Gauge is an American pornographic actor and feature dancer.

Career

After having appeared in about 140 movies, Gauge left the pornographic film industry in 2005 due to a contract dispute with her management company. She was certified as a surgical technologist, but she reported that she was often turned down for jobs because of her adult film career. She retrained as a makeup artist, but suffered similar issues.

While Gauge was studying to become a surgical technician, an anesthesia student recognized her as a pornographic actor, word spread among the staff and, when she was set to graduate, no one would sign off on her required hours. Later, while working at a hospital, her boss sexually harassed her and the hospital's complaints department did not believe her so she resigned.
