Sharon grew up in Ohio, where she attended high school and trained in classical violin for 15 years. After she graduated she moved to San Francisco, California and began work as an exotic dancer at a club called The Screening Room in the mid-70's.

Sharon entered the porn industry in 1978, and her first big break came with the movie Exposed in 1980. She holds the world record for appearing in over 859 pornographic movies.

Porn Star Sharon Kane is one of the most highly respected and honored erotic actresses ever, and she's earned a place among the top starlets of all time. Sharon Kane broke into the business in 1978 as was still going strong into the 90's. Sharon kane started out as a thin, busty bleach-blonde with a cute face. Over her lengthy career in hardcore, Sharon Kane had extensive cosmetic surgery, which altered her facial look considerably, making it sometimes hard to believe that she's the same woman. One thing that remained a constant is Sharon Kane's sensuality and enthusiasm for on-screen sex. Sharon Kane appeared in more than 400 films during her legendary career and never failed to give a believable, arousing performance.

Sharon Kane's career had its share of ups and downs as she weathered the industry's transition from theatrical film-focused to video quickies. Her first big break came in 1980's 'Exposed,' which brought her widespread fame for her exuberant blonde bombshell routine. Sharon Kane's turn with John Leslie in 'Talk Dirty To Me 1' is a major reason for the film's inclusion in the XRCO Hall of Fame. She won the XRCO's very first Best Supporting Actress award for her sizzling work in 'Throat -- 12 Years After,' and took home the Adult Film Association's Best Sex Scene award for her trysting in 'Passage Thru Pamela.' Sharon Kane also starred in 'Sexcapades', another Hall of Fame film. She struggled for a time trying to make the transition to video, as younger, more traditionally pretty girls took all the roles, but Sharon Kane came back strong and continued to churn out vibrant sex performances throughout the 1980's. Her persistence and professionalism were rewarded in 1989 when Sharon Kane was inducted into the XRCO Performers Hall of Fame, a fitting tribute to a hard-working, sensual erotic actress who always gave 200%.

Sharon Kane must have made a Faustian pact with the devil because She still looks as lovely and sensuously vigorous as did in her smut-flick debut in 1978. If anything, she's become more erotically enticing over the years, and certainly more knowledgeable and experienced. Sharon Kane is possibly unique amongst porn stars for starting out mainly portraying beach-blonde bimbo types to later on playing the most sophisticated of older women seducing nice young boys.

Sharon Kane has a natural talent for creating a moment of eroticism on the screen, and Her scene with Paul Thomas in Fantasy remains one of the single classics of romantic hardcore sex. In the '90s, she continued to turn in ball-busting sexual performances, romantic, or down and dirty, or just plain hot. She's starred in some impressive films, in fact a lot of the films featured in this collection are in the XRCO Hall of Fame and her performances are an integral part of these movies receiving such acclaim.

As her roles in mainstream porn decreased, she starred in a number of bisexual male-male based porn films, which often include scenes pairing Sharon with two bisexual men and / or transsexuals. She has undergone plastic surgery.

Sharon Kane is member of both the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.

Today Sharon Kane works behind the camera as director, production manager, art director and film composer for 13 movies. She wrote the scores for 1997's The Hills Have Bi's and Chi Chi La Rue?s Idol In The Sky. She directed and starred in Stairway to Paradise, the movie featured in the book Coming Attractions: The Making of an X-Rated Movie.

Sharon is now head of production for Naughty America's gay site Suite 703.
