Kelli McCarty, a former Soap Actress in the U.S. has turned her back on mainstream acting and signed with Vivid. Her XXX debut is released next month.

Do you think this is a one-off or could it set a precedent?

Whats the big deal?

Half of those fresh off the bus in LA were looking for fame and stardom in Hollywood and found porn less hassle.

Cynical? Yes but true. it wouldnt be the first time either...Didnt the girl who did the soap ads in the 70's star in "Behind The Green Door"? and caused major controversy at the time (which helped sell the movie even more).

Difference these days is that the US porn scene has mainstream acceptance more than it used to.

Hopefully it'll give Tina O'Brien an idea...she must be after another job since leaving Corrie ;-)

Lacey Turner (Stacey from Eastenders) looks like she'd be right at home in a porn film as well ;-)

Oh come now Tel ... I am pretty sure if you had an ex Mainstream Actress and Ex Miss USA featuring in your product you would be using that fact SOLELY to sell it!!

So not quite sure why you are saying "What's the big deal??" Let's be honest Mainstream/XXX transitions don't come along very often so to some yes it is quite a bid deal - maybe the work dried up and it was either Porn or Celeb Big Brother and obviously she has a big of DIGNITY, so decided XXX!wink!

More details here for anybody interested:


think she will soon be appearing in some MILF tapes by the looks of things ...

Marilyn Chambers. Appearing in the Mitchel Brothers movies meant she lost the soap ad contract.

Yeah ok Crofter big deal for me but what i mean is there are plenty girls in US porn that couldve gone th emainstream route...Obviously the big bucks and the immediate access to it is more tempting than trying to beat down the front doors of mainstream.

Why not take the back door of notoriety and see where it goes? Im sure this is the thinking behind a girl considering the valley over Hollywood.

Some are cynical to say (ie me) that if you are sucking some casting agents cock for no guarantee of that acting job why not do it in porn star and get paid for it.

Theres something brutally and refreshingly honest about porn. I would like to hear Kelli McCartys reason for it. I wonder if her view will be similar.

Joanna Lumley never did porn! Glamour photos yes, but very tame by today's standards.
I met Marilyn Chambers when she appeared at the Raymond Revue Bar and have a signed photo to prove it. Very sexy lady, her Playboy spread was sensational!
