She graduated one year ahead of time and attended Sacramento City College in late 2005 and took lessons in film, dance, and acting.

Sasha Grey’s Career
In May 2006, Sasha Gray moved to Los Angeles, California, and starred in hardcore porn. She initially thought of calling herself Anna Karina, after the French New Wave actress of the same name, before choosing Sasha Gray.
The name “Sasha” was taken from Sascha Konietzko, from the band KMFDM, and “Gray” from Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray or, failing that, from the Kinsey scale, which measures homosexual and heterosexual attraction.
Sasha’s first scene was an orgy with Rocco Siffredi for Fashionistas Safado: The John Stagliano Challenge and he helped Gray quickly make a name for himself in the adult film industry after he asked Siffredi to punch him in the stomach. during the scene, an act that he later declared was improvised.
Less than six months after entering the adult industry, Gray appeared in the November 2006 issue of Los Angeles, where she was singled out as a potential big star, perhaps the next Jenna Jameson. In December 2006, Gray was interviewed on the syndicated entertainment industry news show, The Insider.
In January 2007, Gray was awarded the Best Three-Way Sex Scene in Fuck Slaves and the Best Party Scene in Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge at the 24th AVN Adult Movie Awards.
In February 2007, Gray appeared at The Tyra Banks Show, complaining about teens working in the sex industry. There was speculation that the program was heavily edited and did not include her defense of adult film as a career option. The program was often blamed for editing the interview in order to maximize its dramatic appeal.
In 2008, she became the youngest woman ever to receive the AVN Female Performer of the Year Award and also received the Best Oral Sex Scene Award for Babysitters at the 25th AVN Awards. Gray appeared in Dave Navarro’s film Broken, for which she received the AVN Best High-End All-Sex Film Award.
