“Turning 30 and becoming a real MILF
opened so many doors for me…”
There was a time a decade or so ago when Christie Stevens was at a crossroads.
The 25-year-old had earned her BS in mass communications, but this was in the
aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the job market was soft. So she asked
herself, law school or porn? She decided that she could do law school anytime,
but porn had more of a time limit. Christie back-pocketed her legal dreams and
headed for Porn Valley.
Over 10 years the busty blonde has proven herself to be one of the most
endearing and enduring performers of her time. Stevens has amassed close to
400 scenes since her debut with Justin Magnum for the HornyBirds website in
November 2011, checking off goal after goal and penciling in some new ones
along the way.
Christie grew up in Southern California with a Mormon mother and a non-
LDS father and went to the promised land to attend the University of Utah. She
supported herself by working in a local topless club in the Mormon mecca of Salt
Lake City, which made for some curious situations. Yes, Mormons occasionally
flouted church rules to go inside. Her mother showed up at the club once, too.
Surprisingly, Christie says turning 30 was actually the biggest highlight of her
career.
“I was officially the MILF age, in great shape, and I felt 100% happy to do MILF
scenes once I was 30,” she says. “Directors finally knew where to put me! Turning
30 and becoming a real MILF opened so many doors for me. So many companies
I hadn’t shot for previously. I had been in that 25-29 range that no one really
knows where to put or what to do with. That’s also when I started with ATMLA.”
In addition, Christie has been learning how to direct, while she continues
shooting for other companies.
“I used to watch other directors and think there’s so much going on I could never
learn that! But I have been! I’ve been picking it up! And I’m passionate about it,”
Stevens says. “And having a new passion helps performing not get old.”
