[[Image:AN Belladonna 1.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Belladonna at the 2007 [[AVN Adult Entertainment Expo]]]]
Her career began in 2000 when she was 18.<ref name=rog1/> Her first film was ''Real Sex Magazine''.<ref name=rog1/> One of her early films featured Sinclair in a rough group sex scene with twelve men, staged in a prison. In this scene she was choked, slapped and verbally abused and often appeared to be on the verge of tears.<ref name=sexmachine/> She has since appeared in over 300 [[adult film]]s, including titles such as ''Service Animals 6 & 7,'' ''She-Male Domination Nation,'' ''Bella Loves Jenna,'' ''Back 2 Evil,'' ''Weapons of Ass Destruction,'' and ''Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge.''<ref name=GV/> In 2002 she featured in the multi award-winning [[BDSM]] themed ''[[Fashionistas]]''; its director [[John Stagliano]] described her as "a woman with the most incredible sexual abilities I’ve ever seen."<ref name=GV>[http://magazine.goodvibes.com/2007/04/11/porn-star-xxxposure-belladonna-qa/ Belladonna QA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070502015841/http://magazine.goodvibes.com/2007/04/11/porn-star-xxxposure-belladonna-qa/ |date=May 2, 2007 }} at Good Vibrations, April 2007</ref> As well as Stagliano she has often been directed by [[Nacho Vidal]], [[Jules Jordan]] and [[Rocco Siffredi]].<ref name=GV/> In 2003 she signed a contract with Sineplex, for whom she also directed.<ref name=rog2>[http://www.rogreviews.com/interviews/Belladonna2.asp interview #2 (March 2003)] at RogReviews.com</ref>
===Appearances===
She has appeared several times in the [[reality television]] series ''[[Family Business (U.S. TV series)|Family Business]]'', which focuses on the life of porn director [[Adam Glasser]] a.k.a. "Seymore Butts". In 2004 she was one of a number of porn stars photographed by [[Timothy Greenfield-Sanders]] for a "[[coffee table book]]" on the [[adult industry]], ''XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits''; she also appears in the [[HBO]] documentary ''[[Thinking XXX]]'' about the making of the book.
Belladonna was featured on the cover of [[metalcore]] band [[Asking Alexandria]]'s sophomore album titled ''[[Reckless & Relentless]]''.<ref name="fallenblue">{{cite web|url=http://fallenblue.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=180:fallen-blue-chills-asking-alexandria-after-setting-the-stage-ablaze-&catid=41:artiststories&Itemid=59|title=Fallen Blue interview with Asking Alexandria|publisher=|accessdate=8 October 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315223737/http://fallenblue.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=180%3Afallen-blue-chills-asking-alexandria-after-setting-the-stage-ablaze-&catid=41%3Aartiststories&Itemid=59|archivedate=March 15, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> She is also later featured in their short film Through Sin + Self Destruction.
In a 2007 interview with the Salt Lake ''City Weekly'',<ref name=sexmachine/> Sinclair expressed some regret about aspects of her career in pornography, particularly her early notoriety for performing acts and scenes that many other performers regarded as extreme or taboo. Lamenting the lack of guidance from more experienced actresses, Sinclair described an extended period of [[clinical depression]]. Sinclair stressed in this same interview, however, that she took responsibility for all her decisions and that she was never forced to perform.
In June 2010 it was announced that she would be part of the cast of the upcoming horror movie ''Stripped''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20501|author=Brad Miska|title=Popular Porn Star Gets 'Stripped' for 'Texas Chainsaw' Producer|date=June 8, 2010|publisher=Bloody-Disgusting.com|accessdate=June 9, 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611053113/http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20501|archivedate=June 11, 2010|deadurl=no|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
In 2011, she was named by [[CNBC]] as one of the 12 most popular stars in porn.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cnbc.com/id/40909215/The_Dirty_Dozen_Porn_s_Most_Popular_Stars|author=Morris, Chris|title=The Dirty Dozen: Porn's most popular stars|date=January 5, 2011|work=CNBC|accessdate=October 8, 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141014034417/http://www.cnbc.com/id/40909215/The_Dirty_Dozen_Porn_s_Most_Popular_Stars|archivedate=October 14, 2014|dead-url=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref> CNBC noted that while she had stepped back from acting to pursue directing and producing, she has maintained a loyal fan base, and has been nominated for 42 AVN awards and won 10 in the course of her career.
