Nicole Aniston
The banker who became Penthouse royalty - 2013 Pet of the Year, Vixen Angel, parody specialist, and cannabis advocate with 350+ films
Biography
Nicole Aniston (born Ashley Nicole Miller on September 9, 1987, in San Diego, California) transformed from a bank teller into one of adult entertainment's most recognizable faces. The 2013 Penthouse Pet of the Year, Vixen Angel (2018), and Naughty America exclusive contract star built a 350+ film career spanning 15 years, becoming particularly celebrated for her work in high-profile parodies including the AVN Award-winning "Spartacus MMXII: The Beginning."
Of German and Greek heritage, Nicole grew up in Escondido and Temecula in Riverside County, California. Her early life included outdoor activities and beach time - typical Southern California upbringing. She worked in banking and customer service before the adult industry called. Her first credited film, released through Sticky Video in 2009, launched a career that would see her become one of the most sought-after performers of the 2010s. She had breast augmentation surgery in February 2011.
In 2010, Reality Kings signed her, leading to standout scenes including "Cum Catcher" and "All Hunnies." Her 2011 scene with Mike Adriano in "Big Tit Creampie #13" won AVN's Best Internal Release at the 30th AVN Awards. Elegant Angel's "Hard Bodies" (2011) earned nominations at both AVN and XBIZ. In 2012, Penthouse came calling - Pet of the Month in August 2012, then Pet of the Year in 2013. That same year, Brazzers signed her; her first scene with Johnny Sins launched a prolific partnership with the studio.
Nicole's parody work stands out: "Spartacus MMXII: The Beginning" (Wicked Pictures, 2012) won AVN Best Parody: Drama. "Men In Black: A Hardcore Parody" featured her three-way with Kaylani Lei and director Brad Armstrong. "This Ain't The Smurfs XXX," "Xena XXX," and "Flashdance XXX" added to her parody portfolio. In 2014, Naughty America made her their second-ever exclusive "Role Model" contract star. In 2017, she reached the Brazzers House 2 finals. Her 2013 website launch won AVN awards for Best Pornstar Site and Best Web Director. She is married to MMA fighter Keith Berry and is an open cannabis advocate.
