Silver was born in Tempe, Arizona. She was born with a missing fibula in one leg which required the bottom half of it to be amputated.[2] She ran away from home at age 16 in 1976 to go to New York City, where she began to pose for adult magazines and perform in porn films.[3]
Prior to pornography, she worked as a stripper.[1][4] She was also featured in the self-titled movie, Long Jeanne Silver.[1][5][6] She also was a centerfold for Cheri magazine.[2]
Annie Sprinkle and Silver were once arrested in Rhode Island for producing a magazine that featured a shoot in which Silver penetrated Sprinkle with her stump. The typesetter the magazine hired turned out to be an undercover police officer. The police surveilled them for a month before arresting the group. Multiple obscenity and sodomy-related felony charges were brought against Silver and Sprinkle, all of which were eventually dropped.[7]
