Laurie Wallace was born on August 25, 1975 in Baltimore, Maryland. Laurie moved with her family to Augsburg, Germany when she was thirteen. While living in Augsburg she attended high school, where she was a cheerleader and captain of the dance team as well as a member of both the drama club and student council. Wallace graduated summa cum laude with a double major in German and political science from Loyola College in Maryland. Laurie went on to attend law school at George Washington University for a year and did an intern stint on K Street. She decided to drop out of law school after a modeling agency made her an offer to move to Miami, Florida. After working in Miami for a year, Wallace went to New York and spent three years there acting and modeling.

Laurie also appeared in national TV commercials, graced the covers of over three hundred romance novels, and was featured in such magazines as Maxim, FM, High Times, GQ, and Men's Health. Wallace posed for Playboy's Real Sex 2 issue in April, 1999; she went on to appear in Playboy twenty additional times mostly in various newsstand special editions. She made the leap to more explicit hardcore pornographic films in 2002 and continued to work in adult pictures up until her retirement in 2009, only ever shooting solo or girl/girl scenes.
