Alexis Amore (born December 29, 1978 in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian American pornographic actress, exotic dancer and model.

Biography

Amore and her parents moved to Redondo Beach, California when she was nine years old. She attended a Christian high school in Hermosa Beach, and she was a cheerleader during her time there. At fifteen, she began her modeling career as a model for Nordstrom and was featured in their fliers and publications. She continued modeling for catalogs. She had a breast augmentation prior to beginning her pornographic career.

Around 1998, during an audition for an HBO production, the person auditioning her suggested that she audition for Playboy, where she became a model for Playboy TV. While working on Playboy's Nightcalls, she interviewed Jewel De'Nyle and Alexa Rae about the pornographic industry. Comforted by their replies and wanting to experience it for herself, she contacted Vivid Entertainment and was hired for her first film (The Watcher 6) two days later in November 1999 as one of her first seven porn videos.

In January 2003, she re-entered the industry after a short break, and signed exclusively with Jill Kelly Productions (JKP) and began in February 2003. She eventually left the company a year later and signed another exclusive contract with Anabolic. This latter contract included not only performances on video, but also included directing; her directorial debut being Lascivious Latinas.

Since early 2006, Amore has infrequently written for AVN Insider, is a contract girl for Metro/Video Team, and has a new sex-toys contract with California Exotic Novelties. She refers to fellow porn actress Olivia O'Lovely as "Wifey".
