Allysin Chaynes (born February 11, 1979 in Romania) is a porn star. Born in Romania, she and her parents moved to the United States during her childhood, eventually settling in California's San Fernando Valley. She aspired to become a film actress, going as so far as to take acting classes. Instead, she, with her then-boyfriend, began working in pornography in 1997, answering a newspaper advertisement placed for Up and Cummers 45, a movie directed by Randy West. Her stage name is derived from the heavy metal rock bank Alice in Chains. She originally wanted to call herself Allysin Wonderland, but changed the surname to Chaynes at the behest of Randy West. Allysin lent her voice to the English dub of the hentai anime Vicious, released in 2001. She plays the main character Angela in both episodes of the series.