===Media attention from ''Primetime''===
[[File:Belladonna Erotica Los Angeles 2009 (1).jpg|thumb|200px|Belladonna attending the Los Angeles Erotica 2009]]
Her career in the pornography business was followed for two years by a crew from [[ABC Television]], culminating in a January 2003 interview with [[Diane Sawyer]] as part of a ''[[Primetime (U.S. TV program)|Primetime Thursday]]'' segment on [[pornography]].<ref name=GV/> At one point in the interview Belladonna broke down in tears, when Sawyer asked her, "You keep describing these awful things that happened to you. Yet, you keep smiling. Why?" Belladonna's smile wavered and her eyes watered up. "It's so I don't start crying," she said.<ref name=GV/> Part of the footage for the segment was an interview with Belladonna's sister, who had moved out to Los Angeles at Belladonna's urging, and who had gotten a job at Red Light District Films. Belladonna's sister revealed on-camera that despite her claims, Belladonna was actually quite depressed, and had recently been hospitalized following a suicide attempt. Another topic discussed in the interview was the fact that Belladonna had contracted [[chlamydia infection|chlamydia]].<ref name=sixty>{{cite web|url=http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/sixtyminutes/stories/2003_05_11/story_831.asp|title=Transcript: Porn in the USA|accessdate=January 4, 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061107120025/http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/sixtyminutes/stories/2003_05_11/story_831.asp|archivedate=November 7, 2006|dead-url=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The publicity provided by the interview boosted Belladonna's career.<ref name=GV/>
The interview has since been used by a number of [[anti-pornography movement|anti-pornography groups]] to support their case that pornography is exploitative of the women who appear in it; nevertheless, Sinclair remained an active performer in the industry. In later interviews, Sinclair claimed that she had never intended to make "anti-porn" statements.<ref name=rog2/> In one interview, when she was asked if she were happy with how the interview came out, her reply was:
{{cquote|I am not happy about ''Primetime'' but I would love to see the whole story air one day so everyone can see how much I had to say that was FOR the porn industry. If you know me you know that I loved shooting!<ref name=autogenerated2>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogreviews.com/interviews/Belladonna2.asp|title=Belladonna Interview|accessdate=July 19, 2007|author=Roger T.

ABC contacted her once to do a follow-up to the interview; she refused saying, "No thank you. I don't want to be embarrassed again."<ref name=mrweb/> Several figures in the porn industry objected to her comments on the program.<ref name=rog2/>
In an interview with ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'', Sinclair admitted that despite being depressed at the time, the interview was embarrassing, and that when she watched it, there were instances in the piece that were untrue.<ref name="vice.com"/>
===Retirement===
In August 2007, Sinclair decided to semi-retire from performing with other people over concerns of [[Sexually Transmitted Infection|STDs]], specifically [[herpes]]. She thought she had contracted herpes in 2002 and was worried the disease had spread; however it was later discovered that it was a skin rash rather than herpes. Regardless, she still decided to semi-retire.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.myspace.com/enterbelladonna|title=The end of an era...|accessdate=August 28, 2007|archivedate=September 9, 2008|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080909211953/https://www.myspace.com/enterbelladonna|dead-url=no|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessvoyeur.com/2007-08-29/belladonna-retires-from-performing|title=Belladonna retires from performing|accessdate=August 29, 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928044025/http://www.businessvoyeur.com/2007-08-29/belladonna-retires-from-performing|archivedate=September 28, 2007|deadurl=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="vv">{{cite news|first=Tristan|last=Taormino|authorlink=Tristan Taormino|title=Pucker Up: Danger on the Set: A porn star's early retirement has industry insiders talking STDs|publisher=archive.li|date=September 11, 2007|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/people/0737,taormino,77775,24.html|archive-url=https://archive.li/20070915034535/http://www.villagevoice.com/people/0737,taormino,77775,24.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=September 15, 2007|work=[[The Village Voice]]|accessdate=September 11, 2017}}</ref>

Belladonna was featured on the cover of [[metalcore]] band [[Asking Alexandria]]'s sophomore album titled ''[[Reckless & Relentless]]''.<ref name="fallenblue">{{cite web|url=http://fallenblue.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=180:fallen-blue-chills-asking-alexandria-after-setting-the-stage-ablaze-&catid=41:artiststories&Itemid=59|title=Fallen Blue interview with Asking Alexandria|publisher=|accessdate=8 October 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315223737/http://fallenblue.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=180%3Afallen-blue-chills-asking-alexandria-after-setting-the-stage-ablaze-&catid=41%3Aartiststories&Itemid=59|archivedate=March 15, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> She is also later featured in their short film Through Sin + Self Destruction.
In a 2007 interview with the Salt Lake ''City Weekly'',<ref name=sexmachine/> Sinclair expressed some regret about aspects of her career in pornography, particularly her early notoriety for performing acts and scenes that many other performers regarded as extreme or taboo. Lamenting the lack of guidance from more experienced actresses, Sinclair described an extended period of [[clinical depression]]. Sinclair stressed in this same interview, however, that she took responsibility for all her decisions and that she was never forced to perform.
