Alisha Klass, born January 17, 1972, in Chino, California, is a retired American adult film actress, model, and director. Raised by her grandparents after her father killed her mother and then himself when she was 2, she moved to Las Vegas to work as a stripper at The Olympic Gardens and prostitute after graduating high school. At her club, she met porn legend Ron Jeremy and asked him to introduce her to director Seymour Butts, aka Adam Glasser, whom she said she was infatuated with. She entered the adult industry in 1997 at age 25, debuting in Behind the Scenes 2 for Odyssey Group Video, per IMDb and IAFD. Known for her 5’5” height, 110-pound frame, brown hair, brown eyes, and 34C-24-34 measurements, she had a rose tattoo on her left hip and was recognized for her intense performances, particularly in anal and squirting scenes, per Boobpedia. AVN said Klass represented a new breed of stars in the late 90s and early 00s that very much focused on the "circus acts" they performed, which include DP, Triple Penetration, fisting, fisting anal, double fisting anal, etc. She appeared in over 190 films, including Tampa Tushy Fest 1 (1999, AVN Best All-Girl Sex Scene—Video with Chloe Nicole), The Awakening (1998), The Dresden Diary 19 (1998), and Seymore Butts’ Behind the Sphinc Door (1999), working with studios like Vivid, Elegant Angel, and Seymore Butts, per IAFD. Openly bisexual, she starred in both girl/girl and boy/girl scenes, often with frequent collaborators like Seymore Butts, with whom she was in a relationship from 1997 to 2000, per Wikipedia. Klass directed films like Seymore Butts’ Female Ejaculation: A Complete Guide (1999) and hosted Inside Adult on KSEX radio, per AVN. Her mainstream appearances include The Center of the World (2001, as a stripper), Cruel Intentions 2 (2000, uncredited), and an episode of The Man Show (2001), per IMDb. She won the 1999 AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene—Video (Tushy Girls Live) and was nominated for Female Performer of the Year (1999), per AVN. Klass faced controversy for her explicit squirting and fisting scenes in Tampa Tushy Fest 1 with Chole Nicole, which some distributors deemed too extreme, causing delays in release, per EverybodyWiki. Both Glasser and Klass were charged with obsenity, but the charges were later dropped. Klass began a relationship with Adam Glasser aka Seymour Butts, before she shot her first scene and appeared in many of his movies. She claimed to be so in love with the director that she got his stage name, "Seymour Butts" tattooed on her body. Her enthusiasm for sex brought her a great deal of attention, and in 1999 she won the Adult Video News award for Best New Starlet. Klass`s relationship with Glasser also led to many public fights with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Hayes , who was also the mother of Glasser`s son. In 2000, Glasser and Klass separated and began a very public quarrel that continued for years, with both hurling accusations against each other in the press. It was during this time that Klass stopped appearing in adult films. Klass had her "Seymore Butts" tattoo changed into a dolphin. Fans praised her as “The Anal Queen of the 90s,” noting her Tushy Girls performance (comment: “Alisha had an ass that wouldn`t quit,” user: retrofan72). A 2024 X post called her “a legend in Tampa Tushy Fest” (@RetroPornFan). AVN (1999) described her as “one of the new breed of adult stars who push things to the limit.” The Rialto Report lauded her “her persona overshadowed that she was a good actress when given decent material and was as beautiful as any star in her era,” cementing her as a significant figure in the 1990s and very early 2000s adult cinema. Retiring in 2000, she briefly returned in 2009 for web content but has since focused on non-adult ventures, including a jewelry line, per Boobpedia. In 2001, on the Howard Stern Radio Show, she confirmed a tabloid story that she had been dating actor Bruce Willis after his breakup with wife Demi Moore . She said Willis broke up with her as soon as their relationship began appearing in the tabloids. As of August 14, 2025, Klass, now 53, lives privately, with her work preserved in 1990s–2000s adult film archives. Award Wins & Honors: Alisha Klass 1998 – ?
