and charisma.

Stormy identifies as bisexual, reflected in her work and personal relationships, including marriages to men and past relationships with women. She became widely known beyond adult entertainment due to a 2018 controversy involving an alleged 2006 affair with Donald Trump and subsequent hush-money payments, which she detailed in her memoir Full Disclosure. The legal and media fallout, including lawsuits and public statements, elevated her profile significantly. As of early 2025, Stormy has stepped back from active adult film performing—her last major shoot was pre-2018—but remains engaged through OnlyFans and mainstream media. Living in Texas with her daughter, she focuses on writing, directing (including a 2023 horror project), and occasional TV appearances, while maintaining a social media presence on Twitter and Instagram.
