Janine Marie Lindemulder (also known as Janine Marie James and often credited simply as "Janine") was born in La Mirada, California. After graduating from high school in 1986, Lindemulder supplemented her income by working as a stripper. In 1987, she modeled for Penthouse magazine, making her first appearance in the December 1987 issue, as the Pet of the Month. She appeared several more times in Penthouse over the next ten years, and was chosen as Pet of the Year Runner-Up for 1990. Janine attempted to take roles in mainstream films early in her career. Her first role came in the 1988 Italian film known as Moving Target in English-speaking countries; Janine was credited as Janine Linde. She went on to act in other mainstream films including Spring Break USA and Caged Fury, although neither was very successful. Her appearance in Penthouse led to a role in a video released by that company titled Penthouse Satin & Lace that featured various models from the magazine. This eventually led to her debut in the adult film industry. Lindemulder made her adult film debut in the 1992 movie Andrew Blake´s Hidden Obsessions. She was featured in two more adult movies before joining Vivid Video and becoming one of their contract girls. Janine worked under a girl-only policy. Her first film with Vivid was titled Parlor Games and she would go on to be featured in over fifty other titles through her run with the company. She also formed half of the exotic dancing duo Blondage, along with Julia Ann, and the duo headlined several videos for Vivid. Janine received a part on the Howard Stern film Private Parts as the wife of a camp director. Lindemulder was the cover model for Blink-182's album Enema of the State and appeared in their video for the song "What's My Age Again?" as a nurse. She has appeared in several other music videos as well. In 1999, Janine announced she was leaving the adult film industry to pursue a career as a kindergarten teacher and focus on raising her child. Her retirement lasted until April 2004 when she announced that she would be making a comeback and working with men as well as women. She signed with her former company, Vivid Video, and starred in eight films under their brand. Her first film scene with a male was with Nick Manning in the film Maneater. In November 2005, Lindemulder announced on her official website's forum that she was once again retiring from adult films but in January 2006 she won two AVN Awards and subsequently returned to the adult film industry. Lindemulder was married to a former construction worker from 1988 to 1996. They had a son named Tyler in 1991. Lindemulder re-married in 2002, to West Coast Choppers founder Jesse G. James. Their marriage was documented in the Discovery Channel special Motorcycle Mania 3. The presentation showed a wide range of their relationship: from the marriage ceremony, to Lindemulder throwing a vase at James and being arrested for abuse. James left in 2003, while Lindemulder was seven months pregnant, for actress Sandra Bullock whom he later married; Lindemulder and James later divorced. In August 2008, Lindemulder pled guilty to federal charges of willful failure to pay federal income taxes. In December 2008, Lindemulder was sentenced to six months in federal prison. The sentencing judge ordered that she live in a residential community corrections center for up to six months after her release from prison, and, one year of supervised release after that. She was also ordered to pay the estimated $294,000 owed to the U.S. government. She is currently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution at Victorville, near Adelanto, California, and is scheduled for release on September 8, 2009.
