AVN Hall of Famer Jenna Jameson became the first adult star to be immortalized in wax yesterday, at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
Jameson, a Las Vegas native, unveiled her life-sized wax figure during a special ceremony at Madame Tussauds on the Las Vegas Strip. The partially nude, interactive figure portrays Jameson kneeling on a bearskin rug and displays all of her tattoos. She also wears her original “Jenna” black leather belt with her name in rhinestones.
“This is an awesome honor,” Jameson said after the unveiling, “especially since I’m making history as the first personality from the adult world to have an attraction at Madame Tussauds and it is happening in Las Vegas, my hometown.
“I was so excited when asked to be part of Tussuads’ incredible collection and even more excited when I got to see my figure… it looks so real.”
Like all Madame Tussauds interactive figures, visitors can pose for photographs with Jameson and when you tickle her tattoo on her right ankle, she whispers a personal message. Her attraction is displayed next to the wax attraction of Playboy Publishing founder Hugh Hefner, with whom she shares the same birth date, April 9.
Jameson’s company, ClubJenna, Inc., was recently acquired by Playboy Enterprises.
“The adult entertainment business has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Jenna is widely recognized for taking the adult genre into the mainstream media. It is that fame we are honoring today,” said Adrian Jones, general manager of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
Madame Tussauds is an international wax attraction that offers the public the opportunity to “interact” with famous people. Madame Tussauds operates museums in London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Shanghai, New York and at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas is open seven days a week. For attraction hours, call (702) 862-7800.