In June 2010 it was announced that she would be part of the cast of the upcoming horror movie ''Stripped''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20501|author=Brad Miska|title=Popular Porn Star Gets 'Stripped' for 'Texas Chainsaw' Producer|date=June 8, 2010|publisher=Bloody-Disgusting.com|accessdate=June 9, 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611053113/http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20501|archivedate=June 11, 2010|deadurl=no|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
In 2011, she was named by [[CNBC]] as one of the 12 most popular stars in porn.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cnbc.com/id/40909215/The_Dirty_Dozen_Porn_s_Most_Popular_Stars|author=Morris, Chris|title=The Dirty Dozen: Porn's most popular stars|date=January 5, 2011|work=CNBC|accessdate=October 8, 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141014034417/http://www.cnbc.com/id/40909215/The_Dirty_Dozen_Porn_s_Most_Popular_Stars|archivedate=October 14, 2014|dead-url=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref> CNBC noted that while she had stepped back from acting to pursue directing and producing, she has maintained a loyal fan base, and has been nominated for 42 AVN awards and won 10 in the course of her career.
===Media attention from ''Primetime''===
[[File:Belladonna Erotica Los Angeles 2009 (1).jpg|thumb|200px|Belladonna attending the Los Angeles Erotica 2009]]
Her career in the pornography business was followed for two years by a crew from [[ABC Television]], culminating in a January 2003 interview with [[Diane Sawyer]] as part of a ''[[Primetime (U.S. TV program)|Primetime Thursday]]'' segment on [[pornography]].<ref name=GV/> At one point in the interview Belladonna broke down in tears, when Sawyer asked her, "You keep describing these awful things that happened to you. Yet, you keep smiling. Why?" Belladonna's smile wavered and her eyes watered up. "It's so I don't start crying," she said.<ref name=GV/> Part of the footage for the segment was an interview with Belladonna's sister, who had moved out to Los Angeles at Belladonna's urging, and who had gotten a job at Red Light District Films. Belladonna's sister revealed on-camera that despite her claims, Belladonna was actually quite depressed, and had recently been hospitalized following a suicide attempt. Another topic discussed in the interview was the fact that Belladonna had contracted [[chlamydia infection|chlamydia]].<ref name=sixty>{{cite web|url=http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/sixtyminutes/stories/2003_05_11/story_831.asp|title=Transcript: Porn in the USA|accessdate=January 4, 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061107120025/http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/sixtyminutes/stories/2003_05_11/story_831.asp|archivedate=November 7, 2006|dead-url=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The publicity provided by the interview boosted Belladonna's career.<ref name=GV/>
The interview has since been used by a number of [[anti-pornography movement|anti-pornography groups]] to support their case that pornography is exploitative of the women who appear in it; nevertheless, Sinclair remained an active performer in the industry. In later interviews, Sinclair claimed that she had never intended to make "anti-porn" statements.<ref name=rog2/> In one interview, when she was asked if she were happy with how the interview came out, her reply was:
{{cquote|I am not happy about ''Primetime'' but I would love to see the whole story air one day so everyone can see how much I had to say that was FOR the porn industry. If you know me you know that I loved shooting!<ref name=autogenerated2>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogreviews.com/interviews/Belladonna2.asp|title=Belladonna Interview|accessdate=July 19, 2007|author=Roger T.

ABC contacted her once to do a follow-up to the interview; she refused saying, "No thank you. I don't want to be embarrassed again."<ref name=mrweb/> Several figures in the porn industry objected to her comments on the program.<ref name=rog2/>
In an interview with ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'', Sinclair admitted that despite being depressed at the time, the interview was embarrassing, and that when she watched it, there were instances in the piece that were untrue.<ref name="vice.com"/>
===Retirement===
In August 2007, Sinclair decided to semi-retire from performing with other people over concerns of [[Sexually Transmitted Infection|STDs]], specifically [[herpes]]. She thought she had contracted herpes in 2002 and was worried the disease had spread; however it was later discovered that it was a skin rash rather than herpes. Regardless, she still decided to semi-retire.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.myspace.com/enterbelladonna|title=The end of an era...|accessdate=August 28, 2007|archivedate=September 9, 2008|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080909211953/https://www.myspace.com/enterbelladonna|dead-url=no|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessvoyeur.com/2007-08-29/belladonna-retires-from-performing|title=Belladonna retires from performing|accessdate=August 29, 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928044025/http://www.businessvoyeur.com/2007-08-29/belladonna-retires-from-performing|archivedate=September 28, 2007|deadurl=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="vv">{{cite news|first=Tristan|last=Taormino|authorlink=Tristan Taormino|title=Pucker Up: Danger on the Set: A porn star's early retirement has industry insiders talking STDs|publisher=archive.li|date=September 11, 2007|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/people/0737,taormino,77775,24.html|archive-url=https://archive.li/20070915034535/http://www.villagevoice.com/people/0737,taormino,77775,24.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=September 15, 2007|work=[[The Village Voice]]|accessdate=September 11, 2017}}</ref>

In 2014, Sinclair appeared briefly in [[Paul Thomas Anderson|Paul Thomas Anderson's]] ''[[Inherent Vice (film)|Inherent Vice]]'' as the sister of a biker.
