Kathleen Mazzotta, born on January 5, 1969, in the state of Colorado, began her journey after graduating from high school by pursuing a career as an exotic dancer. In the early 1990s, she and her husband decided to create a few amateur adult videos for recreational purposes and to earn some extra income.
Her captivating performances and striking physical appearance, which is heavily influenced by her Italian heritage, quickly made her a standout in the amateur adult-film market. In 1992, adult movie producers took notice of Kathleen's immense popularity and, following her decision to undergo breast implants, she entered the world of professional pornography under the pseudonym Leena.
As Leena, she rapidly became a well-known and respected performer, earning numerous accolades including "best performer" and "best actress" awards at the prestigious AVN, XRCO, and FOXE awards. However, after a successful tenure spanning over three years, Kathleen decided to transition into mainstream films.
She secured roles in several B-movies, such as Other Men's Wives (1996) and Femalien (1996),as well as a part in the short-lived television series Sherman Oaks (1995) on Showtime. In recent years, she has limited her appearances to a few commercials and infomercials, but has established herself as a successful and respected theater actress in Los Angeles.
