Tiny (5'1"), but buxom and shapely redhead stunner Katja Kassin was born on September 24, 1979 in Leipzig, Germany. The eldest of three children, Katja was ten years old when the Berlin Wall came down. Kassin's first job was selling ice cream at an Italian restaurant at age fifteen. Katja worked as a waitress for six years while attending both high school and college (she studied Political Science, German Lanquage, and Literature at the University of Leipzig). Kassin started out in the adult entertainment industry in September, 2000 as a nude model posing for various websites and local amateur photographers. She first began performing in explicit hardcore movies in 2003. Katja moved to the United States that same year and permanently settled in Los Angeles, California in late 2004. Kassin worked for porn talent agent Mark Spiegler for three and a half years. Moreover, she signed with the top agency L.A. Direct Models in September, 2006. Katja took a temporary hiatus from adult cinema in 2009, but eventually returned to performing in X-rated fare in December, 2011. Among the awards Kassin has won throughout her career are an Adam Film World Award for Actress of the Year in 2003, a XRCO Award for Orgasmic Analist in 2007, and AVN Awards for both Best Solo Sex Scene in 2006 and Best POV Sex Scene in 2009.
