“She’s the consummate professional.” —agent Mark Spiegler
After joining Spiegler Girls—another benchmark in her industry journey—Wright says the new opportunities came early and often.
“Oh yeah, he pushed me,” she says. “Once I got with Spiegler I already had been in for a year and I literally took off. Companies that I always wanted to shoot for but never had the access to wanted to book me. Doors opened up. So I’m so grateful.
“I met people from there.”
People such as Bree Mills, the chief creative officer for Adult Time who is the mastermind behind
blue-chip studio labels such as PureTaboo and Girlsway.
It didn’t take long for Mills to realize Wright possessed a flair for acting as she cast her several
times in unconventional scenarios for the unapologetically dark PureTaboo. At press time Whitney had racked up a whopping 29 credits for PureTaboo since 2018, and another four for sister site Girlsway, where she was crowned Girl of the Month in June 2018.
“When I think of Whitney and the timeline of everything, we really in a way kind of came up at the same time—between 2016 to 2019, those few pre-pandemic years,” Mills tells AVN.
“She was one of those key players. I always like to think of having a close roster of people I work with a lot, especially during that time, and she was definitely one of them.
So when I think about my own career and the milestones that I achieved, her face and her presence and her energy and her talent were very much part of my own journey.”
Mills continues, “So when I think about Whitney, especially in those years, I think about somebody I could approach with any crazy idea. Some of them were pretty crazy and I remember a few of them in particular being kind of infamous and writing her... Like I would have an idea for a story and before I went too far I would stop and I would write her and say like, ‘Hey, listen... this is the idea I have for a story but I’m definitely not going to do it unless you’re into it and you’re down for it.’ And I remember there was one particularly infamous one where she said, ‘As long as I don’t go to the emergency room we’re good.’”
Mills added, “I always was impressed by how funny she was.”
Abigail Mac knows Wright’s sense of humor as well as anyone. She got away with cracking a raw egg on Whitney’s forehead in 2019, when they were making TikTok’s with Luna Star.
Everyone knows Wright always is up for a good laugh.
“I’ve met a lot of great people,” Whitney says. “I love it out here. And I love being in the industry. “And I’m still friends with the people I met—not like when I was first coming in—but when you
like fish through the party friends and you actually find your good, good friends in LA.”
Friends like Mac, who moved to Miami last year but remains one of Wright’s most enthusiastic supporters. The 10-year industry veteran from Baltimore calls Whitney “an unstoppable force”
and “the life of the party.”
