Veronica Hart (born Jane Esther Hamilton ✦October 27 1956 in Las Vegas, Nevada) is a former American pornographic actress and current porn director who performed under the name Veronica Hart during the 1980s. She is sometimes credited as Jane Esther Hamilton, Jane Hamilton, V. Hart, Veronica Heart, Victoria Holt, Kathryn Stanleigh, Randee Styles, or just Veronica. Hart is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.
Hamilton graduated from the UNLV - University of Nevada at Las Vegas in 1979 with a degree in theatre. After graduation, she spent time in England and pursued mainstream careers in both modeling and acting.
It was after an unfortunate accident with a coffee urn, which scarred one side of her body, that she decided to make adult movies; beginning in 1980 and continuing actively until 1984. Veronica Hart is best known for her performances in Amanda by Night, Roommates and A Scent of Heather. Today, she directs, edits and produces adult films, while making occasional (non-sexual) cameos in both mainstream and adult productions.
Events in her life were the inspiration for the custodial problems of character Amber Waves in Boogie Nights (1997), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Veronica went on to play a judge in "Boogie Nights", appearing in the scene where Amber and her husband are arguing in court about their son. Veronica would later appear in another Paul Thomas Anderson movie "Magnolia".
