- Marie McCray at the 2013 AVNs
It would be easy to mistake Marie McCray for a hair model with her long, resplendent red locks that frame her lightly freckled face, pale blue eyes, and soft pink lips. In a way she is a hair model, as her luscious tresses are one of her most defining characteristics, earning her the label, "the number one redhead in porn." When I meet her at the 2013 Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, McCray is wearing a radiant pink dress that gives her the look of a prom queen whose bubbly personality and innocent appearance conceal her promiscuous nature.
McCray worked as a model and an exotic dancer, and even went to school to be an accountant, before diving into the adult industry in 2007. For her first major role she landed the title character in Angel Face, playing a small town ingénue with Hollywood dreams. The performance earned her an AVN nomination for Best Actress. In 2011, she earned another AVN nomination in the category of "Most Outrageous Sex Scene" for a three-way with Natasha Nice and Shawna Lenee. The Hustler centerfold has since worked with every major studio, performing with boys and girls in more than 100 scenes. Most recently she starred in the x-rated feature film, Revenge of the Petites.
