Who is Stormy Daniels?
By Priscilla DeGregory
Stormy Daniels -- whose real name is Stephanie Clifford -- is an adult film actress who got into the business when she was just 23, she testified Tuesday.
Daniels, 45, -- who has had a long-time career in the porn business -- has also made appearances in popular mainstream films like "40-Year-Old Virgin," "Superbad" and "Knocked up," she told jurors.
She first got into exotic dancing in Louisiana at 21 when a friend invited her to watch her dance, and Stormy, believing she meant ballet dancing or something similar, attended only to discover the pal was an exotic dancer.
Daniels then moved to Los Angeles to make porn films in which she acted, directed and wrote, according to CNN. She was inducted into the Adult video News Hall of Fame in 2014, the outlet reported.
Daniels is a key witness against Donald Trump as she claims the former prez had her paid off with $130,000 to keep her from going public in the run-up to the 2016 election about her claims she had a one-night stand with a married Trump in 2006.
