Jill Kelly has been in the adult entertainment industry for more than ten years. In that time she has been in 420 porno movies. Kelly started out as a stripper at the Baby Dolls strip club in Ontario, California. She started performing on stage at fifteen (although she said she was 18). After a fight with her then boyfriend he called the club where she worked and told them her true age. She was promptly fired from Baby Dolls. A few years later when she did turn 18 legally she returned to the same club to work and they didn’t even recognize her.
Kelly started her own production company in October 1998. In April 2006, Penthouse Magazine acquired the assets of Jill Kelly Productions, which had filed for bankruptcy. Penthouse paid $1.765 million for the entire JKP back catalogue and nearly 60 as of yet unreleased features.
