P.J. Sparxx is a former adult actress born Laura Brown on February 11, 1969 in Colorado. Sparxx first began performing in explicit hardcore movies in her early twenties in 1990. Although initially known for doing heterosexual sex scenes, P.J. eventually began to insist that her male partners use condoms in order to avoid contracting AIDS and switched to mostly lesbian scenes instead later in her career. Sparxx also worked as a stripper at the height of her pornographic career; she and fellow adult film starlet Jill Kelly performed together on stage as a duo called Fire and Ice. P.J. was the First Runner-Up for the Miss Nude World contest in 1999 and retired from the adult film industry that same year. She was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2002.
