Taylor Hayes, born Kimberly Taylor Hayes on January 14, 1975, in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, grew up as the child of a single alcoholic mother in suburban Detroit before her mother remarried and moved to Dallas, Texas. She was involved in dance and cheerleading during high school and has admitted to being "boy crazy" and giving her first blowjob at age 12 and being sexually active from that age on. Following graduation from Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas, Taylor began her career in the adult entertainment industry as an exotic dancer at the Cabaret Royale strip club in Dallas, Texas. Hayes was featured in Penthouse magazine after winning a local talent search contest in 1994. Taylor subsequently moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she continued dancing in clubs and posing for nude photos as well as lived with several people in the porn industry and even had a quick fling with the infamous John Wayne Bobbitt. Hayes then moved to Los Angeles, California in 1995 to further pursue her career in porn. She took her pseudonym from Taylor Hayes, the fictional character played by Hunter Tylo on The Bold and the Beautiful, an American soap of which a teenage Hayes was an enthusiastic devotee and bore a resemblance to. Known for her brunette hair, brown eyes, and 5’6”, 110-pound frame with 34D-23-36 measurements (enhanced by breast augmentation and lip injections), she appeared in over 150 films. She worked primarily with VCA Pictures, Vivid Entertainment, where she was a contract performer from 1997 to 2002, as well as studios like Wicked Pictures and Adam & Eve.
