Leanni Lei is a pornstar from the Philippines who began her career in 1997 when she was 24 years old and retired in 2006 after appearing in 160 porn movies and many more internet videos.
She was born on June 6, 1974 named Anna M. Stetler in the Philippines but she grew up in Irvine, California, United States, as her family moved to the US when she was little. She was a cheerleader and member of the honor society in high school. Her father was in the military and her mother was a restaurant manager, and when they divorced Leanni became angry, started to smoke marijuana and was expelled from the cheerleader team.
Her first job was at a retail shop, but as she found it boring and unsatisfying, she decided to try exotic dancing and adult modeling, getting inspiration from pornstar Mimi Miyagi and her dream was to make a movie with her. At the same time she was studying in college and she ended up majoring in Finance and minoring in Accounting.
The petite big-eyed beauty showed her skills and ability right from the beginning. Her first movie was shot for Ed Powers in October 1997, but after working for a year she was tired and left the industry to finish with her studies. In 1999 she returned and kept on working but not just for the money, as she always chose the people and the roles she wanted and fulfilled her dream of working with Mimi Miyagi, who also helped Leanni to set up her website.
In 2004 she retired, as she was part of an older generation and was exhausted with porn. She kept in touch with her fans via a blog but had to stop with that after she suffered an intrusion to her personal life and her home. She now struggles when she is noticed in public for her porn career and distanced herself as much as she could with the industry.
Some fun facts of Leanni include her appearance in Notorious BIG’s song “One More Chance” where she’s seated next to Tyson Beckford, an apparent appearance in the film “8mm” in a brief porno film watched by Nicolas Cage’s character and that her mom’s reaction to her porn career was “I think your thingy is showing”.
