Alana Evans (born July 6, 1976) is an American pornographic actress. She is sometimes credited as Jenna Talia (a pun on the word genitalia—she hated the alias so much that she changed back to «Alana Evans» after two films). In 2015, Evans was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.
Evans was born in Fort Campbell, Kentucky and raised in San Jose, California. She has also lived in Sacramento and Los Angeles. Her first job was at a Round Table Pizza parlor. Evans had an appendectomy at age 14.
Evans and her husband became part owners of their favorite club, which is where she says she lost her remaining inhibitions. She became a stripper and pole dancer and began considering modeling work. Due to a scar from an appendectomy Evans believed that she would not get any magazine work, thus she went into the porn industry at age 21. She entered the adult film industry on March 24, 1998, and did her first scene with Mr. Marcus in the film Real Sex Magazine 11. She initially used the mononym Alana, which was derived from her former husband’s name, Alan. She added the last name Evans to her stage name a few years after debuting in porn. Her agent at the time was Reb Sawitz of Pretty Girl International. She signed with the agent Shy Love on May 7, 2012.
