Gauge
Gauge was born in Arkansas in 1980. She originally got into the adult-film business in 2000 to help pay her way through school. At the beginning of her career she worked mostly with her fiancé, Mojo, in "amateur" porn, then made several appearances in Ed Powers' "Dirty Debutantes" pro/am series before going into "mainstream" porn. They broke up in 2001, but still appeared together professionally. After having appeared in about 140 movies, Gauge left the pornographic film industry in 2005 due to a contract dispute with her management company.
She almost died of alcohol poisoning in an Arkansas strip club in April of 2005. Her blood alcohol level was reported at being 0.4--far above .08, which is legally considered as being intoxicated.
