Jane Hamilton (born 1956 or 1957[1]) is an American film director and former pornographic film actress who performed under the stage name Veronica Hart.[1][2][3] Described by columnist Frank Rich as "a leading porn star of the late '70s and early '80s",[1] Hart is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.[4][5] Director Paul Thomas Anderson has called her "the Meryl Streep of porn."[6]
Early life and education
Hart was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada.[7] She graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1976[3] with a bachelor's degree in theater arts.[8] After school she worked in England before returning to the United States and moving to New York City.[7]
Career
Hart began appearing in pornographic films in the 1970s, becoming a major star by the 1980s.[1][8] According to film scholar Chuck Kleinhans, she portrayed the "stylish 'native New Yorker'" type.[9] She is best known for her performances in Amanda by Night, Wanda Whips Wall Street, Roommates and A Scent of Heather.[7] She left the adult film industry in 1982, eventually returning as a producer and director.[1]
Around 1984, Hart began directing segments on the Playboy TV series Electric Blue, appearing in B movies and working as a stripper to support her family.[1] After retiring from performing in pornographic films, Hart became an executive at film distributor VCA Pictures.[1] For VCA, Hart directed a series of comeback features for friend and fellow pornographic film actress Ginger Lynn.[2] With the sale of VCA to Hustler Video in 2003, and the direction of the company moving from feature, storyline-driven films to gonzo, she left the company when her existing contract expired.[10] Afterwards, Hart moved on to other work, including working as a tour guide at the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas.[11]
Hart has acted in off-Broadway theater productions such as The House of Bernarda Alba,[3] A Thurber Carnival,[3] The Dyke And The Porn Star,[12][13] and The Deep Throat Sex Scandal.[14][15]
She has also made appearances in non-pornographic films. She played "Telephone Trixie" in Ruby[16] and a judge in the film Boogie Nights (1997), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.[3] She appeared as a fictionalized version of herself in the sci-fi/horror comedy film One-Eyed Monster (2008), directed by Adam Fields.
As of 2014 Hart had become a sex educator in China. An article in AVN magazine stated that she has been instructing women through an arrangement with a chain of adult retail stores and clubs called Sediva Maison.[11]
Personal life
Hart has two sons who attended magnet schools for highly gifted students.[17]
