Angelina was born in Huntington Beach, California. She started in pornography at the age of 18. Three years later she applied to join the US Navy but was rejected because of insufficient college degrees.
Angelina entered the porn industry by answering a newspaper advertisement; her first scene was for the Shane's World series with Mr. Pete in 2003, at the age of 18. She became known for wearing glasses during her performances. During her career, she won several industry awards including the XBIZ award for Female Performer of the Year in 2008. She was named a Penthouse Pet in 2010, and in the same year named by Maxim as one of the 12 top female stars in porn. In 2014, she told Vice that she had earned a real estate license and was seeking to transition away from porn. In 2018 she began training to become a firefighter and paramedic, and after graduating from St Petersburg College Firefighting Academy in Florida in 2021 she worked as a firefighter for three years, going under her real name Nicole Tyler. In 2024, she made a significant comeback in the porn industry by signing a contract with Vixen Media Group to exclusively perform for their brands. Now embracing the MILF label, Angelina plans to remain in the industry for some time while also taking classes in medical school to eventually qualify for emergency department work.
Angelina was married to British pornographic film actor Danny Mountain from 2007 to 2009. She has two daughters. She spends her personal time doing CrossFit training and spending time with her family and friends. She also uses her voice to advocate for her former colleagues in the fire service.
