Sasha Grey finished her first year in the adult film industry being $200,000 richer along with an award from the X-Rated Critics’ Organization for Best New Starlet. As her career developed, she was chosen Penthouse magazine Pet of The Month for July 2007 and was photographed by fashion photographer Terry Richardson. She was the youngest person to win the AVN “Female Performer of the Year” award, and she achieved it with her willingness to look at the camera and “connect” with viewers, always ready to express her sexuality on camera and to do anything to please the fans.

Sasha appeared on The Tyra Banks Show in 2007, discussing teenagers in the sex industry, but there was speculation that the show was heavily manipulated through editing and did not include her defense of pornography as a career choice. Next year she was profiled in the Rolling Stone “Hot Issue” for the December 2008 edition. In 2011, she was named by CNBC as one of the 12 most popular stars in porn, and although she isn’t in porn anymore, her movies are still wanted, and several companies continue to release compilations including her scenes.
