Nina Hartley, born Marie Louise Hartman in March 1959 in Berkeley, California, is an American pornographic film actress and sex educator. She grew up as the youngest of four children in a family with a Lutheran father and Jewish mother; her parents converted to Buddhism, and her mother worked as a biochemist after her father faced blacklisting for communist affiliations. Identifying as a feminist in her teens, influenced by "my body, my rules," she graduated magna cum laude from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1985 and worked as a registered nurse until 1986. Hartley entered the adult film industry in 1984 with her debut in *Educating Nina*, directed by Juliet Anderson, choosing the stage name for its simplicity. She began as a stripper in San Francisco venues like the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre. By 2017, she had appeared in over 1,000 films, starring in series like *Debbie Does Dallas* spin-offs (*Debbie Duz Dishes*, 1986; *Debbie Does Wall Street*, 1991). She directed *Nina Hartley's Book of Love* (1992), produced sex education videos for Adam & Eve, and launched the *Nina Hartley's Guide* instructional series in 1994. Achievements include AVN Awards (e.g., Best Actress for *Debbie Duz Dishes*, 1987; Hall of Fame), XRCO Awards (Female Performer of the Year, 1989; Hall of Fame, 1996), and others like Free Speech Coalition Lifetime Achievement (1988) and XBIZ Awards. As a sex educator, Hartley advocates for sexual freedom and produces educational content on topics like safe sex and pleasure. She has lectured at universities including Dartmouth, Harvard, and UC, and serves on boards like the Free Speech Coalition (elected 1995) and Woodhull Freedom Foundation. Described as an outspoken feminist and advocate for sexual freedom, she engages in socialist activism and affiliates with the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee. Personally, Hartley is bisexual, a swinger, and exhibitionist. She married in 1986 in a three-way marriage that ended in divorce in 2003, then wed Ira Levine (Ernest Greene) in 2003; they live polyamorously in Los Angeles. She co-authored *Nina Hartley's Guide to Total Sex* (2006) and remains active in performances and advocacy as of 2015.
