Sydnee Steele Wraps Softcore <i>House of Secrets</i>

Performer-turned-author and sex coach Sydnee Steele has finished shooting House of Secrets, her first in a planned series of softcore roles for MRG Entertainment/Mainline Releasing. Due for release in January, the movie will be seen on DirecTV, STARZ on Demand, BSkyB, Video on Demand and Showtime.

In the movie, Steele plays a vindictive wife who jumps into a secret, extramarital tryst with a younger man. “I find myself getting cast in those roles a lot,” she said. “I think it’s my look.”

Steele added that in real life, she’s very compassionate and good-natured; the opposite of some of the roles she’s often asked to play. “Sometimes I find myself apologizing to the guy I’ve just had to be mean to on set, after the director says ‘cut,’” she laughed.

The raven haired beauty, however, said that she doesn’t find it to difficult to slip into the evil-vixen persona. On getting back in front of the camera, Steele said: “I was reminded how much fun it is to act out a character and to reach beyond my normal personality, and to convince the audience that people really do some of the crazy stuff writers dream up. I can't wait to do another one.”

Steele recently published a book called "Seducing Your Woman" and offers sexual empowerment coaching through her website, www.TheLoveGeneration.com.

“I knew it was time to start feeding my fans again,” added Steele. “I have received many e-mails asking me to show off my body which has taken on an even more powerful look as I have taken to fitness modeling. I also like to take my fans into the fantasy world of erotica.”

Steele said that she intends on getting out in the public eye more in 2007. “I think the market that this [movie] hits is awesome…and I plan on getting out there a lot more in the future.” She also had high praise for her agent, Robert Lumbar, who helped her with getting the MRG Entertainment/Mainline Releasing deal. "He's an amazing guy to work with," Steele said.

Steele will be inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame at this year’s awards show in January. “It’s an awesome honor,” she said.
