Latina actress Monica Santhiago grew up in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where she graduated from high school. She then attended the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul where she majored in Pedagogy and Psychopedagogy. She went on to work as a kindergarten teacher for eight years. After losing her teaching job, Santhiago began working as a call girl, and later became interested in pursuing a career in porn after receiving an invitation from porn actor Don Picone. After giving it some serious thought, she decided to give adult films a try.
Santhiago made her porn debut in 2006 when she was 31 years old. She went on to perform in the industry for 6 years before retiring in 2012 with about 90 titles under her belt. During her 6 year career, Santhiago was in high demand. She became known for her big bubble butt and the barbed wire tattoo that snakes around her left hip onto her butt cheek. Over the years she had the good fortune to work with many of the industry's best production companies, including Red Light District, Zero Tolerance, Evil Angel, Bang Productions, and many more.
While her bubble butt made her easily recognizable, her sexual proclivities made her an overnight success. Santhiago is known for her penchant for wild and uninhibited anal sex scenes, an activity that won her the Erotika Video Award for Best Anal Sex Scene in 2009. She performed in other niches as well, including double penetration, A2M, interracial and solo masturbation scenes. Notable films for Santhiago include Round Latin Asses 1 (Elegant Angel), 1 in the Pink 1 in the Stink 10 (Red Light District), Lex Steele XXX 13 (Mercenary Pictures), Big Butt Brazilian Sluts 2 (Evasive Angles), and a solo masturbation scene in Cheek Freaks 7 (Evil Angel).
