Jessica Drake

Karma can mean many things, but for Jessica Drake it has always meant an abundance of riches, charm, and success. Obviously endowed with great physical beauty, it is her provocative personality and sweet disposition that have helped this Wicked Pictures contract star develop one of the most acclaimed careers in the adult industry. And on January 13th 2007, that career reached a new pinnacle of success, as the blonde superstar supplemented her duties as host of the most-attended event in AVN awards history by taking home awards for Best Actress - Film (for director Brad Armstrong's bounty hunter epic 'Manhunters') and Best All-Girl Sex Scene - Film (for Armstrong's elegant vignette film 'FUCK'). But the unveiling of the 2008 AVN Nominations suggests that even greater accomplishments are in Jessica's immediate future, as she received a formidable number of mentions, including Best Actress in Video for Michael Raven's 'Delilah,' Best Supporting Actress in Video for 'Love Always' (which she also penned the screenplay for) and three sex scene noms for her work in Armstrong's cinematic fable 'The Craving.'

In light of these recent achievements, it's important to remember that even before she was an official member of Wicked's creative team, Jessica had appeared in some of the company's most impressive productions, including Armstrong's "Dream Quest" and "Falling From Grace," and Jonathan Morgan's "About A Woman," for which she received an AVN nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Prior to this, she'd received many other AVN noms, including Best New Starlet 2000, Best Couples Sex Scene 2001, Best Supporting Actress 2001, Best Tease Performance 2001 (which she won) Best Girl/Girl Scene 2002, and Best Group Scene 2002. It was obvious to Wicked from these early performances that Jessica was a unique find. Since inking her deal in 2003, she has appeared in such landmark, AVN-heralded titles as Morgan's sci-fi spectacular "Space Nuts," Armstrong's "The Collector" and "Sold," and Michael Raven's "Perfect Life" and "Highway." Jessica also starred in Armstrong's charming "Fluff & Fold," an acclaimed AVN Editor's Choice which earned her a much deserved 2005 AVN Award for Best Actress.

At the 2006 AVN Awards, she received a wealth of new nominations, including Best Actress for Armstrong's "One Man's Obsession," and Best Supporting Actress for both Armstrong's "Eternity" and Morgan's "Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre." The following year's AVN nominations saw her popularity reaching even higher levels, as she received eight major noms, including Best Actress - Video ("Curse Eternal") and Contract Star Of The Year. Even a glance at her track record reveals this actress to be one of adult's most precious assets. After all, this is the woman who has spent time in Sacramento, California meeting with state legislators as a part of the Free Speech Coalition's Celebrate Free Speech Lobbying Days. And it's the same woman who graced a photo essay commissioned by the U.N. in 2005.

But as insightful and thoughtful as she may be, this sultry vixen can always be counted on to deliver a dose of the provocative. Her wit and beauty have made her a well-known face in the mainstream. Jessica has appeared in Premiere, Chord, and Stuff magazines, been profiled on HBO's 'Pornucopia,' done radio interviews with metal legends Anthrax, danced on-stage with Kid Rock, worked on the FOX TV series "Skin," appeared on G4's "Attack Of The Show," walked the red carpet at the Grammy Awards, supported such Hollywood charities as 'Cuties For Canines,' and been featured on Late Night with David Letterman. Other TV appearances include interviews on AMC's "Sunday Morning Shootout," the CW's "The Tyra Banks Show," and 'Criss Angel's Mind Freak.' Thanks to an expanded deal with Wicked, Jessica will be writing and directing four movies in 2008. It's a path she's prepared for by assistant directing such Armstrong projects as "Coming Home," 'Last Night,' and 'Just Between Us,' and writing the screenplays for 'Love Always, 'Just Between Us,' and 'Dating 101.' As a performer, she continues to thrill fans in such celebrated titles as 'Mobster's Ball,' 'Dating 101,' 'Tasty,' and 'Bad Girls.'

She's gorgeous to be sure, but Jessica transcends mere physical allure. So get to know one of the most charismatic personalities in adult entertainment, because everything she does is certain to glow with vitality - just like the woman herself.
