Noname Jane, also known as Violet Blue, is the stage name of an American former pornographic actress. She was born in Aberdeen, Washington. A former cheerleader, she took 12 years of ballet and piano lessons. She left college where she was studying Environmental Science, to transfer to beauty school. She was working as a stripper when she was approached by an agent about doing work in adult films. She traveled to California, did some photo shoots and then began performing in hardcore films. In 2002 she won the Adult Video News Best New Starlet award. In October 2007, a lawsuit brought by the author Violet Blue charged that Jane had adopted the author's name and persona, prompting the pornographic actress to change her stage name to Noname Jane, in response to an injunction in the case.
