Alisha Klass (born January 3, 1972) is a former American pornographic actress.

Career

Klass began starring in pornographic movies around 1997, becoming the best known collaborator with director Seymore Butts, aka Adam Glasser, to whom she was once engaged.[2][3] Klass had a tattoo on her rear reading "Seymore Butts." However, following an acrimonious break up in 2000 she has since had it covered with a dolphin.[4] Tampa Tushy Fest, Part 1, a 1998 video featuring Klass in a lesbian fisting scene with Chloe Nicole, resulted in Glasser being charged with obscenity.[4] Glasser pleaded public nuisance charge as part of an agreement with the Los Angeles city attorney's office on March 20, 2002. He also paid a fine of $1,000.[5]

Other ventures

Klass has worked as a host on the Playboy television show, Inside Adult,[6] and wrote a column for Club Confidential magazine.[6]

Appearances

Klass had a brief cameo as a cheerleader in the movie Cruel Intentions in 1999.[7] She appeared briefly as a dancer in the 2001 independent film The Center of the World.[6][8] Klass has also made appearances on the Howard Stern Show, both television and radio, as well as various documentaries about the adult industry as herself including Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy in 2001.[9]
