Stacey Donvoan was born as Kelley Howell in Encino, California in 1964. She entered porn as she badly needed money, and continued doing it strictly as the money was too good to give up. She was warned by numerous photographers not to do XXX movies. They told her she was too pretty for porn, and that the industry would destroy her. She didn't listen, and suffered in the end.
Stacey grew up a strict Catholic, and had no sexual experience prior to porn, and learned everything on the set. Her mom found out about her XXX career, but her father didn't know at the time. She stated if he found out, that he would never speak to her again.
At one point Stacey wanted to go to school to study merchandising, or child care.
