Alana and her husband eventually became part owners of their favorite club, which is where she says she lost her remaining inhibitions. She became a stripper and pole dancer and began considering modelling work. Due to an appendix scar she thought that she would not get magazine work, and therefore went into the porn industry as a result at age 21. Her first scene was in Real Sex Magazine 11.
A year and a half into her porn career, Alana boasted that her marriage was successful because "I think the key is to be in the marriage before you get into porn." Shortly thereafter, her marriage ended when she was 23. She soon entered into a relationship with fellow pornstar Chris Evans, however, again having an open relationship. After six years together, on November 30, 2005 she announced they were engaged to be married. Alana and Chris Evans married in 2006 in Santa Monica, California.
To date Alana has starred in over 200 films, including numerous Playboy TV projects and 30 softcore movies. She signed an exclusive contract with SMASH Pictures in late 2005. She also hosted a segment on KSEXradio called All in the Porn Family until June 2005 as well as hosting a show for Playboy Radio called Private Calls, which airs on the Sirius Satellite Radio Network.
Never fully satisfied with her bosom size, Alana vacillated between the idea of surgical enhancement, and accepting her image as a natural starlet. At one point she declared "they are going to stay real... I don't want plastic in my body." But by 2005 she had swung back in the direction of cosmetic surgery, and even asked fans to contribute to an online fund (in exchange for personalized items) via the website BoobGrant.com to help pay for it. On June 7, 2005 Alana had breast enlargement surgery and went from a B cup to a D cup.
Alana currently travels as a feature dancer and is represented by the adult entertainment industry talent agency Gold Star Modelling. Earlier in her career she was briefly represented by Exotic Star Models. She is also a model and spokeswoman for the Southern California-based clothing company MofoWear
