Passions bombshell Kelli McCarty (ex-Beth) shocked the entertainment industry
when she announced she was making the transition from soap star to porn star.
McCarty's new Direct-to-DVD adult film Flawless: From Beauty Queen to Porn Queen
is on sale now from Vivid Entertainment. From TMZ, to Perez Hilton, to
Entertaiment Tonight, everyone in Hollywood was talking about McCarty. On
today's episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast, McCarty reveals all about
her controversial career move to Luke and Jamey.
McCarty talks with DC
about what led to her embarking on such an uncharted career path. She tells how
she pitched the idea for Flawless, and served as a co-writer on the project.
McCarty explains why she strove to make Flawless the type of adult film that
appeals to women, as well as men. She admits to being nervous about how her new
venture will be perceived. Will her Passions fans be receptive to Flawless? Did
the current state of the U.S. economy and lack of roles for actors facing a
streamlined pilot season and a potential SAG Strike play a factor in her
decision to do porn? Most importantly, what would Passions' Edna (Kathleen
Noone) have to say?
The soap vet shares her brief encounters with late
Passions creator James E. Reilly, and weighs in on the poignance of Passions
being cancelled shortly before his death. Is McCarty still in touch with any of
her daytime costars like Galen Gering or McKenzie Westmore, both of whom have
returned to soaps, if so, what are their thoughts on Flawless? Is McCarty afraid
her adult film turn will prevent a possible return to daytime in the future? Her
answers might surprise you.
The Miss USA 1991 then offers her perspect on
the pageant mom phenomenon, made notorious by the Jon Benet Ramsey Case, as well
as movies like Little Miss Sunshine and the upcoming WE reality show Little Miss
Perfect. Finally, McCarty talks about her stint tonight, hosting ACME this Week,
the popular sketch comedy show, that has boasted Ilene Kristen, Bryan Datillo,
Tichina Arnold (Everybody Hates Chris) and Arianne Zucker as recent hosts. Will
McCarty spoof her soap career? Her pageant career? Her porn career? All of the
above? It's an interview you won't want to miss. Then for those of you in Los
Angeles, head on over to Acme Comedy Theatre, located at 135 N La Brea Avenue,
L.A., 90036, at 8 pm to catch the show.
