- Fetching and slender 5'4" blonde Laurel Canyon was born on August 13, 1964 in Pomona, California. Laurel grew up as an only child in Upland, California. Canyon was a cheerleader and student council member as well as made the dean's honor list while in high school. Laurel was living in Ventura County when she came across a newspaper ad for nude modeling that she decided to answer. After meeting esteemed porn industry agent Jim South, Canyon went on to launch a career in hardcore movies in late 1986. Among the notable companies that Laurel appeared in X-rated features for are Vivid, Vidco, Odyssey, Evil Angel, Coast To Coast, CDI Home Video, Filmco Releasing, Arrow Productions, and Moonlight Entertainment. Her hobbies include shopping, roller skating, horseback riding, getting or giving massages, riding on roller coasters, and going to either the beach or art galleries. Canyon has since retired from the adult entertainment industry.- IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders

- Took a hiatus from porn in the mid-1990's. During this time Canyon worked in interior design, property management, and even as a cocktail waitress.
- [on the porn industry] I like the business. I wish there was more cinematography, better sets, and stuff like that. Locations, bigger shoots, or an episode piece, but I love the business.
- I'm not that into anal. I will do it once in a while, but I have to be in the mood. I'm very particular, I don't want to be doing it all the time. Facials? No problem, bring it on. Interracial. Same thing.
- [on her career goals] Basically to be an actress, but also to start writing and learning some of the behind the camera stuff. I love to pose people. Also set design, because I did a lot of interior design. I love the whole process.
- I love fine wining and dining, shopping, art galleries. I love roller skating and I adore roller coasters. I could just go to Magic Mountain and hang out on a roller coaster all day. I love pets, totally into pets, horseback riding. I love fast cars, the beach, lingerie, flowers.
- I love rock and roll, disco, reggae, jazz, classical, it depends on my mood. What I really look for is a sexy undertow because it makes me feel good. I don't really like sad songs, not all that into love songs. At least not when I'm not in love.
