Marie Louise Hartman (born March 11, 1959), known professionally as Nina Hartley,[1][2][3] is an American pornographic film actress and sex educator.[5][6] By 2017 she had appeared in more than one thousand adult films.[7] She has been described by Las Vegas Weekly as an "outspoken feminist" and "advocate for sexual freedom",[8] and by CNBC as "a legend in the adult world".[9]

Early life and education

[edit]

Hartley was born on March 11, 1959,[4] in Berkeley, California,[5] to a Lutheran father, Louis Hartman, and a Jewish mother, Blanche Hartman (née Gelders),[10][time needed] Her grandfather was a University of Alabama physics professor who was a Communist Party USA (CPUSA) party member in the 1930s.[11] Hartley's parents were members of the CPUSA[10][time needed] who converted to Buddhism when she was young.[12] Her father was blacklisted in 1957 for his communist beliefs.[13]

Hartley grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area,[14][15] and as a teenager self-identified as a feminist, influenced by the slogan "my body, my rules".[5][16][8] After graduating from Berkeley High School in 1977, she attended San Francisco State University's undergraduate nursing school and graduated magna cum laude in 1985,[11][14][17] receiving a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.[1] She was a registered nurse[18][12] until her license expired in 1986.[19]

Adult film career

[edit]

Hartley sought a career in pornography as a way to make a living by having sex,[5] later telling Las Vegas Weekly, "Porn gave me easy access to women without having to date them or have a relationship."[8] She writes that part of her reason for choosing sex work was to be able to indulge her exhibitionistic and voyeuristic streak.[20] She has said she chose her life's work when she saw the 1976 erotic film The Autobiography of a Flea alone at a theater in San Francisco.[21][10][time needed]

In 1982, during her sophomore year of nursing school, Hartley started working as a stripper at the Sutter Cinema and then the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre.[22][15] She told an interviewer that she chose the name "Nina" because it was easy for Japanese tourists to say during the time she was a dancer in San Francisco, and "Hartley" because it was close to her own last name, and she "wanted a name that sounded like that of a real person."[15]

Her pornographic film debut was in Educating Nina (1984),[5][23] where she was cast and directed by fellow performer Juliet Anderson.[22][24][25] For many years, she toured the United States and Canada as a stripper and made personal appearances at sex shops.[26][27] In 2013 she described her father's reaction upon learning about her occupation:

He asked, 'Why sex? Why not the violin?' I know now that I'm sexual the way that Mozart was musical [...] a life of public sexuality has, from my very first time on stage, been as natural to me as breathing."[16]

In the 1980s and early 1990s, Hartley starred in several of the Debbie Does Dallas film series spin-offs such as Debbie Duz Dishes (1986) and Debbie Does Wall Street (1991).[26] In 1992, she directed her first movie, Nina Hartley's Book of Love.[28] She also produced and starred in a series of sex education videos for Adam & Eve.[29] In 1994, she began her line of instructional videos marketed under the Nina Hartley's Guide brand.[27]

She played the part of Hillary Clinton in the 2008 satirical pornographic film Who's Nailin' Paylin?,[13] with Lisa Ann in the role of Sarah Palin.[30] As of 2015, she was still actively performing,[22] and by 2017 had appeared in more than one thousand pornographic films.[7] She has been described by the San Francisco Chronicle as "one of the best-known actresses in the industry"[24] and by CNBC as "a legend in the adult world".[9]

Mainstream media appearances

[edit]

Hartley acted in the 1996 Canadian film Bubbles Galore[31] and has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show.[9] In the 1997 film Boogie Nights, she played William H. Macy's character's serially unfaithful wife who is murdered.[14][27] She later remarked, "The only movie I ever died in for having sex was a mainstream movie."[14]

Hartley has appeared in several documentary films: she was interviewed in The Naked Feminist (2003)[32][33] was featured in After Porn Ends (2012), and appears in Sticky: A (Self) Love Story (2016),[34] in which she discusses masturbation with regards to education, the forced resignation of Joycelyn Elders, and her opinions on the blackballing of comedian Paul Reubens after his arrest for masturbating in a public theater.[citation needed]

Activism

[edit]

Las Vegas Weekly has described Hartley as an "outspoken feminist, sex educator and advocate for sexual freedom" and "a guiding force for a generation of feminist porn stars".[5][8] She has described herself both as a "classical liberal feminist"[35][36] and a democratic socialist.[13] Hartley began engaging in feminist activism in the 1980s.[37] She has said:

Based on my experience as a woman and a sexual being, and my understanding that I had the right to decide for myself what to do with my life – that’s what I understood to be feminist, to give everybody choices – I didn’t choose to be a mother but I chose this [porn] because it suits me.[38]

Hartley has also been involved in socialist activism[39] and has also been affiliated with the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC), a labor union founded in 2014 for pornographic film actors.[13]

Hartley was elected to the board of the Free Speech Coalition in 1995,[40] and is a long-time board member of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation (founded in 2003).[41] She has made frequent appearances at academic conferences, workshops, and in the media to promote sex positivity.[42] She has given lectures at Dartmouth College, Harvard University, and the University of California.[3][41]

Writing

[edit]

In 2006, Hartley co-authored Nina Hartley's Guide to Total Sex with her husband Ira Levine. The book includes sections on sex toys, swinging, threesomes, dominance and submission, and erotic spanking.[14] Library Journal called the book a "well-written guide" that is "strong on both safe sex and a permissive approach", saying Hartley "handles the material frankly, accurately, and with sensitivity".[14]

Personal life

[edit]

Hartley is a self-described bisexual, swinger, and exhibitionist.[8][11][43] She married her first husband, a former Students for a Democratic Society leader,[11] in a three-way marriage with a second woman in 1986.[22] She describes the relationship as a "very unhappy marriage" to "someone who was not a good candidate for mating with a sex worker".[44]

Following her divorce in 2003,[22] Hartley married Ira Levine, known professionally as Ernest Greene,[44] a director of bondage films and editor of Hustler's Taboo magazine, with whom she had had a secret relationship in the 1980s.[45] They are openly polyamorous.[44][45] As of 2014, the couple lives in Los Angeles.[45]
