Mia Malkova is an American pornographic actress, model, and online content creator who began performing in 2012. She won the AVN Award for Best New Starlet in 2014 and later became known for independent digital work and livestreaming.
Background
Mia Malkova was born Melissa Ann Hevner on July 1, 1992, in Palm Springs, California. Palm Springs is a desert resort city in Riverside County, in the Coachella Valley of Southern California.
She grew up in Palm Springs, and one biographical account describes her as shy during childhood. Her friend Natasha Malkova, whom she had known since second grade, later introduced her to the adult entertainment industry. Her brother, Justin Hunt, is a film actor.
She chose the name Mia Malkova for her professional work. In an interview she said she preferred a name that sounded more Russian and appealed to her in the way a European supermodel's name would. She has also performed under other names, including Mia Bliss, Madison Swan, Madison Clover, and Jessica.
Career
Before entering the adult industry, Mia Malkova worked in food service, first at McDonald's, a fast-food chain that began in California in 1940, and later at Sizzler, a steakhouse restaurant chain that also originated in California.
She entered professional performing in 2012 at the age of 19, with encouragement from Natasha Malkova. She was represented by the agency Matrix Models, and she appeared in feature films for a number of adult production companies. Her performing career is generally dated from 2012 to 2021.
Her early recognition came from Twistys, an adult studio that produces the Twistys.com website. Since 2005 the site has featured a Treat of the Month, and since 2009 members have voted for a Treat of the Year from among those featured. Malkova was named Treat of the Month in December 2012 and Treat of the Year for 2013.
In 2014 she won the AVN Award for Best New Starlet at the 31st AVN Awards, which honored adult productions of 2013. The AVN Awards are presented annually at a gala in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2017 she received the XBIZ Award for Best Actress for her starring role in The Preacher's Daughter.
In 2019 she won the AVN Award for Best Group Sex Scene for the film After Dark, and she co-hosted the 39th AVN Awards with Mighty Emelia. In later years she moved away from traditional studio work toward independent digital content and livestreaming on Twitch, and she has been described as an online content creator since 2022.
