About Kendra
Of Puerto Rican, Cuban, French, and Irish descent, Kendra Jade Rossi was born April 19 1977 and grew up in Easthampton, Massachusetts. She is the oldest of five children and spent her childhood in a less than ideal situation. After years of cycling between her own home and many foster homes, Kendra finally gained her emancipation at the age of 14. At this point she took on the responsibility of raising her two very young sisters. She continued with her schooling while working long evenings and weekends as regional manager of Blockbuster stores to support the family. She remains devoted to the girls as they reach adulthood.
In 1998, Kendra grabbed at an opportunity for a career in the entertainment industry to better support the financial needs. She became a well known adult film star that is widely known as a favorite on the Howard Stern Radio Show. Dropping out of the film side of the industry in 2001, Kendra began touring throughout the country as the featured performer in gentlemen's clubs. She has appeared in music videos, feature films, magazines, radio, print, and television. Most recently, Kendra is appearing on the new VH1 show, Sex Rehab with Dr Drew. She also personally works with and contributes to various charities for runaway youth, women with eating disorders, and sexual abuse survivors.
Kendra met Canadian singer-songwriter Lukas Rossi, soon after he landed the lead singer position with an experimental band that Tommy Lee created for ABC's "Rockstar Supernova", a rock and roll music reality contest. The two were introduced by mutual friends, Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro in 2006 and were married in May 2007.
Today Kendra has moved on to music artist management. She and Lukas support many charities and several social causes, including NoH8 Campaign, an effort to empower the voice of the gay community in reaction to the passing of California's Proposition 8 against gay marriage. She is an activist in animal rights issues and runs her own successful animal rescue - Rockstar Rescue.

In fact , I'd much rather be with one man forever and ever !
I'd like to ask Kendra how she feels about the new laws being placed on the adult industry and where she sees herself in 5 years:
I'm completely pissed off about all the new laws because it seems like the government is just owning us these days and trying to make it as hard as they can for us to do what we do, but at the same time , I am slightly relieved because if it means one less young girl will be in it , then that is GREAT with me! In 5 years.... I don’t know... I don’t even know what I’ll be doing tomorrow!! LOL
