Born Karen Bach outside of Lyons, France, Karen Lancaume came from a wealthy family. The bi-racial beauty (French father, Moroccan mother) married at 17 while she was attending college.

They saw an opportunity to make a good amount of money quickly by performing in porn films, and in 1996 they both entered the industry.
