In terms of becoming a notable adult star, you generally have to start out in the industry at an age of no older than about 23 or 24. Any older than that, and it's likely you're only going to find work in the amateur sector and that you generally won't get much attention from the biggest studios out there. So it's fair to say that Puma Swede must have something about her that distinguishes her from the rest, and that latecomers CAN prosper should they want to.

Little is known about her pre-porn life. In interviews she has been very guarded about many elements of her life back in Sweden prior to travelling to America in 2003 to work with a number of photographers in what were, initially, to be softcore modelling shoots. In fact, the only things that she has revealed are that she used to work in a tattoo parlour and that the Puma Swede name came from her favourite car and the fact that she's, erm, Swedish. Her real name did leak out but it's believed that she did not want this to happen, a case with most pornstars.

Standing at almost 6 feet tall, with luscious blonde locks and outstanding curves (aided to a certain extent by some breast augmentation), to say she's the classic Scandinavian beauty would be an understatement - she's almost the poster girl for such a look. It's also almost certain that this figure is the reason why Puma Swede could enter the industry comparatively late and within three years be regarded as one of its most established and reliable stars.

After a couple of years of photo shoots that mainly saw her performing alone, a move into movies saw her only performing lesbian content at the beginning. Appearances in the Lesbian Triangles and Women Seeking Women series, both established and popular girl-on-girl series, suggested that the upper echelons of the industry were keeping tabs on her. Sensing an opportunity to rise quickly in the industry, Puma Swede quickly began accepting offers to star in hardcore films. 2005 finished with her starring in her first movie for Vivid just months after entering the industry.

Such hardcore appearances were not just a case of breaking her in slowly to the industry either. Appearances in the anal only picture Pussy Haters and the extremely stiff School Of Hardcore signalled that she was a performer that was ready to jump in with both feet, an attitude and approach that immediately endeared Puma Swede to the industry. It also led to a contract with Black Widow, a contract that would only last for a short time though as she looked for other opportunities.

If she wanted to continue a quick rise in the industry then 2006 would be just the year she was looking for. She found herself working with the iconic Peter North, popping up in Peter North's POV and North Pole series, and then going on to work with Hustler, New Sensations and Red Light. It was the progress that she was looking for, but at the age of 30 she seemed at the right age for MILF genre producers to start using her in their products.

It was in these movies, as well as busty-based series that she really started to find what she seemed to feel was her best category of performance. A number of appearances in established mature series for the likes of BangBros in series such as MILF Soup, which then proceeded to become a successful site, confirmed that she was a performer that was here to stay. Her willingness to perform extreme hardcore content with little or no fuss was always going to help her cause as well.

As 2008 continues apace, she's now no longer a star on the rise but is now completely established, barely 3 years after her first registered appearances. Zero Tolerance and Brazzers have both recently employed her, whilst her official site courtesy of Blazing Bucks has been rather well received on the whole.

There are those who would believe there is no longer room in the modern industry for the statuesque blonde with surgically enhanced huge breasts and with seemingly little need to focus her attentions on anything outside of the adult industry. But as Puma Swede has proved, there is plenty of room for such a performer, especially a performer who is outperforming almost everyone else out there right now.
