Originally starting her adult entertainment journey in 1994 with Penthouse, Taylor Hayes focused on featuring in various adult movies before signing an exclusive deal with Vivid as one of the Vivid Girls in 1997. Throughout her time as a Vivid Girl, she starred in over a dozen feature films and also landed a recurring role on Playboy TV. With some controversies along the way, Taylor made a name for herself in the industry before retiring in 2002. Her contribution to the adult film world was highlighted when AVN Magazine included her in the list of top 50 porn stars of all time.
Apart from her adult film career, Taylor Hayes took on roles in non-pornographic movies such as the softcore film Animal Instincts III in the mid-1990s and the B movie Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain in 2003.
After a temporary retreat from the industry, Taylor Hayes made an unexpected comeback in December 2005. Her return scenes featured in a wild multi-girl orgy for Shane's World Productions and an explicit oral encounter with Mark Davis, both captured by Glasser for his company. Connected in a surprising development, Taylor Hayes is currently managed by Glasser's talent agency, showcasing a turnaround in her recent endeavors.
