Nina Hartley (born Marie Louise Hartman; March 11, 1959) is an American pornographic actress, pornographic film director, sex educator, feminist, and author.
Nina stated that when she got into the adult business, she was blessed with two popular fetish items: “big, baby-blue eyes and that round butt with a high, small waist”, with her buttocks becoming her trademark.
Hartley considers herself a liberal and an outspoken sex-positive feminist. Addressing other women, she said “Sex isn’t something men do to you. It isn’t something men get out of you. Sex is something you dive into with gusto and like it every bit as much as he does.”
Hartley has been an advocate for the adult film industry’s right to exist, and had often been called on when television news programs and talk shows required an articulate, leading adult film actress to support the pro side. She appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show with fellow porn actress Ona Zee. The two came under hard scrutiny from the mostly female audience, but refused to back down and were outspoken in their support of the industry.
Nina crossed over into mainstream Hollywood with an appearance in the 1997 film Boogie Nights, in which she played William H. Macy’s serially unfaithful wife. She also appeared in the 1996 Canadian film Bubbles Galore.
Hartley played the part of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the film Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?, a pornographic parody of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin with Lisa Ann in the role of Palin.
Nina Hartley has a line of instructional videos which are marketed under the Nina Hartley’s Guide brand covering the entire sexual spectrum, from basic sexual intercourse and foreplay, to anal sex and bondage. In 2006 she published her first book Nina Hartley’s Guide to Total Sex.
This is a special treat – “How to eat Pussy”, an educational film on how to please women orally.
