Gina Carrera

Porn Star Bio, Gina Carrera

Despite being born in Texas, Gina Carrera grew up all over the country, moving frequently throughout her childhood. She entered the adult entertainment business as a nude model, doing shoots for all the most popular men's magazines of the 80s; but it wasn't until her agent at World Modeling told her that she was "shot out"-an industry term meaning her face was too familiar and nobody was interested in her nude pics anymore-that she got into filming XXX movies.

A Star is Born

It was Jim South who approached Carrera with the idea for her to appear in a loop, to which she agreed to do a single appearance; however, she enjoyed it so much she continued to perform in adult movies. According to Gina, she considered herself a "straight laced adult actress," refusing to do anal, but frequently performing in girl/girl scenes. Throughout her filming career, she was credited with close to 200 titles.

Quirky Facts

• She initially refused to work with John Holmes because she was scared of his size, but she worked with him on set and admitted that he was a gentle soul.
• Gina had a singing career at one point; her CD, Wild Child Side, has songs that were co-written by her and she has traveled around the world touring with her album.

Life After Porn: Wrestling and Foot Fetishes

Throughout her years as a model and actress in the adult industry, she was active in female wrestling. Since her filming retirement, her love for wrestling and her involvement in the sport continued and she participates under her given name: Julie Winchester. Residing in Las Vegas, she does private sessions as well as custom matches-her sessions are both semi-competitive with men and fantasy-oriented. Gina also travels to California to shoot some custom matches from time to time. She is also into feet-she loves everything about feet and enjoys having her feet worshipped. She self-identifies as a "foot enthusiast" and is willing to cater to her a client base with foot fetish desires. In all, she is available for semi-competitive, fantasy, foot fetish, boxing, scissor sessions, facesitting, humiliation and light bondage-while also performing live webcam shows doing cyber wrestling. And as if all that weren't enough, she is also becoming certified as a personal trainer and works out daily with weight training and cardio.
