Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood

Actress/model/cosplay personality Ward provides insight into the often taboo subject of pornography film entertainment with this title. While there are many other porn star autobiographies (from Jenna Jamison and Asa Akira among others), there are very few coming from the perspective of mainstream actresses crossing over into this genre. Ward started her acting career in her teens (notably the sitcom Boy Meets World). She details her experiences working in Hollywood, mentioning well-known names and the harsh realities of working in the industry. She speaks about her professional and personal life, weaving tawdry details about her sexual exploits along the way. As she ages, traditional film/television opportunities eventually dry up and her phone stops ringing. Through a natural desire for exhibition and the type of affirmation it provides, she slowly morphs into an award-winning adult film actress. Ward’s honesty and reflection on the industry is often mixed with a steady sense of humor, but the details provided are not intended for those easily offended.
