Jeanna Fine (September 29, 1964October 2025) was an American pornographic film actress.
Early life
Fine was born on September 29, 1964 in New York State.
Career
Fine joined the adult film industry in her early 20s. She starred in the films Skin Hunger, My Surrender, and Cafe Flesh 2. She was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 1997. She is also in the X-Rated Critic's Association's Hall of Fame.
Fine had a small role in the 1999 film The Boondock Saints as a dancer.
An interview with Fine was featured on the album Try Me by American post-hardcore band Self Defense Family. The 40-minute interview split between two tracks focuses on her childhood and early adulthood before she entered the pornography industry.
Personal life and death
Fine became involved in a long-term relationship with fellow pornographic actress Savannah. In a 1999 interview following the airing of the E! True Hollywood Story about Savannah's life and death, Fine commented, "We had an ongoing, on-again, off-again, volatile, loving relationship. At that time I was having a lot of problems myself. Between [Sikki] Nixx and Savannah pushing and pulling, I pretty much at one point ran away from them both. I couldn't take it any longer. But I feel I left her behind when she needed me most. It's very sad."
Fine died in October 2025 from heart failure, less than a week after her 61st birthday. Her death was announced by her friend and former roommate Thomas Taliaferro, who performed in pornographic films under the name Tom Byron.
