Ashley grew up on a farm in England. As a child she spent much time with the horses on the farm, and still has a love of these animals to this day. She competed in riding when young. After doing various farm jobs as she grew up, she spent some time working as a forklift driver in a warehouse, as well as selling Cristal bottles as a waitress at the famous London club Stringfellows.
Her father is said to be delighted at his daughter's choice in career.
When she was 20, Ashley saw an advertisement in a local newspaper for topless, nude, and fashion models and decided to give it a try.
After some amateur work, she began sending pictures to agencies. This led to her first porn movie with Ben Dover, an experience she found very nerve racking but ultimately enjoyable. More work followed, and to date she has appeared in more than 280 films.
Upon her arrival in the United States, she was soon featured in many interracial, gonzo porn videos, where she would engage in group anal sex.
