Hannah Harper is an English
pornographic actress and director

Harper grew up in Brixham, a fishing town in Devon where her parents worked in local holiday camps. She describes herself as a "real goody-goody" at school, and studied Theatre, Media, Dance and Psychology at 'A' level at South Devon College
. Her first job was at a local fish-and-chips shop, then in a hotel as a receptionist, barmaid and waitress.
In 2001 Harper started modeling in London
at her then-husband's suggestion. She moved to Los Angeles
the following year for photo shoots before relocating there. Harper appeared in a few amateur porn videos, her first being with TM Video Productions, before working with Ben Dover
in her first professional movie. She signed exclusive contracts with Legend Entertainment and Sin City Video. She was also involved in the day-to-day operations of the LA Direct Models
agency alongside her boyfriend Ben English, until they broke up in mid-2004.
Harper has appeared in High Society
magazine and Club International magazine several times. In addition, she was the April 2002 Penthouse Pet of the Month, Aziani girl feature, and Hustler's
May 2002 covergirl and centerfold.
Harper began working as a feature dancer on the strip club circuit and even got some costumes from Flick Shagwell
, who had retired from dancing. She has expressed misgivings about the work, saying "I knew I couldn't dance . . . I have no sense of rhythm."
In late 2006 Harper announced that she and Sin City were parting ways and she was looking to shoot more softcore material while pursuing a college degree in psychology
. To this end she has become a cast member in the Cinemax series "Co-Ed Confidential
as "Ophelia", and she played "Christy" alongside Nikki Nova
in the Digital Entertainment production "Busty Cops 2."
Harper has mentioned that she was married at one time, but has since divorced. During the time she was dating Ben English she was also in a steady relationship with Mary Carey, which English and Carey helped set up.
Her unofficial web site xxxhannahharper.com was operated by her former production company as a part of her original contract, and she no longer has regular interaction with that site.
