 Former Miss USA/Soap Star Shows Off Additional Talents in
Vivid's 'Faithless'
Former Miss USA Kelli McCarty, who starred as villainess Beth Wallace in the NBC daytime
drama "Passions," has made the highly uncommon move of crossing over into adult
(of the non-celebrity sex tape variety) with Vivid Entertainment's "Faithless".
"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 "marks the first time that a Miss USA, let alone an established TV
actress, has made the reverse crossover into adult," said Vivid co-chairman Steven
Hirsch. "As it turns out, by any standard, Kelli's performance in Faithless
is incredibly erotic. She smolders sex from every pore of her body.
Hirsch said the studio assigned acclaimed director Paul Thomas ("PT") to guide
McCarty through the production of the big-budget feature shot in high-definition. The plot
follows "Callie" (McCarty) at a tipping point in her marriage, during which she
feels her husband has wandering eyes and she has lost control of the relationship. She
seduces her stepdaughter's boyfriend and the sexual fireworks follow.
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.
"I enjoyed the filming process very much and found PT's production team to be
extremely professional and highly skilled," said McCarty.
"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 movie.
