Nikki Dial

Nikki Dial

Born Nicole Grenier on October 5, 1973, in Erie, Pennsylvania, Nikki Dial entered the adult film industry in the early 1990s after beginning with nude photo shoots and amateur work at age 18. She relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a professional career, and her trajectory from that point was rapid.

Early Career and Studio Work

Nikki's professional debut came in 1991 with the film American Built. By 1992, she had already earned the AVN Best New Starlet award, along with Best Couples Sex Scene for Isabella. She went on to work with several well-known studios, including Legend, VCA, and Vivid Entertainment, where she held a contract for approximately one year. Over the course of her active period from roughly 1992 to 1997, she appeared in more than 70 films. Notable titles include Sex (1994), Things Change (1993), More Dirty Debutantes 23 (1993), and Bonnie and Clyde (1995). In 1994, she won the AVN award for Best Group Sex Scene for New Wave Hookers 3.

Collaborations and Print Work

During her active years, Nikki worked alongside performers such as Rocco Siffredi, Tom Byron, Tiffany Mynx, Jenna Jameson, Francesca Le, and Deidre Holland. Outside of film, she contributed a monthly column to Swank magazine and appeared in pictorials for Hustler and High Society.

Retirement and Later Activities

Nikki stepped away from adult film production in 1996, citing health concerns within the industry and a desire to pursue higher education. She studied speech pathology and later earned a degree in Exercise Science, eventually working as a personal trainer and professional counselor. She continued making occasional appearances as a feature dancer and actress until around 2004. During this period, she also provided voice acting for English-dubbed hentai anime, including Words Worth for NuTech Digital.

Recognition

In 2008, Nikki was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame. The following year, in 2009, the XRCO also inducted her into their Hall of Fame. These honors placed her among a relatively small group of performers from her era to receive dual hall of fame recognition.

Return in 2024

After nearly two decades away from any public-facing adult work, Nikki launched an OnlyFans account in 2024, though the content is primarily non-nude and oriented toward fan interaction rather than explicit material. She is of Italian descent, stands 5 feet 1 inch tall with brown hair and blue eyes, and is among the recognizable petite models from the 1990s era of adult film. She currently resides in California and maintains a largely private life.
