Career

Klass began starring in pornographic movies around 1997, becoming the best known collaborator with director Seymore Butts, aka Adam Glasser, to whom she was once engaged.[2][3] Klass had a tattoo on her rear reading "Seymore Butts." However, following an acrimonious break up in 2000 she has since had it covered with a dolphin.[4] Tampa Tushy Fest, Part 1, a 1998 video featuring Klass in a lesbian fisting scene with Chloe Nicole, resulted in Glasser being charged with obscenity.[4] Glasser pleaded public nuisance charge as part of an agreement with the Los Angeles city attorney's office on March 20, 2002. He also paid a fine of $1,000.[5]

Other ventures

Klass has worked as a host on the Playboy television show, Inside Adult,[6] and wrote a column for Club Confidential magazine.[6]

Appearances

Klass had a brief cameo as a cheerleader in the movie Cruel Intentions in 1999.[7] She appeared briefly as a dancer in the 2001 independent film The Center of the World.[6][8] Klass has also made appearances on the Howard Stern Show, both television and radio, as well as various documentaries about the adult industry as herself including Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy in 2001.[9] She also is sometimes discussed on the Dan Patrick Show for stealing sushi from Todd Fritz.

Personal life

She studied directing and screenwriting at UCLA in 2001.[6] She was engaged to Seymore Butts and briefly dated sports agent Dan Lozano.[10] She went on a sushi date with Todd Fritz from the Dan Patrick Show years ago.
