Rachel Mari Oberlin, also known by her stage nameBree Olson, is an American actress, model, and former pornographic actress. She performed in over 281 pornographic films from 2006 to 2011 before changing to mainstream acting. Since leaving the adult film industry, she has become critical of the industry and the stigma attached to being a former porn actress.
Personal life
Olson was born in Houston, Texas. Olson's maternal grandparents were Ukrainians who immigrated to Texas, then Fort Wayne, Indiana, when she was two years old. On March 1, 2011, Olson was reported to be living with actor Charlie Sheen. The relationship ended in April 2011. On March 24, 2016, writing as a guest columnist in Daily Dot, she related her post-porn social life, stating, "porn didn't hurt me. The way society treats me for having done it does". In the same article, she said she was "broke". This article was later followed by her March 25 appearance in the YouTube documentary series "Real Women, Real Stories", in which she repeated these statements, adding that she believes society in general perceives ex-porn stars in a highly negative manner, specifically as morally akin to pedophiles. She is also critical of the pornography industry, noting "We are the only entertainment industry that doesn't offer talent royalties after they are gone," but not of the profession itself. Olson currently lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana with her wife Kayla Banter.
Career
Olson entered the pornographic film industry in November 2006, and initially worked for a variety of companies such as Digital Playground, Elegant Angel, and Red Light District Video. She was a contract performer with Adam & Eve from 2007 to 2010. She has performed in over 280 pornographic movies. Olson was named PenthousePet of the Month for March 2008, appeared on the cover of Hustler, was on the cover of the May 2011 issue of Penthouse, and on the cover of the August 2011 Playboy magazine. In 2010, she was named by Maxim as one of the 12 top female stars in porn. In October 2011, Olson announced that she had retired from shooting pornography, and that "she hasn't done an adult film in over a year."
Mainstream TV and cinema
In 2007, Olson appeared in an episode of the first season of E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, in which she is hired as a nanny but ostensibly gets fired on her first day at work after matriarchKris Jenner objects to her state of dress and behavior as "inappropriate." She later appeared in the independent comedy filmPurgatory Comics. Olson co-starred in the horror film The Human Centipede 3 and Penn Jillette and Adam Rifkin's Director's Cut. In 2015, she played Divatox in the short, web filmPower/Rangers. She has also done a series of videos for Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's website Funny or Die.
