Wane initially wanted to be a teacher. However, at age 18, her mother entered her into a calendar girl competition, which she won. This led her to an interest in becoming a model and she was soon signed by an agency. After moving to London, she began working as a topless model. Next, she moved to Los Angeles, where she spent more than a year working as model for men's magazines. Wane began performing in the adult video industry in 1989.
