My Take
Mary Carey fascinates me less for the films than for the sheer nerve of the woman behind them. A Cleveland kid with a Florida Atlantic degree who threw herself fully into adult entertainment, earned an AVN Hall of Fame induction, and then actually ran for political office takes a kind of fearlessness most people never summon once. She put her own name on everything and refused to hide from the camera, even on reality TV at her most vulnerable. It is a polarizing career, no question, but I respect anyone who competes under their own banner and never flinches. There is real steel under the glamour.
