Strikingly buxom and shapely brunette knockout Sydnee Steele was born Amy Jaynes on September 23, 1968 in Dallas, Texas. The daughter of a college professor, Sydnee was a very shy and introverted child. Steele worked as a financial officer at a yacht company in Texas and as a jewelry saleswoman in a Dallas shopping mall. It was while working at this latter job that Sydnee met Michael Raven, who at the time was a car salesman, but later became a noted porn filmmaker. Steele and Raven got married, discovered a common interest in hardcore movies and swinging, and moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue careers in the adult film industry. Sydnee first became involved in the adult entertainment business through her friend A.J. Cromwell, who was the owner and publisher of the Texas adult entertainment listings guide Sundown. Steele subsequently met adult film director Brad Armstrong at a Gentleman's Expo and acted in her first big hardcore feature for Armstrong. She then went on to work for such major companies as Vivid, VCA Pictures, Sin City, Elegant Angel, and New Sensations prior to signing an exclusive contract with Wicked Pictures in 2001. Sydnee won AVN Awards for both Best All-Girl Sex Scene - Video and Best Couples Sex Scene - Film in 2001, Best Actress - Video in 2002, and Best Supporting Actress Video in 2003. Moreover, Steele was inducted into the AVN Hall of
Fame in 2007. In addition, Sydnee wrote the monthly column The Steele Factor for AVN from 2002 to 2004 as well as penned several articles for both AVN Online and Club magazine. She retired from the adult film industry in April, 2005. In the wake of said retirement Steele studied with Dr. Patti Britton so she could become a certified Pranic instructor and sex coach. In 2006 Sydnee co-wrote the instructional book "Seducing Your Woman" with hypnotherapist Luke Smith.
