Mia Malkova

Mia Malkova

Starting her career in early 2012 at the age of 20, Mia Malkova has spent over 13 years in the adult entertainment industry, building one of the more recognizable names of her generation. Born Melissa Ann Hevner on July 1, 1992, in Palm Springs, California, she is of German, Czech, and Irish descent.

Early Career and Entry

Before entering adult entertainment, Mia worked fast food jobs at restaurants including McDonald's and Sizzler. She was introduced to the industry through her friend Natasha Malkova, whose surname she adopted as her stage name. Mia began with nude modeling and softcore work before moving into hardcore scenes. Her first scene was filmed for Reality Kings, and she was quickly named Twistys Treat of the Month in December 2012.

Studio Work and Filmography

Over the course of her career, Mia has accumulated over 400 adult film credits. She has worked with a wide range of major studios, including Brazzers, Digital Playground, Naughty America, Jules Jordan Video, Evil Angel, HardX, and the Vixen Media Group labels (Vixen, Tushy, Blacked). Notable titles in her filmography include The Preacher's Daughter (2016), Cumless: A DP XXX Parody (2017), and Climax (2020) for HardX. She began performing anal scenes in 2015, which became a significant part of her catalog going forward.

Her frequent collaborators have included Angela White, Riley Reid, Adriana Chechik, Abella Danger, and Tori Black, as well as male performers such as Manuel Ferrara and Markus Dupree.

Awards and Recognition

Mia won the AVN Award for Best New Starlet in 2014, followed by the XBIZ Award for Best Actress in a Feature Release in 2016 for The Preacher's Daughter. She also took home the 2017 AVN Award for Best Tease Performance and the 2019 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene for After Dark. She has received multiple nominations for Female Performer of the Year at both AVN and XBIZ.

Beyond Adult Film

Mia has pursued several ventures outside standard adult production. She appeared in God, Sex and Truth (2018), a short film directed by Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. She streamed on Twitch for several years and has maintained activity across various social media platforms. Her background in gymnastics, which she practiced in her youth, became something of a trademark due to the flexibility it afforded her on screen.

Personal Life and Current Status

Mia was previously married to performer Danny Mountain, with the marriage ending in 2018. As of early 2025, she has reportedly scaled back from regular performing but remains connected to the industry through producing and directing work, particularly with Vixen. She is a blonde standing 5 ft 7 in with hazel eyes and enhanced breasts. She maintains a presence on subscription platforms and continues to be listed among veteran models in the space.
