- Half Cherokee Indian and half Caucasian, the exotic Lezley Zen arrived on the porn scene around 2001. Before her porn career she had worked as a restaurant manager in her home state of South Carolina. After her first marriage ended, she began appearing in bikini contests and wet T-shirt contests. It was during this period that she met Trevor Zen, who was a personal trainer, and began working with him. They soon became engaged. The contacts she made while appearing in the bikini and wet T-shirt contests resulted in her meeting with executives from Wicked Pictures, a major porn production company. She said that her reason for entering the business was to pay off expenses from her divorce as well as to spite her fiancée, who also began working in the business, though the two appeared in several movies together. Since her debut Lezley has won her share of awards. In March 2006 she reportedly retired from the industry, but that may well have been a brief hiatus. Her works continue well beyond 2006 and are not likely to stop anytime soon.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Adam Sinns (qv's & corrections by A. Nonymous)

- [on why she got into porn] Mainly the money. I managed restaurants for ten years, worked 120 hours a week, and walked with about $1,200 a week before taxes. Just not worth it. Originally the reason I got in was to spite my fiance. Then I found out how much money I could make, so I just stayed in it.
- Not a lot of acting goes into the sex. I'm an exhibitionist by nature. I love to be the center of attention, and I love people watching me. I like to put on a show. Even in my own sex life I'm really exhibitionist. It's not really acting. Its just part of who I really am.
- I won't work with Bobby Vitale. That's the one person I won't work with. Other than that, I've never refused to work with anyone. It's just that Bobby Vitale is a bit over the edge for me.
- I hang out in upscale places. I don't get recognized that much. I wear normal clothes. I've never worn the porn girl attire. I've never had my boobs and ass hanging out all the time. I like keeping a sense of elegance and class about me. Just because I may be one way for a living or behind closed doors does not mean I want to be that way all the time.
- All my friends know. I don't have much family, really, that I keep in touch with. But most of my friends know back home.
