Lisa Ann
The MILF who became a cultural phenomenon - from Sarah Palin parodies to mainstream stardom and industry activism
Biography
Lisa Ann (born Lisa Ann Corpora on May 9, 1972, in Easton, Pennsylvania) is arguably the most famous MILF performer in adult entertainment history. A triple Hall of Famer (AVN, XRCO, and Urban X), she transcended the industry to become a genuine pop culture icon, most notably through her viral Sarah Palin parodies that captured mainstream attention during the 2008 presidential election.
Her career began in 1994 with her debut in "Cinesex 2" under contract with Metro/Cal Vista. After leaving the industry in 1997 due to health concerns, she spent seven years as a feature dancer and even owned a day spa. Her 2006 comeback changed everything - within two years, she would become one of the most recognizable faces in adult entertainment.
The release of "Who's Nailin' Paylin?" on Election Day 2008 was a masterstroke of timing. Lisa Ann's portrayal of "Serra Paylin" went viral, leading to appearances in Eminem's "We Made You" music video and voice work in Grand Theft Auto V. She reprised the role in multiple sequels and became a Halloween costume phenomenon when Hustler released a mask in her likeness.
Beyond performing, Lisa Ann built an empire: she launched Lisa Ann Productions in 2013, directed award-winning films including "MILF Revolution," ran a talent management agency, and hosted fantasy sports shows on SiriusXM. After retiring in 2014 and writing her autobiography "The Life," she returned in 2018 with Evil Angel. Her advocacy for performer health, condom use, and industry reform has made her one of the most respected voices in adult entertainment.

Career
Lisa Ann's 2006 return to the industry after a seven-year hiatus was nothing short of spectacular. Her first scene back, shot for Suze Randall with Christian XXX, signaled that she had only gotten better with time. The XRCO immediately recognized her with the Best Comeback award. Within three years, she would be inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame and crowned MILF/Cougar Performer of the Year - cementing her status as the definitive MILF performer of her generation.
November 4, 2008 changed everything. "Who's Nailin' Paylin?" released on Election Day and became a viral sensation. Lisa Ann's uncanny Sarah Palin impression - perfected by studying Tina Fey's SNL sketches and actual debate footage - transcended adult entertainment entirely. She reprised the role in five sequels, appeared as Palin in Eminem's chart-topping "We Made You" video, and performed the character at strip clubs nationwide. Hustler even produced a Halloween mask of her portrayal.
Lisa Ann successfully crossed over into mainstream entertainment and business. She voiced "Prostitute #2" in Grand Theft Auto V, one of the best-selling video games ever. She launched Lisa Ann Productions with Jules Jordan Video, directing "MILF Revolution" which won Best MILF Release at the 2014 AVN Awards. Her SiriusXM show "Lisa Ann Does Fantasy" made her the first adult star to host a major fantasy sports program. Her 2015 autobiography "The Life" revealed the woman behind the legend, and her advocacy for performer health and industry reform continues to shape the business.
