Lauren started out in porn appearing on box-covers for films that she was not in. Later, before deciding on going all the way on film, she would often make brief appearances in non-sexual roles, but would still front the film's cover nonetheless. Lauren was the Penthouse Pet of the Month in July 1995, and has been a contract performer with Vivid Entertainment. She was the first to appear as a single guest on Playboy TV's The Helmetcam Show. This appearance was broadcast live on August 21, 1996.
