Jennifer Ketcham, known as Penny Flame in the adult industry, was born in Aurora, Colorado, USA. She entered pornography at age 18 after responding to an ad in the San Diego State University newspaper. Her career included directing for Shane's World Studios in 2005 and signing a deal with Vivid Entertainment and Tristan Taormino in 2008 to create sex education films like Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Handjobs and Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Rough Sex.
Notable works earned her awards, including 2005 AVN for Best Solo Sex Scene (Repo Girl), 2006 AVN for Best Couples and Group Sex Scenes (Dark Side), XRCO for Best Onscreen Couple, and Adam Film World Actress of the Year. She appeared on reality TV, such as VH1's Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2009, where she addressed sex addiction, and Sober House in 2010.
Flame retired in 2009, later discussing addiction on shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tyra Banks Show, The View, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, and Lifechangers. As a writer and artist, she launched the Becoming Jennie blog in 2009, contributed to The Huffington Post, and published the memoir I Am Jennie in 2012. She is an avid painter, viewing it as a healthy outlet for sex addiction recovery.
