- Joanna Storm was born in San Diego, California. Storm was initially raised by foster parents who adopted her when she was four days old. Joanna's adoptive mother died when she was only five years old while her adoptive father was a former bootlegger who entered the military at age fifteen and served in the Navy for twenty years as well as worked as both a detective and a bodyguard for the mafia. Joanna grew up as a tomboy who enjoyed doing such things as bicycling, riding horses, and roller-skating. Moreover, Storm grew up in a variety of different families throughout her tumultuous childhood. Joanna left home at age thirteen and spent the bulk of her teenage years growing up on the streets. During this time Storm also made angel dust, sold marijuana to sailors on the pier, and even transported machine guns across the Mexican border. Joana married a seventeen-year-old man at age fifteen. After her husband got arrested and sent to prison, Storm went off to Cody, Wyoming and got a job as a bartender prior to moving again to Texas where she worked at a bar called The Water Hole.
Joanna eventually moved a third time to Houston, Texas and got a job at a bar where she first started dancing. Storm not only worked the dance circuit in such states as Texas, Alaska, and Washington, but also was briefly involved with a nude magic act in Las Vegas, Nevada. Joanna eventually returned to San Diego in the early 1980's and became involved with the adult film industry after a San Diego club owner set her up for a porn movie audition in Los Angeles. Storm went on to perform in explicit X-rated features and posed for assorted men's magazine layouts. Moreover, Joanna moved to New York where she worked as a feature dancer on 42nd Street as well as continued to perform in hardcore films. In the wake of retiring from porn circa 1987, Storm moved to New Mexico and worked as a substitute teacher at a public school and a graveyard shift gig loading newspapers onto trucks as well as sold mobile homes and life insurance before resuming her previous career as a feature dancer once again and making a short-lived comeback in the porn industry in the late 2000's. Joanna has since retired from the porn industry and now lives in an artistic community. Storm also has three daughters and a grandson.- IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders & Ashley West - The Rialto Report

- When I do something, I go all the way. There's no holding back on anything.
- My view of sex has always been that it's a very natural part of life. That's what humans do. That's what animals do. Why be so ashamed of it? I also believe that it's important for men to have a sexual release. Men have to have a way to release because if they don't ejaculate they get blue balls. It's a process that has to happen for the male. If they don't have that, then you know, that's when children get abused.
- Sex is a whole different thing in Europe. They look at nudity as art, rather than being dirty or nasty or in the closest. It's totally different. When I took my top off there, people applauded.
- No regrets, no sorrows baby. My life was so extreme ... It's very hard for a normal family person to even relate to. Some of it was very rough. Lies and death and rape, and all that crazy shit. But I'm still alive.
- [on whether she ever felt dirty about being in porn movies] No. I never felt dirty. I liked it. In fact, when I walked down Broadway and saw my name in lights at three different theaters, it was like being a movie star. The only difference was that I took my clothes off and I actually had intercourse on film. And the premieres were fun, too. I walked the red carpet and I was always in limousines. So no, I didn't feel dirty.
