	Actors - Janet Romano

Janet Romano, better known as Lizzy Borden, (born December 10, 1977 in Huntington Beach, California) is a former porn star and professional wrestling valet. Together with her husband, porn producer Rob Zicari (aka Rob Black), she runs the porn company Extreme Associates; she has directed several degrading or violent porn movies and in 2003 she was indicted for distributing obscenity.

Early life

In an interview in 2002, she described a childhood characterized by beatings from her mother, who was herself regularly beaten by the alcoholic step father. At the age of 12 she moved in with her grandparents. When she turned 18, she entered a local community college, started to use drugs and became a stripper.

Pornography

Janet Romano started out as a porn star in 1998, initially under the name "Mia Mikels". Soon she signed with Extreme Associates and adopted the name "Lizzy Borden" which refers to notorious Lizzie Borden who was accused (and acquitted) of murdering her parents in the late 19th century. Janet Romano battled and overcame a drug problem and since 1999 she has directed several porn movies for Extreme Associates, among them Cocktails (2000) in which women drink vomit and other bodily fluids, Fossil Fucker (2001) in which old women have sex with young men, Cannibalism (2002), and Forced Entry (2002) which shows simulated rape.

The filming of Forced Entry was covered in the PBS Frontline documentary American Porn (2002); the makers of the documentary were repulsed and filmed themselves walking off the set. This scene possibly led to the undercover operation that resulted in Black's and Romano's indictment by a grand jury in 2003 for distributing obscene materials via the U.S. Postal Service and the internet in the Pittsburgh area; one of the cited movies was Forced Entry. See the article on Rob Black for further information on the court case.

Wrestling

In 1999, she and Black formed Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW) and she played the role of the evil, snobbish owner. She had Chastity as her assistant and feuded with Kristi Myst.

She eventually split with Chastity and feuded with Veronica Caine and helped Rob Black manage his Black Army. At one time, she managed John Kronus. In 2001, she feuded with Tylene Buck. In 2002, she feuded with Veronica Caine. In late 2002, she joined Shane Douglas to take over the company and they ran shows out of Pennsylvania.

XPW was forced to shut down operations due to the above-mentioned obscenity charges.
