About Gina Lynn

Just one day after Valentine’s Day in 1974, Gina Lynn was born Tanya Mercado in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. In fact, Gina Lynn’s beauty came from her Puerto Rican and Italian parents. Growing up, Gina Lynn spent the majority of her time with her mother in Jackson Township, New Jersey. While still in high school, Gina Lynn started working as an erotic dancer at age 19. Being a full-time student and dancing as a part-time stripper had caused Gina Lynn’s Catholic school classmates to gossip about her “outrageous” behavior. Nevertheless, it did not stop Gina Lynn from making money by dancing.  

Turning into 21 years old was a big deal for every young adult, especially for Gina Lynn. In fact, Gina Lynn’s career in the adult industry took off when she relocated herself in Reading, Pennsylvania, at age 21. The big turning point for Gina Lynn was when she started dancing at the nation’s famous gentlemen’s club, Al’s Diamond Cabaret. As an outstanding dancer and a gorgeous young lady, Gina Lynn’s performances at Al’s Diamond Cabaret brought her quite some attention to the public. As a consequence, Gina Lynn was soon offered the opportunity to pose for many men’s magazines. In 1997, Gina Lynn did her first photo shoot for Chéri magazine.

Gina Lynn’s career of adult film started when she was discovered by Mad Jack, a pornographic film actor and director. Mad Jack found Gina Lynn when she danced at The Can Can Room in Las Vegas. Mad Jack’s instinct told himself that Gina Lynn would be a great adult film actress, and therefore he approached her and asked if she would join the cast on the films that he’s about to work on. In 2001, Gina Lynn got her first contract with Pleasure Production and made her first adult film debut, 18 in Vegas, within the same year. Since then, Gina Lynn had been a shining star in the industry and had appeared in 148 films so far.

Today, Gina Lynn is an adult video store owner in Pennsylvania and she is looking forward to open another store in New York. Although Gina Lynn does not act as much as she used to be before, she now works more as an adult film director. In addition, Gina Lynn has never stopped dancing because she believes that it is the best way to keep her and her fans close and interacting.
