Fresh Faces: Raven Hart

Hometown: Philadelphia | Age: 40 | 5-foot-3 | 128 pounds | 36-27-36 | Hair: Brown | Eyes: Gray “I’ve always worked in some degree in the sex industry,” Raven Hart said. “I was an exotic dancer in Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey, and then I progressed to being a dominatrix, and now here I am doing this. I felt like it was a natural progression. I had a lot of friends in the industry, and I decided ‘Why not?’” She started when an ex-boyfriend suggested she try exotic dancing. “At first I was very nervous. I went in to audition and I remember it still. At first my motivation was just for the money, but once I started to do it I really loved it. I like performing and I’m very comfortable with my body, so I thought ‘I can do this.’ I danced for five years in the tri-state area.” Hart shot her first scenes on December 16, 2016, for Brazzers in Las Vegas. “I shot two scenes, with Jessy Jones and Arya Fae. I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, but once I got warmed up, it was great. Jessy Jones is great to work with, and so was Arya.” She says her best scene so far was with Manuel Ferrara for MILF Private Fantasies: “He was great to work with. Very fun. I liked the premise of the scene: I was a doctor giving him a special pill to help him relax. It was his POV. It was fun and improv, and I liked it a lot.” She says she’s impressed by the attitude of her co-workers: “The one thing that I have noticed is that whether it’s the director, or an assistant, or talent, or agents, everybody is nice, very friendly, very respectful. I haven’t felt that in other areas I have worked in.” Like when you were stripping? “Yes! [laughs]” Hart says she’s looking forward to an IR scene with Sean Michaels or Lexington Steele. “Sean is a friend of mine. We’ve talked about it. I’ve never done anything with him on camera.” Her hobbies are working out and reading. (“Mostly non-fiction. I’m boring. Art and history are my two favorites. I have a bachelor’s degree in art and I specialized on jewelry and metalsmithing.”) Her words to live by: “Live life to the fullest without any regrets.” Book her through OC Modeling.
