Lezley Zen is an adult actress hailing from Charleston, South Carolina. Before embarking on a career in the adult entertainment industry, Zen already had a career as a restaurant manager. She managed a Westin Hotel restaurant and Italian Trattoria in South Carolina. After divorcing her first husband she began competing in bikini and wet t-shirt contests. She eventually met her future fiance, Trevor Zen (then a personal trainer), and began working with him. Through contacts made in the various contests she entered, she set up a meeting with Brad Armstrong and Jonathan Morgan of Wicked Pictures. Her first adult film was Wicked's Serenity's Roman Orgy in 2001. She has stated in interviews that she originally became a porn star to both pay off debts she had accumulated from her divorce and to "spite" her fiancé, who began appearing in pornographic movies at the same time she did. The two also appeared in scenes together in several movies. Zen was represented by herself and appeared in various soft core movies for Playboy TV, HBO, Cinemax and Showtime.
