Melissa Riso Bio

Melissa Riso is an American-born glamour and adult model, and porn actress. She was born as Melissa Lauren Riso on June 27, 1986 in Monterey, California, United States. Her zodiac sign is cancer. She is also known as Claire Sanders or June XoXo.

In June 2010, Melissa Riso brought her signature glamour and star appeal to Playboy.

Melissa Riso has humble enhanced breasts, charming hazel eyes, and rich brown hair. With a sensually shaped 32-24-34 frame, she's a true embodiment of Playboy allure.

Melissa Riso brings a polished, Los Angeles glamour to the frame — actress, model, commercial beauty, and screen presence with the kind of ambition that belongs naturally to the city where image and opportunity meet. Her appeal is sleek and camera-ready, shaped by fashion, fitness, beauty campaigns, and the steady discipline of a performer determined to build her name one booking at a time.

Her move to Los Angeles in 2010 marked the beginning of a more serious push into acting and modeling. Like many women drawn to Hollywood, Melissa arrived with beauty, drive, and the willingness to work across every available lane. She began modeling for clothing lines and skincare products, building a visual identity around glamour, health, style, and commercial appeal.

In March 2011, Melissa Riso added a major men’s-magazine credit to her résumé when she appeared as a Hustler Honey. That feature placed her firmly within the glamour-modeling world, highlighting the confidence, sensuality, and camera awareness that would continue to define her image. For Melissa, it was another step in shaping a career built across modeling, entertainment, and bold visual presence.

As her modeling career developed, Melissa started booking acting roles in short films including Timid Pimps, Jungle Dead Two, TeleviSean, Spare Change, and other independent projects. Those early screen appearances helped her sharpen her craft and expand beyond still photography, giving her the chance to bring movement, personality, and performance to the image she had already built as a model.

Her biggest breakthrough came in 2014, when she landed her first lead role in a national Pepsi commercial. That moment gave her career a major commercial milestone, placing her in front of a broad audience and confirming her ability to carry a campaign with confidence and polish. The same year, she added further momentum with commercials for Fila and LA Fitness, strengthening her place in the world of lifestyle, fitness, and brand-driven entertainment.

What makes Melissa Riso memorable is the persistence behind the glamour. She represents the working Hollywood beauty who moves between men’s magazines, modeling, commercials, short films, and branded campaigns with focus and adaptability. Melissa brings the camera a clean, modern, confident energy — a woman of style, discipline, and ambition, shaped by Los Angeles and fully aware that every frame can become the next opportunity.
