Haley Paige

It is with sadness that we remember Haley Paige, who passed away on August 21, 2007, at the age of 25. Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Hailey moved to San Diego, California, at the age of 12. Challenges marked her early years, yet she remained determined to forge her own path.

Hailey’s journey took her from humble beginnings to a varied career, first as a retail worker and later as a performer in the adult entertainment industry. Her candid and adventurous personality left a mark on many who knew her. Hailey entered the adult film world in 2000 at the age of 18 and appeared in over 500 productions, even branching into directing in 2006. Despite the often tumultuous nature of her personal life, Hailey’s charisma and openness shone through, both on and off the screen.

Hailey was known for her adventurous spirit, love of folk music, and a unique perspective on life. She cherished the simple joys of road trips, the cultural richness of Oklahoma, and the friendships she built along the way. Those who met Hailey remember her warmth, humor, and ability to find light in even the most challenging situations.

Her life, though brief, was filled with exploration, resilience, and the desire for connection. Hailey was laid to rest in a private ceremony honoring her blended Bahá’í and Roman Catholic faiths. Her untimely passing remains a subject of sorrow and unanswered questions for those who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her family, friends, and the countless individuals who were touched by her life story. Today, we reflect on her journey and the moments that defined her life, both the joyous and the challenging.

May she rest in peace.

Here is a story that Gene Ross shared about her on his facebook page, that gives a little more insite into her life.

 

“I got promoted very fast at Radio Shack, We would basically have sex in the bathroom while there were customers outside. And we’d go out all disheveled and try to help out everyone”…Haley Paige.

The late Haley Paige would have been 43 years old on December 30.

Hailey, obviously a very active Radio Shack employee before she got into porn, was seeing Wanker Wang [photo], a director and Internet guy.

Then Paige went missing for two months in 2007 along with her boyfriend, Wanker.

As rumors circulated about her possible demise. Hwang had been arrested on June 29, 2007, on charges related to beating and kidnapping Haley, but the charges were dropped, and Hwang was released on July 3, 2007. Haley and Hwang married on August 2, 2007.

It was later confirmed that Haley had died in King City, California, where she had traveled with Hwang. A coroner’s report indicated that she died on August 21, 2007. According to her family, she was buried in a small private ceremony, which combined elements of the Bahá’í and Roman Catholic faiths.

AVN reported that there was a “circulated rumor that Haley died of a heroin overdose.” however, a spokesman for the Monterey County Coroner’s Office stated that Haley did not have any track marks that would indicate this cause of death, though overdose by smoking heroin could not be ruled out. However, Sgt. Steve Miller of the King City Police Department disclosed that Hwang had been “implicated” in her death.

Hwang’s body was later discovered in a room at an Economy Inn in Morgan Hill, California, on September 29, 2007.

Born Maryam Irene Haley, Paige grew up in Mexico, where she lived until moving to San Diego, California, when she was 12. In an affidavit regarding her first marriage, she stated, “I was molested by an uncle, which my parents knew about, but never did anything. At school, I was raped consistently by gang members.”

It is not clear if these events occurred in Mexico or the United States.

Paige entered the adult entertainment industry in 2000, aged 18. While still living in San Diego, at the age of nineteen, she answered a newspaper advertisement for nude modeling. At the time, she had been working at Blockbuster and admitted that she had needed money to pay her rent.

In 2006, Haley made her directorial debut with the film Virgin Territory by Smash Pictures. She went on to do over 500 movies.

Paige married Martin Del Toro, a porn film director, on October 15, 2005; when they separated, Paige claimed that he had married her solely to become a legal resident of the United States (i.e., to get a green card).

She reportedly had hoped to become a psychologist or sex therapist after her film career was over.

Paige used to work at Radio Shack in Oklahoma, in all places.

Paige said she was starving to death doing that, although she was banging the store manager on a pretty regular basis. “I decided to do some nude modeling. And then I got into video, decided I liked it, and stayed.”

Paige was doing a road trip from San Diego and broke down in Oklahoma. She stayed there a year. “I got a job and everything to make enough money to come back.”

