Michelle Wild was born on January 16, 1980, in Sátoraljaújhely,
Hungary. She graduated from the Kossuth Lajos Gimnázium high school in
her hometown in 1999. She worked as a phone sex operator and stripper
before she got into the adult film industry at age 20 with a role in
Private Penthouse Movies: Sex Opera (2001). She
subsequently worked for Private Media Group and LUXx Video, with such
directors as Kovi,
Antonio Adamo,
Jean-Yves Le Castel,
Christoph Clark,
John Walton and
Pierre Woodman.
Michelle appeared in more than 70 adult films and became very popular
in adult and mainstream media in Hungary and the rest of Europe (and
the world). She was known in the business for her natural beauty, kind
personality and exceptional intelligence. She had a regular column in
the mens magazine "FHM", posed for that magazine and "Playboy" and
co-hosted a late-night radio talk show, where she met her future
husband, a bartender. In 2003 she won a Venus Award in Germany. She
also won a best actress award at the 2003 Brussels Erotic Festival and
a best supporting actress award at the Barcelona International Erotic
Film Festival that same year. In 2004 she won an AVN Award for her
performance in the John Leslie
production
Crack Her Jack 1 (2003).
After she gave birth to baby daughter Málna Vad Horváth on 21 December,
2004, she retired from the adult business. Then, surprisingly, she
received a Lifetime Achievement Award in the third Tutti Frutti
szexkorona díjátadó gála (Hungarian adult Oscars ceremony). Later, in
2005 she joined the cast of the successful hospital-themed daily soap
opera Jóban rosszban (2005)
("Good times, bad times") on Hungary's TV2.
Michelle has told in several interviews in her country that she has
completely changed and although she does not deny her past, she would
not take the porn actress road again. In 2008 she posed for FHM one
more time.
