The adult industry has known
Penthouse Managing Director Kelly
Holland for the better part of 20
years, beginning after she started
directing adult videos for Vivid in
1994. In fact, she enjoys telling the
story of how she got involved with
adult in the first place. Seems she
began looking for extra income
to supplement her earnings as
a documentary filmmaker, and
someone told her that Vivid was
looking for someone to edit some
of the movies being shot by their
team of directors. That arrangement
went along swimmingly for several
months—until Holland, ever the
perfectionist, started calling to Vivid’s
attention some of the continuity
problems she was seeing in the
films she was editing. Upshot? They
offered her a job directing.
