Paul Thomas directs the 'Passions' alumnus, former Miss USA Kelli McCarty, who starred as villainess Beth Wallace in the NBC daytime drama "Passions,".
Kelli has made the highly uncommon move of crossing over into adult (of the non-celebrity sex tape variety)
"I enjoy acting, and I really like sex," said McCarty, "so this was the perfect opportunity to combine two of my passions. I approached Vivid with the idea of shooting a film with a sexy but interesting storyline, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of control I was given throughout the production process. I am very pleased with the final edit of Faithless, and I just may do another adult film."
This venture is the first time that a Miss USA, let alone an established TV actress, has made the crossover into adult (at least on purpose), by any standard, Kelli's performance in Faithless is incredibly erotic. She oozes sexy from every pore of her body. Vivid has made some footage from the movie available at www.kelliusa.com for the curious.
Vivid tasked acclaimed director Paul Thomas ("PT") to guide McCarty through the production of the "Faithless", which was shot in high-definition. The plot (does porn really have a plot?) follows "Callie" (McCarty) through a tough time in her marriage, her husband seems to have wandering eyes and she the relationship is on the rocks. She proceeds to seduce her stepdaughter's lover and the the erotic antics begin.
McCarty won the title of Miss Kansas in 1990 and was crowned Miss USA in 1991. She placed fourth in the Miss Universe competition that same year. Upon completion of her reign as Miss USA, McCarty appeared on several popular television programs, including "Melrose Place," "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Silk Stalkings," "Dream On," "Pacific Blue" and "Diagnosis Murder." She landed the role of Beth Wallace on the NBC daytime drama "Passions" in 1999 and played the character through 2006.Apparently Kelli found the porn industry to her liking and would not be against another feature film for Vivid.
"I enjoyed the filming process very much and found PT's production team to be extremely professional and highly skilled," said McCarty.Vivid responded that Kelli was a joy to work with and they would enjoy having her back.
"We've been credited with spearheading the transition of adult entertainment into the mainstream, but I was still surprised when Kelli approached us," said Hirsch. "As it turns out, she's a natural porn star."
Adult actors Daisy Marie, Jennifer Dark, Kelly Leigh, Voodoo, James Deen, Steven St. Croix and Herschel Savage are also featured in the "Faithless'"produced by Vivid Entertainment.
"Faithless," releases February 4.
