[edit] Background

Devon grew up in in New Jersey or Allentown, Pennsylvania (see Notes section). She has an older sister and two younger brothers. Devon was active in gymnastics and jazz dance instruction until she was 15. She graduated from high school early and, shortly afterwards, took a waitress job to support herself. Devon then successfully auditioned for an amateur night at Al's Diamond Cabaret in Reading, Pennsylvania, winning the first place jackpot, and subsequently dancing at the club for three years. She graduated from the Saucon Valley School District in Hellertown, Pennsylvania in 1995 ^{[citation needed]}.

Devon has undergone considerable plastic surgery, not only to her breasts, but to her face as well.

[edit] Porn career

Devon's first foray into the adult film industry was in 1998, when she appeared in the film New Breed. Shortly thereafter, she became a highly sought after porn starlet and was signed to an exclusive contract with Vivid Entertainment.

In 1999, Devon made an appearance on E! Entertainment's Howard Stern Show and began posing for several men's magazines (including being on the cover of Club and being Penthouse Pet in January 2001).

In January 2002, Devon received the first award of her career: Adult Video News's Best Interactive DVD for Digital Playground's Virtual Sex With Devon (it was also later awarded Best Interactive DVD from Empire and AFW). Devon then signed an exclusive contract with Digital Playground that would last until she ended it 2006. In May 2002, Devon was featured on Stuff magazine's home page. In 2004, Devon appeared in the first WMV-HD DVD porn movie "Island Fever 3", filmed on Tahiti and Bora Bora. Devon performed her first anal scene in 2005's Intoxicated.

In 2006 Devon walked out on her contracts, claiming that she was tired of working for big adult companies and of being told what to do. In October of that year she signed a contract with Shane's World that would allow her to appear in and direct scenes for the company.<ref name="AVN">Thomas J. Stanton. "Shane’s World Signs Devon".
