Education
White graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2010[5] with a first-class honours degree in gender studies.[2] There she researched women's experiences in the Australian pornography industry. She said in 2014 that she would like to go back to university to complete her Ph.D. and expand her studies to include a broader cross-section of performers.[6] White's honours thesis, "The Porn Performer: The Radical Potential of Pleasure in Pornography", was published in The Routledge Companion to Media, Sex and Sexuality in 2017.[3]
Pornography career
Angela White (her real name[7]) began her career in the adult industry in 2003.[8] Her first scene was shot by Score just after she turned 18 years old.[8]
In 2007, White was named Score's Voluptuous Model of the Year.
White made her first boy/girl scene in 2011 for the DVD Angela White Finally Fucks.[8]
In November 2013, White launched her official website, angelawhite.com.[9] Later that month, White and Jessa Rhodes were named Official Trophy Girls for the 2014 XBIZ Awards.[10]
In October 2014, White signed a distribution deal with Girlfriends Films to release films. Her first film, Angela, featured her first anal, interracial anal, double penetration (DP), and all-anal threesome.[11] In the same month, Fleshlight, makers of a masturbation tool for men, named White their newest Fleshlight Girl.[12] She is the first Australian to be named a Fleshlight Girl.[13]
In September 2015, White was interviewed by XBIZ about the making of Angela 2, which featured her first all-girl threesome, blowbang, airtight and gangbang.[14]
In September 2016, in an interview with XBIZ, White said she had moved to the United States and signed with Spiegler Girls to shoot for companies like Brazzers, Naughty America, and Jules Jordan.[15]
XBIZ.com has called her "Australia's most well-known adult performer".[10] The Daily Beast has called her "The Meryl Streep of Porn."[4]
In January 2018, White co-hosted the 35th annual AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, alongside comedian Aries Spears and webcam star Harli Lotts.[16]
Webcam modeling
White has done regular work as a webcam model.[17]
In an interview with Adult Video News in January 2014, White discussed how she enjoyed connecting with fans through webcam and stated she didn't see a time when she would stop doing it. She said she felt the adult industry would move more toward live shows to get around the issues associated with piracy.[8]
Awards
White was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2018.[16] White won the AVN Female Performer of the Year award in 2018 and 2019, being only the second woman to do so.[4] In 2020, she won the award for the third year in a row, as well as AVN Award for Best Leading Actress,[1] becoming the first person to win Female Performer of the Year in three consecutive years.[4]
Appearances in other media
In 2007, White made her television debut on the Australian comedy series Pizza.[18]
In September 2013, White appeared on the SBS 2 Australian news program The Feed.[19]
In November 2013, White appeared in the ABC 2 documentary The Vagina Diaries.[20]
In May 2015, White was the subject of the PLGRM short documentary The Porn Identity.[21]
In 2019, a clip of hers was featured in the pilot of the HBO comedy miniseries Mrs. Fletcher.[22]
Political activities
In 2010, White ran as a political candidate for the Australian Sex Party in the 2010 Victorian state election, winning 2.9 per cent of the vote.[5] White ran to advocate for sex workers' rights,[7] specifically to oppose Australian Green Party candidate Kathleen Maltzahn, who advocated banning brothels.[5] "My angle wasn’t necessarily to win. I wanted to make sure that [Maltzahn] didn’t win", she said.[7] During the election, White sent copies of her DVDs to state attorney general Rob Hulls in her bid to reduce regulations for X-rated films.[23]
In 2013, White and fellow Australian Sex Party candidate Zahra Stardust became the first political candidates to film a pornographic scene together.[24]