Paige’s father used to take the family on road trips all the time when she was little; that’s how she got the idea. I was curious if anything else exciting happened to Paige between San Diego and Oklahoma.

“I wore my good luck Dorothy dress. Which is a checkered dress with red ruby shoes. Luckily, nothing eventful happened.”

I ask her if she’s some kind of Wizard of Oz nut. Paige says, not really, she just thought it would bring luck. “And it did, but basically I was driving this piece of shit car and I made it all the way to Oklahoma in one piece.”

Paige is asked if the inclination wasn’t just to get the car fixed and move on. Why bother with Oklahoma? Paige says it has something to do with the fact of her having seen the film O Brother Where Art Thou?

“I got very interested in the folk scene. And I was just in time there for the Woody Guthrie festival. I went to that and I was hooked. I just loved it there. There’s so much folk music and the people I met were just amazing. I think I had a really good time there.”

Asked how she wound up at a Radio Shack, which turned into a love shack, Paige said she applied everywhere she could think of. “And they were the ones who called me back.”

Paige laughs about fucking the manager. “I got promoted very fast,” she says. “We would basically have sex in the bathroom while there were customers outside. And we’d go out all disheveled and try to help out everyone.

“We were doing inventory one night. I really liked him and he really liked me. He just put his hands on me. I didn’t stop him. That was his cue to keep going.”

Paige always knew she could use her body to make money, that she was told this all the time growing up. “I always knew this was an option,” she states.

“I didn’t want to be a street hooker or a stripper because I can’t dance. But the next best thing is porn.”

Paige said she’d always get offers of money.

“They wouldn’t exactly approach me but both men and women would talk to my friends in high school and say, oh, tell your friend that I’ll pay her a hundred bucks if she comes over to my house and suck my dick. That was always in the back of my head.”

Paige was 15 the first time she had sex.

“It was a guy from high school. He was in my class. He kind of jokingly said do you want to come to my house after school and have sex, thinking I would never say yes. I said yes. But we practiced safe sex.

“I went to a Catholic school. I found my dad’s old Playboys in a closet one day and I took them to school so my friends could share them with me. The five of us decided to go to the janitor’s closet which no ever went to and we all had sex.

“Naked, humping, fingers, everything. We didn’t know what to do but we were definitely experimenting a lot and trying to do everything we could think of. We did it a few times and never got caught. It was lunch break. But after awhile we got sick of it.”

Paige states that her first anal was actually on camera with Benjamin Bratt.

“It went great. I actually really, really liked it.” Paige said she don’t know what to expect, but to her that’s an advantage. “Then I totally enjoy it more,” she says of the surprise element. “Because I savor every moment.”

Maybe not the wildest thing she’s done so far, but Paige says she’s discovering her foot fetish. “I don’t like sucking other people’s feet but I like to have mine worshipped.”

Paige discovered that when Rod Fontana deep-throated her foot during a scene. Paige had just done a squirting video and that was a first for her, she says.

“This guy [Axel Braun] made me squirt, and I had never done that before. I never thought I could do it but I did.”

I mentioned the debate that’s ensuing over this subject to Paige.

“Yeah, they think it’s pee,” she says. I wonder if she drank a lot of water prior to that scene she’s describing. Paige says no. “And I had just pee’d right before the scene,” she adds. “So I know mine wasn’t pee, and I know some girls do pee. There are some girls who trick people, and there are some girls out there who really do squirt.”

It would appear the rumors are true.  This story first broke on Lukeisback, and try as I might, I couldn’t verify it, so I didn’t want to run it.  Paige had problems with ex-boyfriend Wanker Wang back in June; he was arrested for assault and kidnapping charges related to Haley.  He was later released when charges were dropped.

Paige’s death is not being investigated as an accidental overdose, and apparently, she was in the company of Wanker Wang, aka Chico Wang (Inkyo Volt Hwang), when she died.

Wang hasn’t been heard from, and lots of people inside and outside the biz are pointing the finger at him, though to my knowledge, at this point, he is no more than a person of interest to investigators.
