Sunny Leone is a stunning brunette model and the 2003 Penthouse Pet of the Year. Ms. Leone is the first performer of Indian descent (her parents were born in the Indian state of Punjab) to become a Vivid Girl. Her first movie, Sunny, was released in 2005.

The Canadian-born Ms. Leone moved to the United States as a teenager and has been doing adult modeling since 2001. After exclusively shooting with girls for the early part of her career, Ms. Leone began performing with men in 2007. Her first boy/girl title, Sunny Loves Matt, featured her paired with Matt Erikson.

In 2008, Ms. Leone announced the formation of her own studio, SunLust Pictures, which is distributed by Vivid. Her first release, Dark Side of the Sun, hit the streets in March of 2009.

It is unusual for a woman of Indian background to enter the adult field and Ms. Leone's choice of profession has intrigued mainstream media. She has been interviewed by Jane magazine about being Indian and in the adult business, which she entered at age 18. She has done extensive media work as Penthouse Pet of the Year, worked as an interviewer on E!'s Wild On, introduced other adult industry performers in a VH1 program and was a red carpet reporter for the "After Dark" program coverage of the Sundance Film Festival, among other TV appearances.

As a young girl, Sunny was very athletic and played street hockey with the boys. She plays on a women's soccer league team in California whenever she has a moment. Sunny also likes to ride horseback English style and is a fan of opera, rap music and both Italian and Indian food.
