Fresh Faces: Uma Jolie

This article originally ran in the June 2016 issue of AVN magazine. Hometown: Burbank | Age: 21 | Height: 5-foot-3 | Measurements: 34-23-34 | Eyes: Grey-Green Uma Jolie loves to be outdoors, whether it’s hiking, hitting the beach, riding a bike or just gazing into the night sky. “I’m fascinated by astrology,” Jolie says. “I’ve read a lot about it and the thing that intrigues me the most about astrology is how we’re so small compared to the universe.” Jolie’s own star is on the rise. The sexy native of Burbank, California, is in the midst of her second campaign in the porn business, specializing in girl/girl scenes. Now based in Miami, the uninhibited performer says she always enjoyed watching porn, so becoming a stripper and then venturing into adult wasn’t a stretch. “I’m very open with my sexuality,” she says. The just-turned 21-year-old starlet first entered the industry in the summer of 2014, doing 16 scenes as she split time between girl/girl and solo work. Then she took eight months off and decided to get back into the porn business last fall. She tried boy/girl this time, throwing down for about a half dozen scenes in Miami before concluding that boy/girl sex on camera wasn’t working for her. “I like girls more, so I’ve been trying to focus more on my girl/girl,” she said. Jolie’s first time on camera was with Goldie Rush for Filly Films’ Kissing Cousins 3. “I was nervous but more excited than nervous to see exactly how it went down and what the director expected of me, so it was kind of in the middle but more enjoyable because the girl I was filming with was actually a friend of mine,” Jolie said. A former sales associate at Abercrombie & Fitch, she made her initial foray into porn after being discovered by a former agent at a strip club in L.A. She started at the club as a bartender before transitioning to dancing.  “He had approached me with erotic photography and I was open to that,” Jolie recalled. “We picked out a date for him to shoot me and I met up with him and he was shooting me in bikinis and I was taking my shirt off and during that he asked me if I was comfortable enough to film a girl/girl video. At first I was …I don’t know, let me think about it. And two days later I was like you know what, put me down. I’m down, I don’t care. I don’t really look at porn degradingly. I actually really enjoy it, so that’s how it all happened.” Immediately intrigued, Jolie said she wanted to shoot more and become better at it. Jolie said her second time around she’s treating this like a business; at press time she was working with a business partner in Miami on creating an agency and production company and also was preparing content for UmaJoliexxx.com.  “Now I look at it differently. I totally look at it like a lot of work and this is a career. And this is a career path that I want to go down,” Jolie said, noting she’d like to build something that’s talent friendly and makes the entire industry better. “That’s what pulled me to Miami.” Jolie said she was working on producing and directing a girl/girl movie for Filly Films.  “I’ve already been coming up with all kinds of ideas,” Jolie said. Jolie, whose ethnic background is Mexican, Romanian, Hungarian and German, has striking eyes that are dark gray and green. “They change colors depending on what I wear,” she revealed. The performer said her stage name was inspired by actresses Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie.  “My natural hair color is dark brown and I used to have straight across bangs and a bob cut and everybody used to call me Uma Thurman, so that was the first pick,” she explained. Jolie has also performed for companies such as Girlfriends Films (Aspen Rae Experience), Digital Desire (Erotic Babes), Mofos, Nubiles and Jules Jordan Video (Slut Puppies 10). In March, she landed in Bad Girls Boot Camp for Wicked Pictures. She also recently teamed with Veronica Rodriguez for girl/girl scenes in Miami.
