“I love it out here. And I love being in the industry.”
“When I first met Whitney and saw her and performed with her, I knew she was going to do something big with her career,” Abigail tells AVN. “I thought she had a fantastic look and a fantastic attitude and one thing I always told her is she has this unique, amazing personality that needs to be shared with the world.
“She’s hilarious, witty and smart. I feel like everybody needs to experience Whitney.”
“Abi was one of my first really good friends,” Wright adds. “Even when I was brand new when I had first signed with Spiegler I remember talking to her and she was like so nice, when I was essentially like no one really. I didn’t have like a name.
“And she was such an inspiration. She was always just positive when I was talking to her. She would tell me, ‘You can make your own name. You can make your own rate. You can demand this... You can basically have your cake and eat it too in the industry—like the world is yours, if you want it.’
“So she’s been amazing. I love her.”
As Wright diversified her resume, delivering in acting roles that were both lighthearted and
serious, she also blossomed as a sexual athlete. The performer at press time had racked up almost 740 credits, according to IAFD, including more than 160 anal scenes—and almost two dozen DPs for some of the biggest gonzo porn producers in the world.
“Whitney Wright is one of the most versatile performers out there,” says AVN Hall of Fame producer/director Jules Jordan, who has produced and/or directed at least 10 anal scenes featuring Wright since 2018. “She is a great actress and an anal gonzo superstar. We have and will always cherish her performances for JJV.”
Wright also has amassed close to 60 directing credits—more than 40 for story-driven, heavyweight studios such as MissaX, AllHerLuv and PureTaboo—since her breakout year as a shot-caller in 2019.
Her first directorial effort for Dorcel, Vanna 4 You, came out in November and her next one, a feature titled Torn, is set for release in the first week of August.
Wright shot Torn in November in L.A., casting Skye Blue, Ana Foxxx, Damon Dice, Dante Colle, Gianna Dior, Aria Lee and Violet Starr.
“Skye Blue is the main character. It’s really like about how Skye and Ana fall for each other,” she says.
Whitney admits that writing and directing a love story for Dorcel was somewhat of a departure from a lot of the more “sinister” fare for which she has become known.
“And the characters have always been a little bit more—or a lot more—deceptive, kind of driven by their own selfish desires,” she says.
