Biography
Leanni Lei was born in the Philippines, but her family moved to the United States when she was quite young. She grew up in Irvine, California, where she was a cheerleader and member of the honor society in high school. Her father was in the military and her mother worked as a restaurant manager. During her last year in high school, her parents divorced, and she became rebellious, smoking marijuana, and being expelled from the cheerleader squad.
Lei went to college for a year and a half (including a semester at the University of California, Irvine, then quit to go into exotic dancing on the east coast to earn money. She moved to Connecticut in 1993. Leanni became a pornographic actress partly due to her admiration for porn star Mimi Miyagi. Her first movie was filmed for Ed Powers in October 1997, who was also Miyagi's first director. Leanni returned to college, and continued living and going to college in Connecticut (majoring in finance with a minor in accounting), while appearing in pornography in California.

Mimi Miyagi helped her set up her web site.
