Born around 1967, Selena Steel (she has an older brother and sister) grew up in a small town in Orange County, Southern California. She began nude modeling and stripping around 1990.

"I was an executive secretary and computer programmer," Steel told Richard Pacheco in an interview published in the May, 2001 issue of Batteries Not Included (BNI@aol.com). "Once, when I was reading the paper, I saw an ad for centerfolds. So, I called Mike Rick, who was an agent then, and went for an interview. He sent me out on my first job... I had to dress up in lacy panties and put pigtails in my hair and then they photographed me in kind of this nude layout on a trampoline for some kind of masturbation magazine.

"I was bored. I always dated very conservative men. I was about 23 and I felt that life was passing me by...

"My father is an alcoholic. He used to tell me how ugly I was, unattractive and stupid. I thought, 'Well, I'll show him.' I got in the magazines and it built back my confidence. It was like proving to myself that I could do it. I wasn't ugly like he told me I was.

"I went to therapy for three years and my relationship with him improved.

"I also dated a guy for six years who told me that he'd never marry someone who took their clothes off for a magazine. As soon as I broke up with him, I started doing it [nude modeling].

"I like a man who has power. The guy I dated for six years owned a very, very large insurance company nationwide and all through Europe. He was worth about $72 million.

"I always seek powerful men. I've dated over sixteen millionaires."

After getting a breast enlargement, Selena did a couple of photo layouts for Hustler which led to her entry into hardcore.

"When the Hustler layout came out, some people that I went to high school with sent me a Bible. They made these phone calls to me that forced me to have my number changed.

"I was at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. I went to the Cinderella party and I was approached. A long time ago, I told myself I would never do movies. I had to draw the line somewhere and that was my life. But I decided, 'Well, I'll do one and see what it's like.'

Steele debuted in a movie for John Leslie in a scene with Joey Silvera.

In her second scene, Selena did Marc Wallice. "I wasn't attracted to Marc. There isn't any chemistry. I didn't find him to be a warm person. Joey was warm.

"I didn't like it [her scene with Wallice]. I pretended he was Joey Silvera. Mark just was a total turn-off to me. We had bad chemistry."

Selena lost her lesbian virginity to a fellow nude model.
