Carli Banks

Carli Banks, born on November 16, 1985, in Iowa City, Iowa, is a retired American adult film actress and model. Raised in Iowa, she was a self-described farmer's daughter. After winning several local beauty pageants, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue modeling and acting, entering the adult entertainment industry in 2005 at age 20 with FM Concepts, debuting in softcore and fetish films, per IMDb and globalzonetoday.com. "I have had no intention of doing hardcore films." She later told AVN in 2009, "I just thought I could do nudie magazines and some tame fetish stuff to make money and then break into acting". After missing her rent in LA for two months, she decided to ask for adult film work, but only for girl/girl since Banks felt doing boy/girl would be crossing a line she wasn't ready for. She appeared in over 180 films, including Fem: Staccato (2006), The Charlie-Carli Bondage Festival (2012), and titles for studios like Penthouse, Hustler, Club Jenna, Digital Playground, Girlfriends Films, and Adam & Eve, per IAFD and Boobpedia. Specializing in solo, lingerie, satin panties, and girl/girl scenes, she used aliases like Carla Banks, Carlie Banks, and Cassidy Banks, per Wikiporno. Named Penthouse Pet of the Month (July 2005) and featured on Hustler’s cover (February 2006), she also posed for High Society and Swank, per Wikiporno. Bisexual, Banks said she enjoys men and women …
