Kaylani Lei

While it's tempting to say "don't call it a comeback," that's exactly what both Adam Film World and the X-Rated Critics Association did say when they gave exotic Kaylani Lei their Comeback Of The Year awards two years ago. And 2009 saw her career resurgence gathering even more steam, with her excellent lead in Michael Raven's erotic terror opus The Wickedearning her an AVN Best Actress nomination. It's a return to splendor that's been recognized by everyone from the Night Moves Adult Entertainment Awards to XBiz. And she's continuing to impress the critics today, winning a 2010 AVN award with her Wicked sisters for Best All Girl Sex Scene for her work in Brad Armstrong's future-sex epic 2040.

But while these raves appear to come to Ms. Lei with ease, her superstardom is the end result of a life marked by relentless ambition. Born in Singapore to Filipino parents, she made her home in Massachusetts, Virginia, Ohio, and Maine before taking a year off to compete in horse shows in Ireland. Soon thereafter, she began exploring the world of exotic dancing, and it was while performing in Las Vegas that she began considering a career in adult video. After moving to Los Angeles, she found immediate success in adult films, often working under the tutelage of Wicked Pictures' Michael Raven. With performances in Raven's high-tech fantasy Angel X and Jonathan Morgan's Wicked Auditions 2, she began receiving acclaim from fans and critics alike. Impressed with her energy and charisma, Wicked Pictures Owner Steve Orenstein signed her to an exclusive contract.

Late 2003 saw Kaylani firmly established as a leading lady, thanks to the release of the first film of her Wicked contract, Raven's Blue Rain, an erotic police drama that received press coverage in both AVN and on MTV. In 2004, Kaylani carried the lead in Brad Armstrong's acclaimed Eye of the Beholder, an AVN Editor's Choice. A frequent studio guest on both Playboy TV and mainstream radio, this sultry beauty also had a prominent role in rapper 50 Cent's interactive DVD Groupie Love, which won AVN awards for both Best Interactive DVD and Best Music.

Thanks to projects like Mad Love, Never Say Never, Writer's Bullpen, Operation Tropical Stormy, Fornic-Asian, House Of Wicked, and, of course, 2040, 2010 finds Kaylani at the peak of her career.
