Gauge, born Elizabeth Renee Deans on July 24, 1980, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA, is a former American pornographic actress and feature dancer. Standing at 4'11" (1.50 m), she entered the adult film industry in 1999 at age 19, performing in approximately 200 films known for her petite build and enthusiastic performances in gonzo and hardcore genres. Career highlights include winning the 2003 XRCO Award for Best Threeway Sex Scene (shared with Aurora Snow and Jules Jordan) in 'Trained Teens' and the 2005 KSEXradio Listener's Choice Award for Favorite Porn Star. She retired in 2005 amid a contract dispute with her management. Post-retirement, Gauge pursued certification as a surgical technologist and makeup artist but faced significant employment barriers due to her porn background, including recognition by colleagues and harassment. As of 2026, the 45-year-old remains retired and out of the public eye.
